This SAEP covers only statically loaded structures. For Dynamically loaded structures, refer to the appropriate sections of AWS D1.1. If there is doubt as to the designation of statically or dynamically loaded, refer to the project engineer for determination. The radiographic film interpreter should confirm the loading classification prior to proceeding the interpretation of film, Rejection criteria for Statically loaded structures are provided below. Note that to determine the allowable and rejectable size of discontinuities, the use of both the tables and charts are required. Statically Loaded Structures Table 4-1 (AWS D1.1 Paragraph 8.15.3.2) and figure 4-1 together establish the rejection criteria for radiographic indications of statically loaded structures. Discontinuities exceeding the following limitations shall be unacceptable.
