Note: (1) Classification of steel members are defined in section 3 of this specification.
(2) Applies to all welds other than butt welds (such as T, K or Y-joints, tubular
joints) having full penetration, or partial penetration with weld metal cross-
section exceeding 12.7mm (1/2”).
(3) Magnetic particle testing may be replaced by liquid penetrant testing with prior
approval of ADMA-OPCO.

(4) Applies to welds subject to dynamic load or welds performed on high

strength steel.

(5) 100% on first 10 welds then 20%.

(6) Ultrasonic testing applies when material thickness is more than 12.7 mm
(1/2”). Ultrasonics may be replaced by radiography where wall thickness is
less than or equal to 30 mm.

(7) Radiography is normally replaced by ultrasonics for thickness > 30 mm.

Radiography applies by priority to intersections of butt welds and to start and
stop points of automatically welded beams.

(8) 100% of extent for radiography (WT 40mm) or ultrasonics (WT > 40 mm)
of:
- Flanges of main beams and columns
- Circular welds of main tubulars.

(9) If defect rate in the inspected welds which are not 100% tested (i.e. by
radiography, ultrasonics, magnetic particle) exceeds 10%, the remaining welds
shall be 100 % NDT tested at the main CONTRACTOR’s expenses.

(10) Magnetic particle to 100% extent only when welding on semi-hard or hard
steels and alloy-steels liable to quenching under welding operation (for
instance welding of bearing plate). Purpose of inspection mainly to ensure
freedom of cracks, excessive undercuts or other injurious notch defects.
