    NOTES:
    (1) Criteria given are for required examination. More stringent criteria may be specified in the engineering design.
    (2) Longitudinal welds include only those permitted in paras. K302.3.4 and K305. The radiographic criteria shall be met by all welds,
    including those made in accordance with a standard listed in Table K326.1 or in Appendix K.
    (3) Fillet welds include only those permitted in para. 311.2.5(b).
    (4) Branch connection welds include only those permitted in para. K328.5.4.
    (5) Where two limiting values are given, the lesser measured value governs acceptance. T
    w
    is the nominal wall thickness of the thinner of
    two components joined by a butt weld.
    (6) For groove welds, height is the lesser of the measurements made from the surfaces of the adjacent components. For fillet welds,
    height is measured from the theoretical throat; internal protrusion does not apply. Required thickness t
    m
    shall not include reinforce-
    ment or internal protrusion.
