Acceptance criteria
Scope
This procedure details methods for all Automated Ultrasonic Weld Examination (via the
APPLUS RTD Rotoscan System) of ferrous butt welds. The Rotoscan is an automated
ultrasonic inspection system for pipeline girth welds, based upon the Pulse Echo Method,
enhanced with mapping images and Time of Flight Diffraction.
The weld is divided into a number of depth zones, which are each inspected by one of an
array of probes. The probes are arranged such that the entire weld is examined from both
sides in a single circumferential scan. The ultrasonic information is transferred to a computer
for data presentation and analysis.

General Procedure
Calibration
7.1 General
The ultrasonic equipment shall be electronically calibrated at least once per 12-month period
(1 week) in accordance with the valid version of Applus RTD procedure CP 31105 (Conv.)
or CP 31111 (PA).
7.2 Setting of Inspection Gates

7.2.1 Pulse-Echo and Tandem channels
With each transducer positioned for the peak signal response from the calibration reflector,
the detection gates are to be set.
The gate shall start at least 2mm, and up to 8mm (allowance for the width of heat affected
zone) before the theoretical weld bevel preparation.
The gate ends shall be at least 1mm after the theoretical weld centreline.
All gates will be programmed to record amplitude and/or transit distance information.
The gate length of the transit distance in the root channel will be extended to enable root
penetration recognition.
7.2.2 Mapping Channels

The mapping gate shall start at least 2mm, and up to 8mm (allowance for width of heat
affected zone) before the theoretical weld bevel preparation.
The gate length will be extended to enable cap reinforcement registration or to establish
overtrace from adjacent mapping zones.
The mapping gates in the root will be set identical to the pulse echo transit distance channels
to enable the recognition of the root penetration.
7.2.3 ToFD Channel

The ToFD gate should start at an appropriate distance before the arrival of the lateral wave
(ca. 2mm) and should extend up to the back-wall echo and or mode converted, to achieve full
cover of the wall thickness.
Note:
The gate settings may be altered if geometry indications dictate.
7.2.4 Coupling Channels

For Conventional Set up all PE probes, with exception of ToFD and Transverse probes, shall be
used for transmission US/DS coupling control
For PA set up the number of coupling channels shall be seven (7) i.e. three (3) on each side

General Procedure
7.3 Sensitivity Settings

The equipment sensitivity (echo amplitude) for all inspection channels should be set at 80%
Full Screen Height.
The calibration of the inner and outer surface breaking zones is from the relevant notch and
all other zones from a FBH.
The sensitivity setting for mapping in the volume is on a 1.5mm FBH at 80% FSH + 14 dB but
should not be so great as to cause interfering electrical or geometric noise that could be
misinterpreted.
The sensitivity setting for mapping in the root, as a minimum, is equal to the related pulse
echo channels, increased with additional 14 dB to ensure proper detection but should not be
so great as to cause interfering electrical or geometric noise that could be misinterpreted.
The lateral wave (RF signal) of the TOFD channel sensitivity is set between 40% and 80% FSH.
The probe distance for TOFD should be calculated at 2/3 of the wall thickness (nominal beam
angle) 10mm.
The sensitivity for the coupling channels is established by setting the amplitude of the signal
from the transmitting probe to the receiving probe to 80%FSH added with a nominal 10 dB
gain and 80% FSH added with a nominal 4dB for BWE.
7.4 Scanning Preparation & Surface Condition

Spiral welds or long seams have to be ground flush over the scanning area.
The scanning area shall be free of weld spatter and other irregularities, which may interfere
with the inspection.
Adjacent to one weld side, prior to welding, over the complete circumference at a fixed
distance from the nose of the weld preparation, a scribe line shall be available for the guide
band position adjustment.
The client is responsible for applying the scribeline and the lead operator is responsible for the
acceptance of the applied scribeline.

General Procedure
Acoustic Coupling Fluid

Water shall be used as acoustic coupling fluid, to be able to test welds in the range from 0C
to over lukewarm. If temperatures lower than 0C are experienced coupling will be mixed with
antifreeze and recycled.
The coupling is supplied between the probe contact surface and the pipe via supply channels
incorporated in the probe housing.
To enable good acoustical contact between the ultrasonic probes and the pipe surface,
conditions as mentioned in Section 7.4 apply.
Examination
9.1 Calibration check

During the first number of welds a calibration scan shall be made before and after inspection
of each weld. If agreed with client, the frequency of verification scans may be reduced to a
minimum of one scan for each number of welds. This will be detailed in the specific
procedure.
Re-calibration shall be carried out if any of the following exist:
The calibration of an inspection function differs more than -2 or +2dB from the previous
calibration;
The gate settings need to be adjusted with more than +/- 1.0mm with the previous
calibration;
After a weld repair;
In case the calibration differs from the initial setting, outside the given tolerances, the
applicable probe(s) and coupling shall be checked.
If the settings have to be changed to achieve a good calibration, the welds before this
calibration up to the previous calibration will be re-evaluated taking the differences in the gain
and/or gate adjustment into account.
Re-scanning shall be carried out from last valid calibration:
After a equipment breakdown
If hardware changes have to be made to scanner to achieve a valid calibration
If above is applicable, the system shall not be used until 5 acceptable calibration have been
performed to confirm acceptable stability.
The result of each calibration scan shall be printed or converted to pdf format and stored on
hard disc.

General Procedure
9.2 Step by Step Description of a Rotoscan Examination

The UT-system is already calibrated and a calibration scan with a record has been made.
a. Adjust guiding band on the pipe to a distance of 150mm from the marks (scribe-line,
which is 40mm from the weld centre-line) and parallel to the weld. The accuracy of the
band setting should be 1mm.
b. Mark a 0 datum point on the top of the pipe at the 12 oclock position.
c. Attach the scanner to the band.

d. Switch on the water coupling supply.
e. Locate the scanner over the top of the pipe and make sure that all probes are past the
zero point and are in proper contact with the pipe surface.
f. Switch on the system and automatically the weld will be scanned in a clockwise direction.
g. Systems will switch off automatically after a full scan with an overlap minimum of 5cm.
h. Coupling supply will be switched off as well. Check the encoder position of an indication
at the start of the scan and confirm the position of that same indication in the overlap,
difference in position allowed is 10mm.
i. Check the inspection results on defect indications and proper coupling. Use the transit
distance recording, mapping and images for validation of defect indications within the
root area and proper alignment of the guiding band.
j. In case of lack of coupling a second scan will be necessary.
Remove the scanner from the band and attach it to the calibration block.
9.3 Operational checks

Operational checks shall be performed according to the specific procedure. The execution of
and the results of the operational checks shall be recorded in the system log book.
The following operational checks shall be performed for every weld inspected:
Reference line shall be within required tolerance and clearly marked around the pipe
circumference.
The scanning surface shall be free of weld spatter and other irregularities that may
interfere with the movement of transducers.
Physical damage and loose connections in the band. Band position shall be within a
tolerance of maximum 1.0mm.
The pipe surface temperature shall be within the required tolerance specified in the
Specific Procedure.

General Procedure
Once daily or at least once per shift, check:

the scanner for damage and loose connections;
calibration block for damage and scanning tracks;
The bevel prepared at the bevelling station shall be of the specific weld bevel geometry,
dimensions and tolerances shown on the drawings of the calibration block in use.
Transducers shall not be rocking in the scanner and shall be in firm contact with the
scanning surface. The transducers shall be firmly screwed onto the wedges. The
transducer wear faces (wedges) shall be checked for scores which may cause local loss of
contact.
The transducer stand-off distance shall be as recorded in the set-up sheet within
0.5mm.
The transducer case height and the difference between the protrusions of carbide tips shall
be as recorded in the setup sheet within 0.2mm.
The recording system shall clearly indicate the location of imperfections relative to the
12 oclock position of the weld, with a 1% accuracy or 10mm, whichever is greater.
10
Interpretation of results
10.1 General
With the transit distance measurements and with the information from the Mapping and ToFD
channels, visible on the result presentation, indications shall be judged whether they are from
the weld geometry or defects.
The coupling channels will be checked for coupling loss. Coupling loss will be registered when
the through transmission signal drops below 10% FSH as long as this is above noise level. In
case the coupling loss in one of the channels is longer than the shortest allowable defect
length, a rescan shall be carried out.
In case the cause of the coupling loss is due to the surface condition (e.g. grinding) the
surface condition shall be improved (e.g. smoothing) and the weld shall be re-scanned. If this
condition appears again then the client shall be informed and another available and suitable
certified method of inspection (e.g. Manual UT, Radiographic Examination) shall be used.
10.2 Inspection result

The inspection result should be evaluated and/or reported as follows;
All indications in the pulse echo channels should be evaluated which exceed the threshold
level mentioned in the acceptance criteria.
Defect length in the pulse echo channels shall be measured at the Go Nogo level as
mentioned in the acceptance criteria.
Linear elongated indications in the pulse echo channels with spacing less than the length
of the smallest indication shall be evaluated as one continuous defect.
The interpretation sequence to be followed is visualized in Attachment 2 and 3 for the

Decision Flow Chart for WMS and ECA.

Examination of repairs
Repaired areas shall be inspected with the Rotoscan system that originally detected the
imperfection. This inspection will demonstrate that the original imperfection is removed and
that no new imperfections are introduced to the weld.
The results from the ToFD inspection supplemented with the Mapping image will be used to
interpret the repaired area.
Manual UT will be used in addition to the Rotoscan inspection in accordance with approved
manual UT procedures.
If the repair requires a cut-out re-examination will be conducted using the Rotoscan
equipment set-up for the bevel defined in the qualified project welding procedure.
14
Storage of data
The raw data of each inspected weld including the parameter settings will be stored on the
main hard drive (C-Drive). In addition, a back-up will be made on a second hard drive
(Removable D Drive)
The Date and Time function will be used to ensure that all welds scanned are accounted for.
By selecting this function the date and time of each scan made becomes part of the file name,
removing the chance of overwriting any file.
Welds will be stored in daily directories, which will be created at 24:00 hrs each day.
Operators are responsible for the daily directory on the main hard drive and shall ensure that
all welds are present and readable. Each shift will store scans and calibrations in a windows
folder of that date e.g. DD-MM-YYYY
All calibration and weld inspection results will be printed in a compressed black-white image of
the entire weld circumference after acceptable scan is completed.
After completion of the pipeline project, all data (NDT, welds, repairs and calibrations) will be
stored on a digital medium and presented.
The official record of inspection will be the Rotoscan Site Report and will bear the original
signature of the AUT Rotoscan Operator.

Calibration procedure for Electromagnetic Yoke
CP 31203
Verification & Testing Procedure for Magnetic Particle suspensions
2.3 Technique and materials

The ferromagnetic particles used as an examination medium, shall be either wet or dry and
shall be non-fluorescent. Yoke technique shall be used; the type of current shall be Alternating
Current (AC).
2.4 Surface preparation

Prior to magnetic particle examination, the surface to be examined and all adjacent areas
within at least 25 mm shall be dry and free of all dirt, grease, scale, welding flux and spatter,
oil or other extraneous matter that could interfere with the examination.
Cleaning may be accomplished using power-brush, detergents, organic solvents, de-scaling
solutions, paint removers, vapour degreasing, sand or grit blasting, or ultrasonic cleaning
methods.
2.5 Surface temperature

The surface temperature of the part to be examined shall be > 5C t 50C (lukewarm) for
the wet method and 230C for the dry particle method.
2.6 Lighting
The light intensity at the surface to be examined shall be 500 Lux. For example the intensity
of 500 Lux. can be achieved with a 60 Watt bulb at a distance of 25 cm.

2.7 Contrast paint

If with the dry method the contrast between the surface and the test ink is too low, a thin
layer of contrast paint must be applied on the surface. Only contrast paint submitted by
ApplusRTD may be used.
Equipment and Materials
3.1 Equipment
Alternating Current (AC) Yoke magnet shall be used.
3.2 Examination medium

The ferromagnetic particles used as an examination medium, shall be either wet or dry and
shall be non-fluorescent. The ferromagnetic particles used for the examination shall meet the
following requirements:
The colour of the particles shall provide adequate contrast with the surface being examined.
The test medium shall be applied at blowing it over the surface. The blowing force shall be so,
that it does not disturb or remove weakly formed indications.
3.3 Black particles (wet method)

The particles shall be suspended in a suitable liquid medium. The concentration of the
magnetic particles is normally checked by the use of a Sutherland Flask. A 100 ml portion of
the test-medium is taken and allowed to settle for 30 minutes.
The volume settling out at the bottom of the tube is indicative of the particle concentration.
The recommended concentration from a 100 ml sample is from 1,2 to 2,4 ml, in accordance
with Applus RTD in-house procedure CP-31203, latest revision.
The temperature of the wet particle suspension and the surface of the part shall not exceed
50C (lukewarm).
3.4 Powder particles (dry method)

The dry powder ferromagnetic particles for repair grooves and/or hot areas shall be used at a
surface temperature <230C.
Magnaflux No. 8A red to be used till 175C

Magnaflux No. 3A black to be used till 230C
3.5 Magnetising field adequacy

When it is necessary to verify the adequacy or direction of the magnetising field, a Berthold
indicator or Burmah Castrol Strip shall be used by positioning the indicator on the surface to
be examined. When using this indicator, a suitable flux or field strength is indicated when a
clearly defined line of magnetic particles forms across the copper face of the indicator when
the magnetic particles are applied simultaneously with the magnetising force.
When a clearly defined line of particles is not formed, or is not formed in the desired direction,
the magnetising technique shall be changed or adjusted.

3.6 Calibration of equipment

Each alternating current electromagnetic yoke shall have a lifting power of at least 5kg at the
maximum pole spacing that will be used.
Each alternating current electromagnetic yoke shall be calibrated at least once every 6 months
according the latest revision of calibration procedure CP-31201, or whenever the equipment
has been subjected to major electric repair, periodic overhaul, or damage.
The lifting power of the yoke in use shall be checked at least once a day.
Examination
4.1 Method of examination

The test medium shall be applied at either flowing or spraying it over the surface. The
spraying force shall be so, that it does not disturb or remove weakly formed indications.
Examination shall be done by the continuous method that is: the magnetising current remains
on, while the examination medium is being applied and while excess of the examination
medium is being removed.
4.2 Direction of magnetisation

At least two separate examinations shall be performed on each area. During the second
examination, the lines of magnetic flux shall be approximately perpendicular to those used
during the first examination, see figure 1.
Figure 1 shows the positions of the Yoke.
4.3 Examination coverage

All examination shall be conducted with sufficient overlap to assure 100% coverage at the
required sensitivity.

Evaluation and Acceptance Standard
5.1 Evaluation of indications

All indications are not necessarily imperfections however, since excessive surface roughness,
magnetic permeability variations (such as at the edge of heat affected zones), etc. may
produce false indications.
Any questionable or doubtful indications shall be re-examined to determine whether or not
they are relevant.
All indications with dimensions 1,5 mm have to be considered relevant.
A linear indication is an indication, of which the length is larger than 3 times the width.
A non-linear (rounded) indication is an indication of circular- and/or elliptical shape with a
length equal to or less than 3 times its width.
Cluster indications; three or more relevant rounded indications in a line separated by
1,5mm or less, measured from edge to edge.
5.2 Acceptance standards

Acceptance criteria according to Table D3, from DNV Submarine Pipeline Systems OS F101 2010.

3.4 Couplant
Water based couplant shall be used. The same couplant shall be used for both calibration and
examination.
Calibration
4.1 Sweep Range

A step wedge block , have to be used for the sweep range calibration.
The minimum sweep range has to be set at 2.5 x longest surface skip distance.
4.2 Sensitivity setting

The sensitivity setting for lamination check is 2nd back wall echo of pipe under examination at
80% FSH.
4.3 Calibration control

A calibration control has to be executed:
when a part of the examination system has been changed,
at the end of examination,
After every 4 hours of examination.
When examination personnel are changed.
When there is any doubt concerning proper functioning of the equipment
Examination
5.1 Scanning
The scanning of pipe ends after Weld cut-out has to be executed to find possible present reflectors.
Present reflectors have to be reported.
All laminations what can restrict the welding examination process shall be reported.
This examination has to be executed before welding or prior to its automated ultrasonic testing.
5.2 Sensitivity of examination

During scanning, the sensitivity shall be increased by at least 6 dB.
Evaluation shall be performed at normal sensitivity.

Evaluation and recording
6.1 Evaluation
All reflectors, with an echo height larger than 50% DAC, shall be investigated to the extent that it
can be evaluated in terms of acceptance standard.
The length of reflectors found, shall be measured with the amplitude
half-value method, whereby the amplitude has been decreased with
50% DAC or 50% of the maximum amplitude, the smallest value is valid.
discontinuities found to be shorter than 5 mm shall be considered as "not determined with
sufficient accuracy".
6.2 Acceptance criteria

No laminations or segregations shall be present during MUT lamination Testing on pipe ends.
