The base metal size and material is specified, and the weld metal is built up in

layers to the required height or number of passes to assure that the top surface has no
dilution with the base metal. The welds are deposited in the flat position. After welding, the
top surface is machined or ground smooth to remove all foreign matter. A sample is taken

weld that is to be radiographed (X-rayed). The specification may also call for the test plate
to be preheated to a certain temperature before the first pass, and also specify an
interpass temperature. This means that the test plate must be allowed to cool to a certain
temperature range before the next pass is applied.

After the plate is completely welded, the test plate is prepared for radiographic

examination by machining off the backing strip from the root (bottom) of the weld, and also
