    Personnel are required to annually complete a vision test to demonstrate the ability to perform direct visual inspections within 6 to 24 inches of surfaces at over 30 degrees. Acoustic emission testing can be used to evaluate and monitor existing cracks with minimal surface preparation up to 900 degrees Fahrenheit due to its sensitivity to shallow cracks. Carbon equivalency values below 0.35 do not require preheating, between 0.35 to 0.55 require preheating, and over 0.55 require both preheating and post-weld heat treatment.

    Visual Inspection
    Personnel are required to demonstrate annually completion of a J-1 Jaeger type eye
    vision test.
    Direct visual examination requires access to permit the eye to be within 6 inch to 24
    inch of the surface, at an angle not less than 30 degrees
    Optical aid 100 foot candles (1000 lux)
    One of the most popular indicators is the pie gauge. It consists of eight low carbon
    steel segments, brazed together to form an octagonal plate that is copper plated on
    one side to hide the joint
    ACFM

    ACFM is used for the evaluation and monitoring of existing cracks

    It requires minimal surface preparation and can be used at elevated


    temperatures up to 900 F. With its increased sensitivity to shallow cracks

    Iridium 192 0.25 inch to 3.0 inch


    Cobalt 60 1.5 to 7.0 inch
    CE

    CE less than 0.35 require no pre heat


    CE of 0.35 to 0.55 require pre heat
    CE greater than 0.55 - both preheat & PWHT
