Elongated 6.0 mm (¼") for t up to 6.0 mm (¼") for t up to 2/3 t where t is the thickness
Indications 19.0 mm (¾") inclusive; 19.0 mm (¾"); of the weld excluding
1/3t for t from 19.0 mm (¾") 1/3t for t from 19.0 mm (¾") allowed reinforcement

57 mm (2¼") 57 mm (2¼")
Group Of aggregate length greater aggregate length greater The sum of the longest
Aligned than t in a length of 12t, than t in a length of 12t, dimensions of all such
Indications except when the distance except when the distance indications is < t in a length
between successive between successive of 6t & the longest
indications exceeds 6L indications exceeds 6L indications are separated by
where L is the longest where L is the longest 3L where L is the length of
indication in the group indication in the group the longest indication. The
maximum length of
acceptable indication shall
be 3/4". Any such indication
shorter than 1/4" shall be
acceptable for any plate
thickness.
Porosity & Refer to section 5.2 of this Refer to section 5.2 of this Round indications are not a
Rounded SAEP SAEP factor unless 100%
Indications examination is required.
Tungsten Refer to section 5.2 of this Refer to section 5.2 of this Rounded tungsten inclusions
SAEP. SAEP. are to be evaluated as
rounded indications per UW-
51. Elongated and aligned
tungsten inclusions are
unacceptable.
Root Concavity Unacceptable if the density
is greater than that of the
parent material.
Rounded Indications shall be judged against the standards set forth in ASME Section VIII - Division 1,
Appendix 4.
2.1 The type of weld joints and service conditions shall be considered
to determine the method of NDE required. Table 2-1 is to be used
with all notes and is included with this SAEP for radiographic film
interpretation..
Notes:
(1) Criteria given are for required examination. More stringent criteria may be specified in the engineering design. See
also paragraphs. 341.5 and 341.5.3 of ASME/ANSI B31.3
(2) Longitudinal groove weld includes straight and spiral seam. Criteria are not intended to apply to welds made in
accordance with a standard listed in Table A-I or Table 326.1 of ASME B31.1.
(3) Fillet weld includes socket and seal welds, and attachment for slip-on flanges and branch reinforcement.
(4) Branch connection weld includes pressure containing welds in branches and fabricated laps.
(5) These imperfections are evaluated only for welds 5 mm (3/16 in.) in nominal thickness.
(6) Where two limiting values are separated by "and", the lesser of the values determines acceptance. Where two sets
of values are separated by "or", the larger value is acceptable.
(7) Tightly butted unfused root faces are unacceptable.
(8) For groove welds, height is the lesser of the measurements made from the surfaces of the adjacent components.
For fillet welds, height is measured from the theoretical throat, Fig. 328.5.2A, of ASME/ANSI B31.3 internal
protrusion does not apply.

ASME/ANSI B31.8
Table 4-1 (AWS DI.I 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. (E = weld size; T =
material thickness)
