TERMINOLOGY (a) Rounded indications, indications with 9 maxcinsum length of three times the width or less on the radiograph are defined as rounded indications. These indications may be etrcular, elliptical, conical, or irregular in shape and may have talls. When evaluating the size of an indication, the til shall be included. The indication may be from any Imperfection in the weld, such as porosity, slag, or tungsten, (2) Aligned indications. A sequence of four or more rounded indications shall be considered to be aligned ‘when they touch a line parallel to the length of the weld drawn through the centor of the two outer rounded indications {fe} Thickness t isthe thickness of the weld, excluding any allowable reinforcement: For a but weld joining two mombers having different thicknesses at the weld, ¢ isthe inner of these two thicknesses.
