    Study Notes

    Weld Inspection Standards and Procedures

    • Nonrelevant indications of the same type do not need to be reexamined after one is determined to be nonrelevant
    • Relevant indications caused by imperfections are considered defects under certain conditions
    • Linear indications are those with a length more than three times the width, rounded indications have a length three times the width or less
    • Crater cracks or star cracks exceeding 5/32 in. (4 mm) in length are considered defects
    • Linear indications evaluated as cracks other than crater cracks or star cracks are considered defects
    • Linear indications evaluated as IF and exceed 1 in. (25 mm) in total length in a continuous 12 in. (300 mm) length of weld or 8% of the weld length are considered defects
    • Base material imperfections detected by liquid penetrant testing are reported to the company for disposition
    • Indications produced by ultrasonic testing may not necessarily be defects, as they can be caused by various imperfections
    • Linear, transverse, and volumetric indications are defined and categorized based on their characteristics and dimensions
    • Acceptance standards for different types of indications, including cracks, surface, buried, and volumetric indications, are specified
    • Maximum dimensions are defined for different types of indications to determine if they are defects
    • Accumulation of relevant indications exceeding specific lengths in a given area is considered a defect
