    This document describes four levels of radiography that can be used for vessel inspection and certification. RT 1 requires full radiography of the complete vessel. RT 2 allows some spot radiography. RT 3 uses only spot radiography. RT 4 indicates only partial vessel inspection or no other inspection requirements were met. It also describes three categories for the PD-5500 pressure vessel code, with Category 1 requiring 100% non-destructive testing, Category 2 allowing limited spot testing of about 10% of welds, and Category 3 only requiring visual inspection but with material and thickness restrictions.

    Degree of Radiography

    Page 1 of 1

    Degree of Radiography
    Select the symbolic representation of the degree of radiography. Options include: RT 1 - When the complete vessel satisfies the full radiography requirements of UW-11(a) and when the spot radiography provisions of UW-11(a)(5)(b) have not been applied. RT 2 - When the complete vessel satisfies the full radiography requirements of UW-11(a)(5) and when the spot radiography provisions of UW-11(a)(5)(b) have been applied. RT 3 - When the complete vessel satisfies the spot radiography requirements of UW-11(b). RT 4 - When only part of the vessel has met the other category requirements, or when none of the other requirements are applied. PD-5500 Category Category 1: 100% non destructive testing (NDT) per section is required per 5.6.4.1. There are no restrictions for vessels built under this category. The NDT is either (generally) radiography, or ultrasonic testing. The code must be consulted. This is the strictest category. Category 2: Limited random spot NDT as required by section 5.6.4.2 is required. Generally about 10% of the welds must be must be examined by NDT (radiography or ultrasonic). Please read section 5.6.4.2 for full details. There are restrictions when employing this category. Only certain groups of materials may used (eg: Groups 1, 2 and 4). The maximum thickness of the main components must nut exceed 40 mm or 30 mm depending on the material group. It is essential that Table 3.4-1 be consulted when employing category 2. The code must be consulted in all matters pertaining to this category. Category 3: Only visual inspection of the weld is required. However, steels are restricted to C and CMn types and materials in group 8. The maximum thickness us restricted to 13 mm for C and CMn steels, and 25 mm for materials in group 8. The design stress is much lower (see 3.4.2.2 for details). This category is restricted to temperatures no lower than 0C. The code must be consulted in all matters pertaining to this category.
