API 1104 Acceptance Criteria Guide

This document provides acceptance criteria limits for various weld defects in API 1104. It lists the maximum allowable sizes for defects like misalignment, incomplete penetration, incomplete fusion, cold lap, internal concavity, burn through, slag inclusion, porosity, hollow bead, cracks, and undercut. Remarks are also included that refer to the specific sections in API 1104 that describe each defect type.
