BUTT WELD - SINGLE "V" PREPARATION







Note : Position 3 & 4 is for scanning from the weld surface and will be applicable whenever the weld is flush ground with base
metal. Scan shall be along the axial direction of the weld to find any transverse indication.
a. Parent Metal Examination:
Scanning Positions : 1 8 2 over 2.S times the parent metal
thickness each side of the weld toe.
Scanning Pattern : Overlapping Scans
Sensitivity : 2
nd
back wall echo at full screen height
Probes : 0 - 2.2S NHz to S NHz TfC or SfC
b. Weld Metal Examination:
Scanning Pattern : Overlapping Scans.
Probes Scanning Options Scanning Sensitivity
0 3 (if required) Reference side drilled hole set to DAC + 6 dB
+S 1 8 2 Reference side drilled hole set to DAC + 6 dB
60 1 8 2 Reference side drilled hole set to DAC + 6 dB
70 1 8 2 and 3 8 + Reference side drilled hole set to DAC + 6 dB
Evaluation Sensitivity : !n access of 20 D.A.C.
Sizing Technique : 6 dB drop / max amplitude or similar
recognized technique
Note: Scans 3 8 + may also be necessary with +S or 60 probes for transverse discontinuities with particular
orientations.
