may be used.
7.2 WELD METAL EXAMINATION.

o
7.2.1 Prior to scanning of shear wave probes, all scanning areas shall be examined with 0 compression wave probe to
ensure freedom from laminar discontinuity, and change in thickness that may impair angle beam examination. Any
material flaws detected shall be considered and technique adjusted accordingly.
7.2.2 DAC curve shall be constructed for each angle probes to be used for AWS D1.1, Sect. 6 evaluation, side drilled hole
from Reference standard sensitivity block or IIW-V1 block shall be used with the reference level set to 50% to 75%
full screen height.
7.2.3 Transfer correction shall be constructed for each angle probes to be used, to compensate difference between
surface finish, contour, coating and acoustical attenuation characteristics, for AWS D1.1, Sect.6. Any surface
irregularities shall not be allowed for evaluation of weld.
7.2.4 Weld examination shall be as per the appended technique sheets, unless further investigation is deemed warranted
by the UT technicians.

7.2.5 Any restriction or limitation encountered that are not covered or dictated by a specific UT technique sheet
attachment shall be reported with a detailed technique sheet illustrating a scaled drawing and scanning pattern
used. Ranges utilized shall also be clearly detailed for each combination of angle probes and scanning pattern.
o
7.2.6 Scanning for longitudinal discontinuity shall be carried out with the angle probe at approximately 90 to the weld axis
from two directions where possible. Move the search unit laterally in a zigzag pattern with an interval of 10% within
20 dB isobars with scanning movement A/B.
Scanning for transverse discontinuity shall be carried out with the angle probe at approximately 15° to the weld axis
moving back and forward in a zigzag pattern with an interval of 10% within 20 dB isobars + scanning movement
pattern “D”. For SAW process or ground flush weld cap, scanning for transverse discontinuity may be carried out
directly over the cap with the angle probe aligned to the weld axis moving forward towards both directions i.e. 180°
apart with 45° probe.
7.2.7 Discontinuities shall be confirmed and position within the weld cross-section by establishing beam path length and
skip distance from a reference point (i.e. cap toe). Plotting of discontinuity may be ailed by comb type mimic / profile

status. Further investigation for identity and recording purposes shall be carried out with the beam boundary
intercept (i.e. 20 dB drop) or maximum amplitude technique or combination of both.
7.2.10 Indications shall be sized using those probes that receive the optimum response. As necessary, indications will be
plotted with more than one angle to confirm location and type of discontinuity.

and parent metal with indelible metal marker. A simple pictorial drawing representing the weld cross section indicating defect
orientation and depth will be sketched, along with brief instruction as appropriate, adjacent and arrowed to the defective weld
areas.

Acceptance Criteria

Appendix III
Acceptance Criteria
7.10.2 Level C Acceptance Criteria (as per API RP 2X)
The following applies concerning Level C acceptance criteria:

a. Level C represents experience based on fitness-for purpose criteria which are consistent with as-welded
surface profiles (fatigue curve X) in Figure 42– API RP 2X:2004 where structural redundancy and a fail-
safe design approach is used (as in typical template type offshore platforms) and a reasonable level of
notch toughness is provided for all parts of the welded joint.
b. These criteria are specifically tailored for examination of welds made from the outside only in tubular T, K,
and Y connections and for practical examination situations in which rejectable defects are subject to visual
confirmation during the weld removal and repair process.
c. Discontinuities are evaluated using a combination of beam boundary techniques and amplitude calibration
utilizing the transfer and distance amplitude corrections addressed in this recommended practice. The
reference level calibration for root reflectors is the 1/16-inch (1.6-millimeter) notches shown in the
reference standard (block) for Level C examination (Figure 46– API RP 2X, 2004). The reference level for
internal reflectors is the side of the 1/16-inch (1.6-millimeter) hole. Evaluation of a discontinuity is to be
based on the ultrasonic operator’s best determination of actual flaw dimensions, bearing in mind that
interior planar flaws which are poorly oriented with respect to the ultrasonic beam may return a smaller
echo than a surface (root) notch of the same size. Flaw size is to be given in terms of width and length as
illustrated in Figure 47 – API RP 2X: 2004. In addition, the reflector shall be classified as spherical,
cylindrical, or planar and its position within the weld cross section is accurately determined. Identification
as to type (such as, crack versus incomplete fusion) is not required.
d. All reflectors 6 decibels smaller than the reference level (that is, 50 percent DAC) may be disregarded
(DRL = disregard level). Reflectors above the DRL shall be further evaluated as described in the following
sections. The operator may elect to decrease the DRL based on the criticality of a particular component.
e. Isolated, random, spherical reflectors are acceptable, regardless of signal amplitude.
f. Clustered multiple reflectors with indications above the 50 percent DAC curve and two times the branch
thickness in length should be evaluated in terms of their encompassing width and length using the limits of
Figures 45 and 48– API RP 2X:2004.
g. Cylindrical or planar reflectors whose dimensions exceed the limits of Figures 45 and 48– API RP 2X:2004
(depending on location) are rejectable.
h. Internal reflectors near the fusion line of a weld shall be evaluated with various probe angles while making
an effort to obtain a beam path perpendicular to the fusion line.
i. Reflectors within the base metal of the main member (joint can) at welds shall be evaluated as described
in the following. In addition, any such reflector that exceeds the disregard level shall be reported to the
operator:
1. Individual reflectors exceeding the limits of Figure 45 – API RP 2X: 2004 are rejectable.
2. Accumulated reflectors exceeding 8 percent of the area under the weld in any 6-inch (150-millimeter)
or D/2length (whichever is less) are rejectable.

3. Rejectable base metal reflectors shall be reviewed by the operator prior to any excavation or attempted
repair. Consideration should be given to the risk of causing further problems (such as lamellar tearing)
with the additional thermal strain cycles such excavation and repair would entail.
j. Note that for welds made from one side only in tubular T, K, and Y connections, greatly relaxed criteria are
applied to the root area. Fatigue tests on tubular joints with gross root defects have shown that these do
not control failure as long as there is a sufficient weld area to keep the overall stresses from being
significantly affected. Not only are defects here less serious, but attempted repairs often creating a less
desirable condition.
k. Tighter acceptance criteria for all other weld areas still permit somewhat larger discontinuities than
traditional radiography- based codes—yet they are consistent with the proposed applications and do not
lead to any significant degradation in performance for class C welds. With appropriate overmatching of
weld tensile strength compared to base metal yield, static weld failure will not occur due to the minor loss
of area permitted.
i. A reasonable level of fracture toughness is provided by selecting base metal and qualifying welding
procedures to provide as-fabricated notch toughness in weld, parent material, and heat-affected zones
meeting the requirements of API Recommended Practices 2A-WSD or 2A-LRFD.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
(a) Twin crystal 0° probes are to be used on thickness less than 40mm.
(b) Sonatest probes or equivalent to be used up to 30mm beam path

(c) Weld scanning of T-K-Y connection shall be performed from the branch member surface. Choose of probe shall take
into account the slope of the fusion faces, preference given to the probe whose angle is nearest to being
perpendicular to the expected fusion face.
(d) Sensitivity calibration for testing of weld shall be:
basic sensitivity + distance amplitude correction + transfer correction = standard sensitivity
where;
basic sensitivity = SDH from IIW V1 or standard sensitivity block set to 75% FSH
distance amplitude correction(DAC) = distance amplitude correction curve off 1.5 mmØ sdh from IOW or
equivalent. Represent the attenuation loss throughout the range of sound
path.
Time base calibration for zero degree probe should be in range at least twice the material thickness and for angle
probe should be minimum 1 full skip range
(e) Transfer correction :

Correction for losses to accommodate surface difference and testing trough tight layer of paint not exceeding 10 mils
(0.25mm) in thickness. To determine transfer correction used two angle beam probes of the same type. One acting
as transmitter and the other as receiver with the test unit set to dual mode. Place the probe in tandem directed at
each other on the reference block at one skip distance and maximized the signal to 75 % . Note down the gain (dB)
and mark on the screen the peak of the maximized signal. Reposition the probe without altering the test unit
sensitivity to achieve peak signal at two skip distance repeat previous step and joint the two marks to obtain line R.
Than on the surface of the test component, carry out previous step at the same gain (dB) setting. Increase or
decrease the maximize signal peak as to bring it to line R. Note down the gain (dB) difference.
The difference in gain (dB) from the first step is the transfer correction and has to be added or subtracted to the
primary reference sensitivity level prior to scanning. The first skip distance has to be greater than four inches or other
wise the successive skip distance should be employed.

Appendix V

(f) The beam spread at the 20 dB limit will be determine for each probe by the use of IOW A5 block. This beam spread can
be used for angle probe when sizing defect by the “20 dB drop” method.
Plot 20 dB beam profile for 45 deg, 60 deg 70 deg probe. With 70 deg probe, a 20 dB beam spread is so wide and
difficult to construct as to be almost useless.
Place the probe on the block at 13 mm as above, and maximize the signal to 50 – 75% Full Screen Height.
Mark where the index point of probe coincide on the block. Move the probe forward until the signal drops to 1/10 screen
height (20 dB drop). Mark on the block where the index point of probes stands on the block. Move the probe backwards
until the signal maximizes and then drop down to 1/10 screen height. Mark index point of probe on the block.
Draw a vertical line on the block from the hole to the upper edge. Measure stand off of the three index point marks and
note the down.
Repeat the process using the 19 mm, 25 mm, and 32 mm as applicable. Now draw horizontal lines on a beam plotting
charts at depths of 13 mm, 19 mm, 25 mm, 32 mm as applicable. Transfer the stand off of the index point
recorded in the above procedure to relevant lines on the chart. Join the mark up.
The centre line represents the main energy of the beam and the other two marks represent the leading and trailing
edges of the beam. Draw in the parallel near zone which is equal to D 2/4 on the beam plotting chart. Where D =
effective Diameter of probe crystal. For 70 deg probe at 10 dB beam spread, instead of dropping the signal to 1/10
FSH, use the 3/10 screen height. For all probe movements, avoid angular rotation. Straight edge or ruler can be
used as a guide.
