Branch welds shall consist of the welds between the pipe & reinforcing element (if any). Nozzles & reinforcing element and the pipe & nozzle under the reinforcing element. Reinforcing element to be interpreted as pads, saddles, weldolets. sockolets etc. Seal welds of threaded joints shall be given the same examination as socket welds. Unless specifically stated, all materials shall be for "Non-IBR" service.

The Magnetic Particle & the Liquid Penetrant method of examination shall be in accordance with Section V of the
ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code. Article VII and VI respectively. The entire area of the accessible finished weld surface shall be examined. Selected root runs, subject to a maximum of 10%, before finished weld may also be examined, at the discretion of the engineer-in-charge.

a)
b)

Wherever MP I LP testing is specified, either MP or LP test may be used. But wherever only MP test is specified, MP method of examination may be used only if MP examination is impracticable in the field as concurred by TPIA. "Random 10%" of Liquid Penetrant I Magnetic Particle test shall mean testing, by applicable test, one weld for each ten welds or less made by the same welding procedure or operator or both. Similarly "Random 20%" shall mean testing by applicable test, one weld for each five welds or less made by the same welding procedure or operator or both. When Liquid Penetrant examination is specified, the surface shall be free of peened discontinuities. Abrasive blast cleaning shall be followed by light surface grinding prior to Liquid Penetrant examination. Inspection shall be performed in the welds excluding those for which radiography has been done. Girth weld, branch weld, attaclunent weld & socket weld of 3-1/2 Ni steel shall be Liquid Penetrant tested only when welded with austenitic material where MP test has been specified.

5.0 Radiography : a)

PROPANE/BUTANE/LPG IMPORT TERMINAL AT ENNORE (TAMILNADU) INDIANOIL PETRONAS PVT. LTD.

"Random 10% or 20% radiography" shall mean examining not less than one from each 10 welds or less in case of "Random 10% radiography" or one from each five welds or less in case of "Random 20% radiography" made by the same welding procedure or welder or both. Irrespective of percentage. no. of welds to be radiographed shall be minimum 1. However first two welds made by each welder shall also be radiographed in case of "Random radiography". Welds selected for examination shall not include flange welds and shall be radiographed for their entire length. However, where it is impossible or impracticable to examine the entire weld length of field welds for either random or 100% radiography and if the same impossibility is agreeable to TPIA, then a single 120 deg. exposure of the weld length may be given a Magnetic Particle test or Liquid Penetrant test. However in such cases for ferro-magnetic materials, only MP test shall be acceptable for classes higher than 600#.

b) c) 6.0

In-process examination shall not be substituted for any required radiographic examination. Number of radiographs per one circumferential weld shall be as per ASME Sec. V.

When radiography or other non destructive inspection is specified, acceptance criteria for repairs or defects shall be as follows:
a)

In case of 100% examination. any unacceptable weld shall be repaired and re-inspected.

b)

If required random examination reveals a defect requiring repair, then: b.1

b.2

Two additional examinations of same type shall be made of the same kind of item (if welded joint, then by the same welding procedure or operator or both). If the group of items examined as required by b.1 above is acceptable. the items requiring repair shall be repaired or replaced and reexamined as required and all items represented by this additional examination shall be accepted. If any of the items examined as required by b.I above reveals a defect requiring repair. two further comparable items shall be examined for each defective item found by examination. If all the items examined as required by b.3 are acceptable. the items requiring repair shall be repaired or replaced and reexamined as required, and all items represented by this further examination shall be accepted. Number of times repair welding could be done for the same weld before acceptance shall be as follows: Material base alloy Cu & Cu C.S. upto 300 # Others No. of times repair welding is allowed 2 or less 3 or less 2 or less

Hardness Test
a.

Hardness test for each weld (unless mentioned otherwise in NDT Table-l ) shall be in accordance with ASTM specification E1O, ASME B31.3 and as called for in NDT Table-I/PMS (Piping Material Specification), and shall be made after final heat treatment (wherever heat treatment is specified in welding specification). All welds which are given heat treatment shall be hardness tested. A minimum of 10% of welds of hot formed and hot bent materials in each heat treatment batch which are furnace heat treated and 100% of those which are locally heat treated, shall be hardness tested. The hardness limit applies to the weld and heat affected zone. Hardness tests of the heat affected zone shall be made at a point as near as practicable to the edge of the weld. One test per weld shall be performed. Hardness test where specifically called out in Table-l of NDT or in PMS, shall be carried out irrespective of thickness and to the extent (%age) as mentioned therein.

b.

c.

For C - 0.5 Mo steels, a minimum of 10% of welds shall be hardness tested. Following hardness values shall be maintained :

For fabricated fittings LP test shall be done on the final pass of welding only. in addition to visual examination. For mitres and fabricated reducers. LP I MP test shall be done on root pass in addition to radiography applicable to circumferential joint of respective piping class. For branch connections, LP/MP test shall be done on root pass and final pass. As per TAC requirements, 10% of the butt weld joints shall be radiographed, however, 50% of these butt weld joints shall be field weld joints. In addition to 100% radiography, butt weld joints for A16A and B16A classes shall be wet fluorescent magnetic particle tested. For lined specs, testing (MP/LP/Radiography etc.) shall be performed before lining.
