*Other materials can be used as per the qualified and approved procedure.
T-233.1 STANDARD IQI DESIGN
IQI for welds shall be wire type.
T-234 FACILITIES FOR VIEWING OF RADIOGRAPHS
Add the following:
Densitometers shall be used to measure the density of the film. The densitometer shall
be calibrated in accordance with ASTM SE-1079.
Radiographic viewers shall meet the minimum requirements set forth in ISO 5580.
T-271 RADIOGRAPHIC TECHNIQUE
When using more than one film, there shall be a minimum 20 mm overlap of adjacent
film coverage.
Radiographs of repair areas shall overlap onto the original weld at either end by a
minimum of 50 mm
T-272 RADIATION ENERGY
- However, X-Ray
shall be used in radiography of welds in prefabrication / workshops and pipelines field
welding. However, using of Gamma Ray shall be supported by proper technical
justification and written approval from QP.
T-274.2 GEOMETRIC UNSHARPNESS LIMITATIONS
Geometric unsharpness shall not exceed those limits given in the following table:
Radiation Source Unsharpness (mm)
X-Ray 0.2
Gamma Ray 0.4
