Weldolet PAUT and Manual UT Scan Plan

The document discusses a PAUT scan plan for inspecting a weldolet (branch connection) on a pipe. It notes the pipe and weldolet diameters and thicknesses. It explains that using PAUT from the pipe is impractical due to corner reflections from the weldolet ID and weld reinforcement that could camouflage lack of penetration. It also notes the limiting 45 degree angle when using manual UT from the pipe side.
