Notes-
Co-related original material test certificate is acceptable. In absence of Co-related original MTC, sample per lot (Lot means all having same heat mark/material spec. requirement), shall be drawn
I
for chemical & physical tests and shall be tested in NPCIL approved lab which shall be witnessed by NPCIL.
A continuous white strip shall be painted on the major dimensions not extending over the machined surface and end preparation on each piece which has undergone non destructive examination.
II
III No repair by welding is allowed.
REMARK (A): HT of fittings will be carried out in HT furnace duly calibrated within one year & also by using calibrated thermo couples, Chart recorders calibrated within 6 months.
