For main line joints, the radiography shall be taken using internal crawlers i.e., by Single Wall Single Image (SWS). Panoramic (SWS) - film is placed outside on weld seam along the whole weld joint while the radiation source is installed inside the pipe in its center. For Tie-In joints, the radiography shall be taken by using external X-ray machine i.e. by Double Wali single Image (DWS). Film is placed outside on weld joint, while the radiation source is installed outside the pipe in the opposite direction. The repair shall be subjected, a minimum requirement, to. he same testing and inspection GODAVARI PIPELINE PROJECT nes GGPL JOB PROCEDURE FOR RADIOGRAPHY TEST BY X-RAY DOCUMENT NO. : GGPL-MEC-TGS-QCP-ML-JP-07 [Link].01 | Page 6of 14 out. In addition, a minimum 6° weld length on the either side of the repaired area shall be re-radiographed. While evaluating the repair films, the interpreter shall compare each section of weld with original films. * Radiographic examination by Gamma rays may be allowed, at the discretion of the COMPANY, In case of inaccessible main line joints and Tie-in joints radiography using gamma ray source with slow speed films (D4or equivalent) shall be done with prior permission from MECON/GGPL. * When the radiation source and the film are both on the outside of the weld and located diametrically opposite each other other, the maximum acceptable length of film for each ‘exposure shall not exceed the values given in Table-4 of API 1104. The minimum film overlap, in such cases, shall be 40mm. © Type 2 &3 Films shall be used as per ASTM E-94. Radiation Source Whenever possible, pipeline welds will be inspected by placing the radiation source inside the Pipe, on the pipeline axis, with a radiation of 6.28 rad, (360°C),.If it is impossible to place the radiation source inside the pipe,the weld will be inspected with the source on the outside. An overlap of at least 40 mm at the ends of each film shall be required to ensure that the first and last location increment numbers are common to successive films and to establish that no part of a weld has been omitted.

For radiographs made with the source on the outside, a penetrometer shall be placed on each side of the film with the smaller wire of the penetrometer turned towards the end of the film itself. When a complete weld is to be radiographed in a single exposure using source inside the piping, four penetrometer approximately equally spaced around the circumference shall be used. For DWSI process 02 nos. penetrometers (IQ) shall be placed at every film. During the procedure qualification, IQ! shall be placed both on the source side and on the film side. The sensitivity obtained with IQI on the source side shall not be less than the values shown in the MECON specification. The sensitivity limit may be considered to have been reached when the outline of the Ql, its identification number and the wire of the required diameter show up clearly on the radiograph. The COMPANY may authorize use of types of IQ other than those planned, provided that they conform with recognized standards and only if the TGS is able to demonstrate that the minimum sensitivity level required is obtained. For this demonstration, a test shall be carried out comparing the IQI specified and the TGS's, to show up the identification number and other details of the proposed IQI, which must be visible in the test radiography. > Film Selection * AGFA D7, DS, D4, or Kodak AA-400, T200, MX125, or FUJI IX100, IX80, IX50 any one of these films shall be used.
