-or Equivalent TKY qualification.

• Personnel shall have passed a visual acuity test such as required by EN 473 and ISO 9712 or Jaeger J-w test at
300mm, within the previous 12 months.
4.0 EQUIPMENT
4.1 Ultrasonic Flaw Detector shall be Portable; Pulse echo unit with rectified A – Scan display (E.g.,
Krautkramer– USM-35X , Olympus Epoch 650 or equivalent).
4.2 Straight beam search units shall be of standard manufacturer, Single or Twin crystal with nominal
frequency of 2.5 – 5 MHz crystal diameter of 10 – 15mm.
4.3 Single crystal Angle Beam search units with a nominal frequency as per API RP 2X Sections 7.5.2(c)
and 7.7.1- 2-2.25 MHz is recommended, however higher frequency probes may be used.
4.4 Selection of probe diameter (or size) and frequency are decided by their combination. Beam spread is
function of probe size (larger probes result in reduced spread) and frequency (higher frequencies result in
reduced beam spread).
5.0 REFERENCE BLOCKS
Reference blocks shall be used according to API RP 2X
5.1 IIW (V1) Block
5.2 V2 (Din 54122) Block
5.3 IOW Beam Profile Block

Manufacturers’ certificate of calibration shall be available with each new flaw detection unit. Recommended
third parties shall carry out annual re-calibration and certification.
Pre-inspection instruments checks
The vertical amplifier will be linear to within 1 dB in the range of 10% of full scale height and any
deviation above this will be known to the operator.
The vertical amplifier will be linear to that extent, so that successive reductions of -2 dB from a 100%
response will provide the following amplitudes:
0 dB 100%
2 dB 80%
4 dB 63%
6 dB 50%
8 dB 40%
10 dB 32%
12 dB 25%
14 dB 20%

16 dB 16%
18 dB 12%
20 dB 10%
Deviations up to 5% above the 50% amplitude height and up to 2% below the 50% amplitude height will
be acceptable.
The 20 dB incremented switch will be correctly adjusted so as to provide the same amplitude with the
same gain value, but at varying switch positions.
As the use of suppression drastically affects the amplitude linearity. The use of suppression will be
avoided.
Horizontal Linearity of the time base is essential over the full width of the screen, any deviation will not
exceed 1% of the full scale deflection in use.
Time base linearity will be tested by the setting of a test range of 100mm time base of the screen after
first setting four signals on 25mm thickness, any deviation greater than 1 mm will be unacceptable.
7.1 In addition to the above, the ultrasonic operator shall carry out following equipment checks prior to
conducting any test.
7.1.1 Probe Resolution
7.1.1a Place 0° compression probe on the V1 (IIW) Block as shown in the figure 1.1. The echoes from the
bottom of the milled slot at 85mm and from the steps at 91mm and 100mm shall be clearly
discernible on the screen.

9.0 TRANSFER CORRECTION FACTOR

Transfer correction shall be carried out to compensate for differences in surface condition and material
composition between calibration block and test component. It is a requirement to determine a transfer
correction factor and adjust basic sensitivity prior to any test. It shall be carried out as follows:
9.1 Connect 2 shear wave probes of same angle, type to the UFD in transmitter & Receiver mode.
9.2 Position the probes on the basic calibration block facing each other. Maximize the Full skip distance
echo and keep it at 80% of full screen height (Refer Fig.2.1). Mark the signal on the UFD screen.

10.0 BEAM PATH CALIBRATION, SENSITIVITY SETTING

10.1 Normal and angle beam calibration shall be made by the UT Operator at the work location, immediately
prior to the commencement of test by using either V1 or V2 block.
10.2 Straight beam calibration shall be made to display at least two back wall echoes on the CRT screen.
10.3 Straight beam sensitivity shall be adjusted such that the first back wall echo is set at 80% FSH.
10.4 Angle beam calibration shall be made for 1½ skip beam path length to ensure complete coverage of
weld using V1 or V2 block.
10.5 Recalibration of beam path shall be made every 30 minutes during testing, after any change of probe,
coaxial cable or battery, or after any change of work location.
10.6 Suppression control shall be off during calibration.
10.7 Sensitivity Calibration for Tubular Connections:
Standard sensitivity for examination of production welds using amplitude techniques shall be: basic
sensitivity + distant amplitude correction + transfer correction. This calibration shall be performed at least
once for each joint to be tested.
Surface Temperature: For contact examination, the temperature differential between basic calibration block
and examination surfaces surface shall be within 14ºC. Temperature of component during examination in all
cases shall not exceed 50ºC.
10.7.1 Basic Sensitivity. Reference level screen height obtained using maximum reflection from the 0.060
in. [1.5 mm] diameter hole in the Type SC - Sensitivity Reference Block as described in the following
Figure.
The primary reference reflectors are side drilled hole of 1.6mm diameter for welds other than T K Y welds
and for internal reflectors from T K Y welds as shown figure 2.4 (Reference Para 7.10.2 of API RP 2X &
Figure 43).
API RP 2X suggests the primary reference reflectors for T K Y weld root reflectors be a square buttress
notch on a similar material plate of thickness 1 to 2 times nominal thickness of pipe tested.
2/3 point reference DAC curve shall be made by maximizing response for the side drilled hole reference
reflector. Both 20% and 50% curves shall be produced.

The sensitivity level shall be adjusted to provide for attenuation loss throughout the range of sound path to
be used by either distance amplitude correction curves, electronic means, or as described in 10.7.3. Where
high frequency transducers are used, the greater attenuation shall be taken into account. Transfer correction
may be used to accommodate UT through tight layers of paint not exceeding 0.25 mm in thickness.
10.7.3 DAC Construction

a. Position the probe on the Type SC Block. Pick up the 1.6mm hole from Position #1. Maximize the signal
by manipulation of probe.
b. Adjust the gain and keep the maximized signal at 80% FSH, mark the signal peak on the screen and note
the gain (dB). This gain is referred as the Primary (Reference) Sensitivity (Figure 3).
c. Without adjusting the primary sensitivity, pick-up the second hole form Position #2. Maximize and mark
the signal peak on the CRT (Figure 3).
d. To make DAC, Join Both Points by drawing a line between ID and OD Peak signals on the screen
(Figure-4). A curve can be made if 3 or more reference points are taken.
e. Scanning shall be done at 12 dB more than the primary (Reference) sensitivity.

11.0 TEST PROCEDURE AND SCANNING TECHNIQUE

These scanning techniques are applicable to all categories of connections.
11.1 If defects or considerable variation in attenuation are found, it is important that their influence on the
weld examination be taken into account and the scanning technique adjusted to ensure complete examination
of the weld.
11.2 Straight beam examination shall be carried out on the base metal to ensure that the angle beam
scanning area is free of lamination or any imperfections that might interfere with the angle beam test. Any
area of base metal with indications excess or equal to back wall echo or any area in which the back wall echo
is completely lost shall be reported.
11.3 Thickness measurement: The thickness of each member from which scanning is to be achieved
should be determined and recorded for use in the flaw location determinations.
11.2 Scanning shall be performed perpendicular to the weld axis to find out longitudinal defects using 70°,
60° or 45° shear wave probes.
11.3 Scanning shall be done from 0 to 1½ skip + 1 weld cap distance as shown in figure 5.1 through 5.5.
11.4 Probe movement during scans shall be a combination of lateral and traversing actions as given in
figure-6. Each scan shall overlap by at least 10%. Rotational and orbital probe movements shall be used for
assessment of indications.
11.5 Transverse scanning shall be carried out from weld cap if possible. Alternately scanning shall be
done on the parent metal adjacent to weld at an angle of <15° to the weld axis (refer figure 6).
11.6 Tubular Connection Requirements:

Groove butt welds welded from one side without backing, the entire length of all completed tubular
production welds shall be examined by UT. The acceptance criteria shall conform to 14.1.
11.7 Weld scanning of T connections:

Weld scanning of T connections shall be performed from the branch member surface as given in Figure-5.1.
All examinations shall be made in leg I and II where possible. Normal probe scanning from main member as
shown in figure 5.1 shall be performed where ever possible.
For initial scanning, the sensitivity shall be increased by 12 dB above that established in 10.7.3b. Indication
evaluation shall be performed with reference to the standard sensitivity.

11.8 Weld scanning of K & Y connections:

11.8.1 Weld scanning of K & Y connections shall be performed from the branch member surface as given in
Figure-5.2, 5.3, 5.4 and 5.5. All examinations shall be made in leg I and II where possible. For the heel zone
examination in leg III also required because most of the times especially when the local dihedral angle is less
than 45º, the root area is inaccessible by even 70º probe. Therefore in the heel zone, scanning up to leg-III is
required to evaluate the root area.
11.8.2 Normal probe scanning from main member as shown in figure 5.1 shall be performed where ever
possible. This scanning can detect LOF on main member side and lamellar tearing.
11.8.3 For initial scanning, the sensitivity shall be increased by 12 dB above that established in 10.6.3b.
Indication evaluation shall be performed with reference to the standard sensitivity.

Short Point (Heel Zone)
11.8.4 The transition zone always accompanied with curvature effects of both branch and main member that
lead to increased beam paths and increased skip distances compared to plates. Therefore suitable curvature
correction shall be made as described below:
Method-1
Take two probes of the same angle, frequency, and size. Pick up the full V-signal by placing one as a
transmitter and the other as a receiver. Measure the distance between probe exit points, and beam path from
the CRT, when the signal from the transmitter is maximized on the CRT (see Figure 5.6).
Draw the skip distance and beam path on the plotting card and determine the effective angle using protractor
(see Figure 5.7).
Method-2
Another method of determining the corrected beam angle is to use the distance between the index points in
the following equation:

Tanθ =

Where:
θ = effective beam angle.
T = material thickness.
A–B = distance between index points as depicted on the plotting card in Figure 5.7
Method-3
The beam path distance taken from the screen also may be used to determine the effective beam angle by
using the following equation:

Where:
θ  = effective beam angle.
T = material thickness.
BP = Beam path distance taken from the screen.
Method-4
Alternately, a profile gauge and/or lead wire can be used to take the curvature along the line of scanning, and
then the curvature profile is transferred to a paper. Then another line is drawn using the same profile gauge
or lead wire without altering it corresponding to the internal wall.
The profile gauge and/or lead wire can be used in such a way to take the profile of the branch member,
weldment and main member together.
Draw tangent along the outer surface of the profile. Then use a protractor to mark probe angle (45°, 60° or
70°). Draw a line from top to bottom surface along the marked probe angle.
Measure the distance between both surfaces. It is the beam path corresponding to the curvature. Effective
angle can be calculated using formula given in the method -3.
Using this technique a full scale curvature with weld can be obtained. It needs extensive practice to get
adequate accuracy. Refer Figure-5.8
Method-5
The Thickness-OD ratio chart shown in figure-5.9 & figure-5.10 also can be used to get curvature correction.
This is more suitable for circumferential scanning of pipes.

Figure-5.11 Probe Movement
Notes:
1. Testing patterns are all symmetrical around the weld axis with the exception of pattern D which is
conducted directly over the weld axis.
2. Testing from both sides of the weld axis is to be made wherever mechanically possible
11.8.5 Before starting the test, at least 3 profiles should be taken from transition zone, long point and short
point. Estimation of expected beam paths & skip distance for root and main member back wall echoes
should be made by plotting.
11.8.6 Place the probe at transition zone so that maximum reflection from the main member back wall is
received. Verify the skip & beam path distances from the plotting made in Para 11.8.5.
It is very useful for Y&K-joints, because it always presents most of the time. This echo serves as a guide for
the entire testing. Any indication before this is possibly a discontinuity.
The root indication appears approximately one main member thickness before the main member back wall
echo. It is essential during weld examination for UT operators to be alert for changes in intercept angles and
avoid 30-degree incidence on potential discontinuities which cause mode conversion and a loss of echo
signal amplitude. (Refer to API RP 2X section 7.8 for the effects of surface geometry on the incident angle.
The main member back wall indication and root indication on the CRT will move towards right hand side as
the probe move away from the weld cap.

Reg.No.199305273G
All indications greater than 50% of reference including root should be carefully plotted and evaluated in leg-
I.
All indications before the main member back wall should be carefully plotted and evaluated in leg-II.
12.0 EVALUATION OF INDICATIONS
12.1 Tubular Connections:
Discontinuities shall be evaluated by use of a combination of beam boundary and amplitude techniques.
Sizes shall be given as length and height (depth dimension) or amplitude, as applicable. Amplitude shall be
related to “standard calibration.” In addition, discontinuities shall be classified as linear or planar versus
spherical, by noting changes in amplitude as the transducer is swung in an arc centered on the reflector.
The location (position) of discontinuities within the weld cross section, as well as from an established
reference point along the weld axis, shall be determined.
Recommended sizing techniques are specified in accordance with API RP 2X section 7.9.3.5.
The popular method of determining the length of reflector by defining the ends when the CRT echo signal
has dropped to half (6 decibels) results in an overestimation of reflector is less than the cross sectional width
of the sound beam. This error can be reduced by using a 20 decibel drop and subtracting the 20 decibel half-
beam widths as discussed in 7.9.3.2 of API RP 2X.
This will still lead to a slight overestimation because the beam spread has been derived from a linear and not
a point reflector. However, the 20 decibel beam profile is very near the extreme edge of the beam, and the
error is small.
12.8 Identification of Rejected Area:

Each rejectable discontinuity shall be indicated on the weld by a mark directly over the discontinuity for its
entire length. The depth from the surface and indication rating shall be noted on nearby base metal.
12.9 Repair:
Welds found unacceptable by UT shall be repaired. Repaired areas shall be retested ultrasonically with
results tabulated on the original form (if available) or additional report forms.
13.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS

Suitable hood shall be used to shield the light when carry out testing in daylight.
14.0 ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA

14.1.2 Class X (Experience based, fitness for purpose criteria applicable to T, K, Y connections)
Acceptance criteria for UT shall be provided in contract documents. Unless otherwise specified, the fitness
for purpose criteria (Class-X) can be applied as given below:
14.1.2.1 All indications having less than half (6dB) standard sensitivity level shall be disregarded.
14.1.2.2 Indications exceeding disregard level shall be evaluated as follows:
