Magnetic Particle and Liquid Penetrant Tests
Heat-treated enhanced materials used for vessels; all welds must
be given a magnetic particle examination after hydrostatic
testing. Liquid penetrant is an acceptable alternative
Pressure part welded to a plate thicker than 1/2 in to form a
corner joint must be examined by magnetic particle or liquid
penetrant method
Layered vessels
Low-temperature vessel construction; all attachment welds and
joiats not radiographically examined shall be given a liquid
penetrant examination
