REINFORCEMENT UNDERCUT (€) UNACCEPTABLE GROOVE WELD PROFILES IN BUTT JOINTSAPPENDIX VI WELD PROFILE ACCEPTANCE DESCRIPTION (1) The faces of fillet welds may be slightly convex, flat, or slightly concave as shown in Appendix V (A) and (B), with none of the unacceptable profiles shown in (C). Except at outside comer joints, the convexity, C, of a weld or individual surface bead with dimension W shall not exceed the values noted in the table in Appendix V. 2) Groove welds shall preferably be made with slight or minimum reinforcement except as may be otherwise provided. In the case of butt and corner joints, the reinforcement shall not exceed 1/8 in [3.2 mm] in height and shall have gradual transition to the plane of the base metal surface. See Appendix V. They shalll be free of the discontinuities shown for butt joints in (B). (3) Surfaces of groove welds required to be flush shall be finished so as not to reduce the thickness of the thinner base metal or weld metal by more than 1/32 in [0.8 mm] or 5% of the thickness, whichever is smaller, nor leave reinforcement that exceeds 1/32 in [0.8 mm]. However, all reinforcement must be removed where the weld forms part of a faying or contact surface. Any reinforcement must blend smoothly into the plate surfaces with transition areas free from weld undercut. Chipping may be used provided it is followed by grinding. Where surface finishing is required, its roughness value shall not exceed 250 lin [6.3 ym]. Surfaces finished to values of over 125 pin [3.2 um] through 250 pin [6.3 ym] shall be finished so that the grinding marks are parallel to the direction of primary stress. Surfaces finished to values of 125 pin [3.2 um] or less may be finished in any direction. (4) Ends of groove welds required to be flush shall be finished so as not to reduce the width beyond the detailed width or the actual width furnished, whichever is greater, by more than 1/8 in [3.2 mm] or so as not to leave reinforcement at each end that exceeds 1/8 in [3.2 mm]. Ends of welds in butt joints shall be faired to adjacent plate or shape edges at a slope not to exceed I in 10. (5) Welds shall be free from overlap.APPENDIX VII VISUAL WELD INSPECTION ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA Slag shall be removed from all completed welds. All welds and the adjacent base metal shall be cleaned by brush- ing or by any other suitable means prior to visual inspection. All welds shall meet the following visual acceptance criteria prior to any nondestructive or destructive testing. To be visually acceptable, a weld shall meet the following criteria: (1) The weld shall have no cracks. (2) Thorough fusion shall exist between adjacent layers of weld metal and between weld metal and base metal. (3) All craters shall be filled to the full cross section of the weld. (4) Weld profiles shall be in accordance with Appendices V and VI. (5) When the weld is transverse to the primary tensile stress in the part that is undercut, the undercut shall be no more than 0.010 in [0.25 mm] deep. (6) When the weld is parallel to the primary tensile stress in the part that is undercut, the undercut shall be no more than 1/32 in [0.80 mm] deep. (2) The sum of the diameters of visible porosity shall not exceed 3/8 in [9.5 mm] in any linear inch of weld nor shall the sum exceed 3/4 in [19.0 mm] in any 12 in [305 mm] length of weld. (8) Any single continuous fillet weld shall be permitted to underrun the nominal fillet weld size specified by 1/16 in [1.6 mm]. (9) Visual inspections of welds in all steels may begin immediately after the completed welds have cooled to ambient temperature, Final visual inspection for ASTM A 514 and A 517 steel welds shall be performed not less than 48 hours after completion of the weld and-removal of preheat. (10) Are strikes outside the weld groove or area are prohibited.APPENDIX VIII TEST RESULTS REQUIRED, GUIDED BENDS All Guided Bend Tests, The convex surface of the bend test specimen shall be visually examined for surface dis- continuities. Por acceptance, the surface shall meet the following criteria: (1) No single discontinuity shall exceed 1/8 in [3.2 mm] measured in any direction, (2) The sum of the greatest dimensions of all discontinuities exceeding 1/32 in [0.8 mm] but less than or equal to 1/8 in [3.2 mm] shall not exceed 3/8 in [9.5 mm].

Welding Procedure Qualification 1-1 After meeting visual inspection acceptance criteria and before preparing mechanical test specimens, the proce- dure qualification test specimens, the qualification test plate, pipe, or tubing shall be nondestructively tested for soundness. 1.2 Either radiographic or ultrasonic testing shall be used. ‘The entire length of the weld in the test plates, except the discard lengths at each end, shall be examined. 1.3 Por acceptable qualification, the weld, as revealed by radiographic or ultrasonic testing, shall conform to the requirements of paragraph 3. 2. Welder Performance Qualificat ry 2.1 Except for joints welded by GMAW-S, radiographic examination of a welder or welding operator qualification test plate or test pipe may be made in licu of guided bend tests. 2.1.1 If RT is used in lieu of the prescribed bend tests, the weld reinforcement need not be ground or other- wise smoothed for inspection unless its surface irregularities or juncture with the base metal would cause objectionable weld discontinuities to be obscured in the radiograph. If the backing is removed for radiography, the root shall be ground flush with the base metal, 2.1.2 For welder qualification, exclude 1-1/4 in [32 mm] at each end of the weld from evaluation in the plate {est; for welding operator qualification exclude 3 in [75 mm] at each end of the test plate length, Welded test pipe or tubing 4 in [100 mm] in diameter or larger shall be examined for a minimum of one-half of the weld perimeter selected to include a sample of all positions welded. 2.1.3, For acceptable qualification, the weld, as revealed by the radiograph, shall conform to the requirements of 3.1. 3. Radiographic Inspection Discontinuities other than cracks shall be evaluated on the basis of being either elongated or rounded, Regard- less of the type of discontinuity, an elongated discontinuity is one in which its length exceeds three times its ‘width, A rounded discontinuity is one in which its length is three times its width or less and may be round or irregular and may have tails. 3.1 Acceptance Criteria for Cyclically Loaded Nontubular Connections. Welds that are subject to radiographic testing i addition to visual inspection shall have no cracks and shal be unacceptable if the radiographic testing shows any of the types of discontinuities listed in 3.1.1 and 3.1.2. 21 APPENDIX XVI (Continued) For welds subjected to tensile stress under any condition of loading, the greatest dimension of any porosity or fusion-type discontinuity that is 1/16 in [2 mm] or larger in greatest dimension shall not exceed the size B indicated in Figure 6.4 for the weld size involved. The distance from any porosity or fusion-type discontinuity described above to another such discontinuity, to an edge, or to the toe or root of any intersecting flange-to-web weld shall be not less than the minimum clearance allowed, C, indi- cated in Figure 6.4 (see page 3-49), for the size of discontinuity under examination. Independent of the requirements of 3.1.1, discontinuities having a greatest dimension of less than 1/16 in [2 mm] shall be unacceptable if the sum of their greatest dimensions exceeds 3/8 in [10 mm] in any linear inch [25.4 mm] of weld. 2BAPPENDIX XVI (Continued) HOLE-TYPE IMAGE QUALITY INDICATOR (IQl) REQUIREMENTS Nominal Nominal Source Side Film Side” ‘Material Thickness* Material Thickness* fang Fange;nm’__Desigraion Essen lo Designation __ Essen oe Up to 0.25 inal.
