(1) RT% is referred to Butt Welds.

All pressure containing welds, other than butt welds (including branch connections such as
weldolets, sockolets and welding bosses) shall be 100% examined by MT (for ferromagnetic
material), by PT (for non-ferromagnetic material).
Low Alloy material such as 1.25%Cr and 2.25%Cr shall be examined by Fluorescent MT.

(2) Branch connection shall be considered partially radiographable when the following condition
exists:

D2

Radiographable zone

D1

In such a case in addition to the applicable MT or PT a Spot RT is required.

(3) Hydrocarbon lines at road crossing (carrier pipe only) requires 100% radiography

(4) The Appointed Inspector can require the RT execution on socket welds to verify the correct
clearance (gap).

(5) All welds shall be 100% Visually Examined before any other NDT.

(6) Whenever PWHT is carried out for CODE (due to thickness), hardness test can be required by
the Appointed Inspector to verify satisfactory heat treatment.

(7) For PMI detailed examination coverage makes reference to JERES-A-206; in any case
pressure retaining alloy components and welds shall receive 100%.

(8) Filler metal for Austenitic Steel welds whose service is >450C shall have Ferrite content
between 3% and 10% measured on batch bases by weld deposit and WRC 92 diagram.

(9) Additional RT on socket welds shall be performed to verify 1.5mm gap before welding
according to ASME B31.3 Fig. 328.5.2C. Extent of RT shall be 3%.

(10) First pass (root pass) shall be carried out by GTAW.
