RT Acceptance Criteria All Code

The document outlines acceptance criteria for various welding discontinuities across multiple codes including ASME, API, and AWS. It specifies the acceptable limits for defects such as cracks, lack of penetration, and porosity in different applications like pressure vessels, storage tanks, and piping systems. Each criterion is detailed with specific measurements and conditions for acceptance based on the relevant standards.
