    This document provides a radiographic interpretation table that lists weld defects and their acceptable size thresholds according to various welding codes such as API, ASME, and ISO. It defines defects like slag inclusions, lack of fusion, porosity, undercut and establishes the maximum permitted length, width, or depth depending on factors like material thickness, weld size, and end-use of the welded component or pipe. Acceptable defect sizes may vary between standards and whether the welding is for severe cyclic service lines or normal fluid transport applications. The table acts as a guide for inspectors to evaluate radiographs and determine if welds meet code requirements.
