Radiography Acceptance Criteria As Per B 31.3

The document provides radiography acceptance criteria for welds in categories M, normal fluid, and D fluid. It lists acceptable thresholds for defects like cracks, lack of penetration, undercut, inclusions, and porosity depending on their depth, length, and location. Notes provide definitions for isolated vs random indications and sensitivity requirements for film based on material thickness and wire type. Density limitations are also specified for x-ray and gamma ray radiography.
