ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA Preparation for Examination Calibration Confirmation. Calibration check are made on the basic calibration block to verify that distance range points and sensitivity setting(s) are not changed. (ASME, Section V, Article 4 Para. T-466.1) The thickness of each member from which scanning is to be achieved should be determined and recorded for use in the flaw location determinations. (ASME, Section V, Article 4 Para. T-472. API RP 2X Para. 7.6.3 & 7.6.4) The entire area from which scanning is to be achieved should be examined by the longitudinal wave technique to assure freedom from lamination or other laminar-type flaws which could interfere with sound wave propagation. (ASME, Section V, Article 4 Para. T-472. API RP 2X Para. 7.6.3 & 7.6.4) Technique sheet approved with the UT procedure is available and the techniques for each type of weld configurations (TKY joints and others) are employed for UT examinations. (ASME, Section V, Article 4 Para. T-422.1/ API RP 2X Para. 7.4) General Examination Requirements Examination Coverage. The volume to be scanned shall be examined by moving the search unit over the scanning surface so as to scan the entire examination volume for each required search unit. (a) Each pass of the search unit shall overlap a minimum of 10% of the active transducer (piezoelectric element) dimension perpendicular to the direction of the scan. (b) Alternatively, each pass of the search unit may overlap a dimension less than the minimum beam dimension. (ASME, Section V, Article 4 Para. T-471.1) Pulse Repetition Rate. The pulse repetition rate shall be small enough to assure that a signal from a reflector located at the maximum distance in the examination volume will arrive back at the search unit before the next pulse is placed on the transducer. (ASME, Section V, Article 4 Para. T-471.2) Rate of Search Unit Movement. The rate of search unit movement (scanning speed) shall not exceed 6 in./s (152 mm/s). (ASME, Section V, Article 4 Para. T-471.3)

ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA Scanning Sensitivity Level (a) Distance Amplitude Techniques. The scanning sensitivity level shall be set a minimum of 6 dB higher than the reference level gain setting. (b) Non-Distance Amplitude Techniques.The level of gain used for scanning shall be appropriate for the configuration being examined and shall be capable of detecting the calibration reflectors at the maximum scanning speed. (ASME, Section V, Article 4 Para. T-471.4) Weld Joint Distance Amplitude Technique - Angle Beam Technique Beam Angle. The search unit and beam angle selected shall be appropriate for the configuration being examined and shall be capable of detecting the calibration reflectors, over the required angle beam path. (ASME, Section V, Article 4 Para. T-472.1.1) Reflectors Parallel to the Weld Seam. The angle beam shall be directed at approximate right angles to the weld axis from both sides of the weld (i.e., from two directions) on the same surface when possible. The search unit shall be manipulated so that the ultrasonic energy passes through the required volume of weld and adjacent base material. (ASME, Section V, Article 4 Para. T-472.1.2) Reflectors Transverse to the Weld Seam. The angle beam shall be directed essentially parallel to the weld axis. The search unit shall be manipulated so that the ultrasonic energy passes through the required volume of weld and adjacent base material. The search unit shall be rotated 180 deg and the examination repeated. (ASME, Section V, Article 4 Para. T-472. 1.3) Restricted Access Welds. Welds that cannot be fully examined from two directions using the angle beam technique (e.g., corner and tee joints) shall also be examined, if possible, with a straight beam technique. These areas of restricted access shall be noted in the examination report. (ASME, Section V, Article 4 Para. T-472.2) Inacessible Welds. Welds that cannot be examined from at least one side (edge) using the angle beam technique shall be noted in the examination report. For flange welds, the weld may be examined with a straight beam or low angle longitudinal waves from the flange face provided the examination volume can be covered. (ASME, Section V, Article 4 Para. T-472.3)
