8. T-270 EXAMINATION

8.1 RADIOGRAPHIC TECHNIQUE

A single-wall exposure technique shall be used for radiography whenever practical. When it is not
practical to use a single-wall technique, a double-wall shall be used .An adequate number of
exposures shall be made to demonstrate that the required coverage has been obtained.

8.1.1 T-271.1 Single Wall technique.

In the single wall technique, the radiation passes through only one wall of the weld (material), which is
viewed for acceptance on the radiograph.

8.1.2 T-271.2 Double- Wall Technique.

When it is not practical to use a single-wall technique, one of the following double-wall techniques
shall be used.

SICC-RT-01 REV-01 DATE: 05 03 16 Page 6-29

(a) Single- wall Viewing. For materials and for welds in components, a technique may be used in
which the radiation passes through two walls and only the weld (material) on the film-side wall is
viewed for acceptance on the radiograph. When complete coverage is required for circumferential
welds (materials), a minimum of three exposures taken 120 deg to each other shall be made.

(b) Double-wall viewing. For materials and for welds in components 3 in (89 mm) or less in
nominal outside diameter, a technique may be used in which the Radiation passes through two walls
and the weld (material) in both wall is viewed for acceptance on the same radiograph.

For double-wall viewing, only a source-side IQI shall be used. Care should Exercise to ensure that the
required geometrical unsharpness exceeded. If the geometric unsharpness requirement, cannot be
met, then Single- wall viewing shall be used

1. For welds, the radiation beam may be offset from the plane of the weld at an angle sufficient
to separate the images of the source- side and film-side portions of the weld so that there is no
overlap of the areas to be interpreted. When complete coverage is required, a minimum of two
exposures taken 90 deg to each other shall be made for each joint.

2. As an alternative, the weld may be radio graphed with the radiation beam positioned so that
images of both walls are superimposed. When complete coverage is required, a minimum of three
exposures taken at either 60 or 120 to each other shall be made for each joint.

3. Additional exposures shall be made if the required radiographic coverage cannot be obtained
using the minimum number of exposures indicated in (b) (1) or (b) (2). above.

8.2 T- 273 DIRECTION OF RADIATION

The direction of the central beam of radiation should be centered on the area of interest, whenever
practical.

8.3 T- 274 GEOMETRIC UNSHARPNESS

T- 274.1 Geometric unsharpness of the radiograph shall be determined in accordance with:

Ug = Fd / D

Where:

Ug = geometric unsharpness
F = Source Size: The maximum projected dimension of the radiating source (or effective Focal spot)
in the plane perpendicular to the distance D from the weld or object being radiographed
D = Distance from source of radiation to weld or object being radiographed.
d = distance from the source side of weld or object being radiographed to the film.
D. And d shall be determined at the approximate center of the area of interest

SICC-RT-01 REV-01 DATE: 05 03 16 Page 7-29

8.4 T- 274.2 GEOMETRIC UNSHARPNESS LIMITATIONS

Recommended maximum values for geometric unsharpness are as follows:

Material Thickness Mximum Unsharpness

In. (mm) In. (mm)
Under 2 (50) 0.020 (0.51)
2 through 3 (50-75) 0.030 (0.76)
Over 3 Through 4 (75-100) 0.040 (1.02)
Greater than 4 (100) 0.070 (1.78)

Note: The material thickness is the thickness on which the IQI.is based

8.5 T-275 LOCATION MARKERS

Location markers, (see Fig. T 275), which are to appear as radiographic images on the film, shall
place on the part, not on the exposure holder / cassette. Their locations shall be permanently marked
on the surface of the part being radiographed when permitted, or on a map, in a manner permitting
the area of interest on a radiograph to be accurately traceable to its location on the part, for the
required retention period of the radiograph. Evidence shall also be provided on the radiograph that the
required coverage of the region being examined has been obtained location markers shall be placed
as follows

8.5.1 T- 275.1 Single Wall Viewing

(a) Source Side Markers. Location markers shall be placed on the source side when
radiographing the following

1. Flat components or longitudinal joints in cylindrical or conical components

2. Curved or spherical components, whose concave side is toward the source and when the
source-to-material distance is less than the inside radius of the component

3. Curved or spherical components whose convex side is toward the source

(b) Film Side Markers

1. Location markers shall be placed on the film side when radiographing either curved or
spherical components whose concave side is toward the Source and when the source-to-material
distance is greater than the inside radius.

2. As an alternative to source-side placement in T-275.1(a)(1), location Markers may be placed

on the film side when the radiograph shows Coverage beyond the location markers to the extent
demonstrated by Fig. T-275, sketch (e), and when this alternate is documented in accordance with T-
291.

SICC-RT-01 REV-01 DATE: 05 03 16 Page 8-29

(c) Either Side Markers. Location markers may be placed on either the source side or film side
when radiographing either curved or spherical components whose concave side is toward the source
and the source-to-material distance equals the inside radius of the component.

8.5.2 T-275.2 Double-Wall Viewing.

For double-wall viewing, at least one location marker shall be placed adjacent to the weld (or on the
material in the area of interest) for each radiograph.

8.5.3 T-275.3 Mapping the Placement of Location Markers.

When inaccessibility or other limitations prevent the placement of markers as stipulated in T-275.1
and T-275.2, a dimensioned map of the actual marker placement shall accompany the radiographs to
show that full coverage has been obtained.

8.6 T-276 IQI SELECTION

8.6.1 T-276.1 Material. IQIs shall be selected from either the same alloy material group or grade as
identified in SE-1025, or SE-747, as applicable, or from an alloy material group or grade with less
radiation absorption than the material being radiographed.

8.6.2 T-276.2 Size. The designated hole IQI or essential wire shall be as specified in Table T-276. A
thinner or thicker hole-type IQI may be substituted for any section thickness listed in Table T-276,
provided an equivalent IQI sensitivity is maintained. See T-283.2.

(a) Welds with Reinforcements. The thickness on which the IQI is based is the nominal single-wall
thickness plus the estimated weld reinforcement not to exceed the maximum permitted by the
referencing Code Section. Backing rings or strips shall not be considered as part of the thickness in
IQI election. The actual measurement of the weld reinforcement is not required.

(b Welds without Reinforcements. The thickness on which the IQI is based is the nominal single-wall
thickness. Backing rings or strips shall not be considered as part of the weld thickness in IQI
selection.

8.6.3 T-276.3 Welds Joining Dissimilar Materials or Welds with Dissimilar

Filler Metal. When the weld metal is of an alloy group or grade that has a radiation attenuation that
differs from the base material, the IQI material selection shall be based on the weld metal and be in
accordance with T-276.1. When the density limits of T-282.2 cannot be met with one IQI, and the
exceptional density area(s) is at the interface of the weld metal and the base metal, the material
selection for the additional IQIs shall be based on the base material and be in accordance with T-
276.1.

(a) Source-Side IQI(s). The IQI(s) shall be placed on the source side of the part being examined,
except for the condition described in T-77.1(b). When, due to part or weld configuration or size, it is
not practical to place the IQI(s) on the part or weld, the IQI(s) may be placed on a separate block.
Separate blocks shall be made of the same or radiographically similar materials (as defined in SE-
1025) and may be used to facilitate IQI positioning. There is no restriction on the separate block
thickness, provided the IQI/area-of-interest density tolerance requirements of T-282.2 are met.

1. The IQI on the source side of the separate block shall be placed no closer to the film than the
source side of the part being radiographed.

2. The separate block shall be placed as close as possible to the part being radiographed.

3. When hole-type IQIs are used, the block dimensions shall exceed the IQI dimensions such
that the outline of at least three sides of the IQI image shall be visible on the radiograph.

(b) Film-Side IQI(S). Where inaccessibility prevents hand placing the IQI(s) on the source side,
the IQI(s) shall be placed on the film side in contact with the part being examined. A lead letter F
shall be placed adjacent to or on the IQI(s), but shall not mask the essential hole where hole IQIs are
used.

radiographed span and one in the approximate center of the span, are required.

8. When an array of components in a circle is radiographed, at least one IQI shall show on each
component image.

9. In order to maintain the continuity of records involving subsequent exposures, all radiographs
exhibiting IQIs that qualify the techniques permitted in accordance with (1) through (7) above shall be
retained.

8.7.3 T-277.3 Shims Under Hole-Type IQIs.

For welds, a shim of material radiographically similar to the weld metal shall be placed between the
part and the IQI, if needed, so that the radiographic density throughout the area of interest is no more
than minus 15% from (lighter than) the radiographic density through the designated IQI adjacent to
the essential hole.

SICC-RT-01 REV-01 DATE: 05 03 16 Page 13-29

The shim dimensions shall exceed the IQI dimensions such that the outline of at least three sides of

9. T-280 EVALUATION

9.1 QUALITY OF RADIOGRAPHS

All radiographs shall be free from mechanical, chemical, or other blemishes to the extent that they do
not mask and are not confused with the image of any discontinuity in the area of interest of the object
being radiographed, such blemishes include, but are not limited to:

(a) Fogging;
(b) Processing defects such as streaks, watermarks, or chemical stains;
(c) Scratches, finger marks, crimps, dirtiness, static marks, smudges, or tears;
(d) False indications due to defective screens.

9.2.1 T-282.1 Density Limitations.

The transmitted film density through the radiographic image of the body of The designated hole-type
IQI adjacent to the essential hole or adjacent to the essential wire of a wire-type IQI and the area of
interest shall be 1.8 minimum for single film viewing for radiographs made with an X-ray source and
2.0 minimum for radiographs made with a gamma ray source. For composite viewing of multiple film
exposures, each film of the composite set shall have a minimum density of 1.3. The maximum density
shall be 4.0 for either single or composite viewing. A tolerance of 0.05 in density is allowed for
variations between densitometer readings.

9.3 T-283 IQI SENSITIVITY

9.3.1 T-283.1 Required Sensitivity.

Radiography shall be performed with a technique of sufficient sensitivity to display the designated
hole-type IQI image and the essential hole, or the essential wire of a wire-type IQI. The radiographs
shall also display the IQI identifying numbers and letters. If the designated hole-type IQI image and
essential hole, or essential wire of a wire-type IQI, do not show on any film in a multiple film
technique, but do show in composite film viewing, interpretation shall be permitted only by composite
film viewing.

9.3.2 T-283.2 Equivalent Hole-Type IQI Sensitivity.

A thinner or thicker hole-type IQI than the designated IQI may be substituted, provided an equivalent
or better IQI sensitivity, as listed in Table T-283, is achieved and all other requirements for
radiography are met. Equivalent IQI sensitivity is shown in any row of Table T-283 which contains the
designated IQI and hole. Better IQI sensitivity is shown in any row of Table T-283 which is above the
equivalent sensitivity row. If the designated IQI and hole are not represented in the table, the next
thinner IQI row from Table T-283 may be used to establish equivalent IQI sensitivity.

9.5 ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA

9.5.1 ASME SECTION VIII DIV.1 (UW-51)

(1) any indication characterized as a crack or zone of incomplete fusion or Penetration;

(2) any other elongated indication on the radiograph which has length greater than:
a. 14 in. (6 mm) for t up to 34 in. (19 mm)
b. 13t for t from 34 in. (19 mm) to 214 in. (57 mm)
c. 34 in. (19 mm) for t over 214 in. (57 mm)
Where:
t = the thickness of the weld excluding any allowable reinforcement. For a butt weld joining two
members having different thicknesses at the weld, t is the thinner of these two thicknesses. If a full
penetration weld includes a fillet weld, the thickness of the throat of the fillet shall be included in t.
(3) Any group of aligned indications that have an aggregate length greater than t in a length of 12t,
except when the distance between the successive imperfections exceeds 6L where L is the length of
the longest imperfection in the group;
(4) Rounded indications in excess of that specified by the acceptance standards given in
Appendix 4 of ASME SECTION VIII DIV.1. (IDENTICAL TO THE APPENDIX I OF THIS
PROCEDURE)

9.5.2 ASME SECTION VIII DIV.1 (UW-52) SPOT EXAMINATION OF WELDED JOINTS

(a) Spot radiography. Butt welded joints which are to be spot radiographed shall be examined
locally as provided herein.
(b) Minimum Extent of Spot Radiographic Examination
1. One spot shall be examined on each vessel for each 50 ft. (15 m) increment of weld or fraction
thereof for which a joint efficiency from column (b) of Table UW- 12 is selected. However, for identical
vessels or parts, each with less than 50 ft. (15 m) of weld for which a joint efficiency from column (b)
of Table UW-12 is selected, 50 ft. (15 m) increments of weld may be represented by one spot
examination
2. For each increment of weld to be examined, a sufficient number of spot radiographs shall be to
examine the welding of each welder or welding operator. Under conditions where two or more welders
or welding operators make weld layers in a joint, or the two sides of a double-welded butt joint, one
spot may represent the work of all welders or welding operators
3. Each spot examination shall be made as soon as practicable after completion of the increment
of weld to be examined. The location of the spot shall be close by the Inspector after completion of the
increment of welding to be examined, except that when the Inspector has been notified in advance
and cannot be present or otherwise make the selection, the Manufacturer may exercise his own
judgment in selecting the spots
4. Radiographs required at specific locations to satisfy the rules of other paragraphs, such as
UW-9 (d), UW-11 (a)(5)(b), and UW -14(b), shall not be used to satisfy the requirements for spot
radiography

(c) Standards for Spot Radiographic Examination. Spot examination by radiography shall be made in
accordance with the technique prescribed in UW-51 (a), the minimum length of spot radiograph shall

SICC-RT-01 REV-01 DATE: 05 03 16 Page 16-29

be 6 in. Spot radiographs may be retained or be discarded by the manufacturer after acceptance of
the vessel by the Inspector. The acceptability of welds examined by spot radiography shall be judged
by the following standards.

1. Welds in which indications are characterized as cracks or zones of incomplete fusion or

penetration shall be unacceptable.
2. Welds having indications characterized as slag inclusions or cavities are unacceptable when
the indication length exceeds 23t, where t is defined as shown in UW-51(b) (2) for all thicknesses,
indications less than 14 in.(6mm) are acceptable, and indications greater than 34 in. (19 mm) are
unacceptable. Multiple aligned indications meeting these acceptance criteria are acceptable when the
sum of their longest dimensions indications does not exceed t within a length of 6t (or proportionally
for radiographs shorter than 6t), and when the longest length L for each indication is separated by a
distance not less than 3L from adjacent indications.
3. Rounded indications are not a factor in the acceptability of welds not required to be fully
radiographed.
(d) Evaluation and Retests

1. When a spot, radiographed as required in (b)(1) or (b)(2) above, is acceptable in accordance

with (c)(1) and (c)(2) above, the entire weld increment represented by this radiograph is acceptable
2. When a spot, radiographed as required in (b)(1) or (b)(2) above, has been examined and the
radiograph discloses welding with does not comply with the minimum quality requirements of (c)(1) or
(c)(2) above, two additional spots shall be radiographically examined in the same weld increment at
locations away from the original spot. The locations of the additional spots shall be determined by the
Inspector or fabricator as provided for the original spot examination in (b)(3) above
a. if the two additional spots examined show welding which meets the minimum quality
requirements of (c) (1) and (c) (2) above, the entire weld increment represented by the
three radiographs are removed and the area repaired by welding. The weld repaired area
shall be radiographically examined in accordance with the foregoing requirements of UW-
52
b. If either of the two additional spots examined shows welding which does not comply with
the minimum quality requirements of (c) (1) or (c) (2) above, the entire increment of weld
represented shall be rejected. The entire rejected weld shall be removed and the joint
shall be rewelded or, at the fabricator`s option, the entire increment of weld represented
shall be completely radiographed and only defects need be corrected.
c. Repair welding shall be performed using a qualified procedure and in a manner
acceptable to the Inspector. The rewelded joint, or the weld repaired areas, shall be spot
radiographically examined at one location in accordance with the foregoing requirements
of UW-52

9.5.3 ASME SECTION I PW-51 RADIOGRAPHIC EXAMINATION, standards OF ACCEPTABILITY

IN ACCORDANCE WITH ASME SECC I POWER BOILERS

9.5.3.1 PW-51.1 When the radiographic examination method is used for a weld requiring volumetric
examination by PW-11, the weld shall be examined throughout its entire length by the X-ray or
gamma-ray method in accordance with Article 2 of Section V. The requirements of T-274 are to be

used as a guide but not for the rejection of radiographs unless the geometrical unsharpness exceeds
0.07 in. (1.8 mm).

9.5.3.2 PW-51.2 A single-welded circumferential butt joint with backing strip may be radiographed
without removing the backing strip, provided it is not to be removed subsequently and provided the
image of the backing strip does not interfere with the interpretation of the resultant radiographs.

9.5.3.3 PW-51.3 Indications shown on the radiographs of welds and characterized as imperfections
are unacceptable under the following conditions, and shall be repaired as provided in PW-40 and the
repair radiographed to PW-51:

NOTES (FROM ASME B31.3):

1) Criteria given are for required examination. More stringent criteria may be specified in the engineering design. See
also paras. 341.5 and 341.5.3.
2) Branch connection weld includes pressure containing welds in branches and fabricated laps.
3) Longitudinal groove weld includes straight and spiral (helical) seam. Criteria are not intended to apply to welds
made in accordance with a standard listed in Table A-1 or Table 326.1. Alternative Leak Test requires examination
of these welds; see para. 345.9.
4) Fillet weld includes socket and seal welds, and attachment welds for slip-on flanges, branch reinforcement, and
supports.
5) These imperfections are evaluated only for welds 5 mm (316 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. T w is the nominal wall thickness of the thinner of
two components joined by a butt weld.
7) For circumferential groove welded joints in pipe, tube, and headers made entirely without the addition of filler metal,
external concavity shall not exceed the lesser of 1 mm (132 in.) or 10% of the joint nominal thickness. The contour
of the concavity shall blend smoothly with the base metal. The total joint thickness, including any reinforcement,
shall not be less than the minimum wall thickness, tm.
8) For groove welds, height is the lesser of the measurements made from the surfaces of the adjacent components;
both reinforcement and internal protrusion are permitted in a weld. For fillet welds, height is measured from the
theoretical throat, Fig. 328.5.2A; internal protrusion does not apply.
9) For welds in aluminum alloy only, internal protrusion shall not exceed the following values:
(a) 1.5 mm (116 in.) for thickness 2 mm (564 in.)
(b) 2.5 mm (332 in.) for thickness > 2 mm and 6 mm (14 in.)
For external reinforcement and for greater thicknesses, see the tabulation for symbol L.

3. Any group of slag inclusions in line that have an aggregate length greater than t in a length of
12t, except when the distance between the successive imperfections exceeds 6L where L is the
length of the longest imperfection in the group

(b) Rounded Indications

1. The maximum permissible dimension for rounded indications shall be 20% of t or 18 in. (3
mm), whichever is smaller.
2. For welds in material less than 18 in. (3 mm) in thickness, the maximum number of acceptable
rounded indications shall not exceed 12 in a 6 in. (150 mm) length of weld. A proportionately fewer
number of rounded Indications shall be permitted in welds less than 6 in. (150 mm) in length.
3. For welds in material 18 in. (3 mm) or greater in thickness, the charts in Appendix I represent
the maximum acceptable types of rounded indications illustrated in typically clustered, assorted, and
randomly dispersed configurations. Rounded indications less than 132 in. (0.8 mm) in maximum
diameter shall not be considered in the radiographic acceptance tests of welders and welding
operators in these ranges of material thicknesses.
