Re: [MW:4842] Radiographic film interpretation

Hi Senthil,
Good to hear from you.
Process: SMAW, structural tubular butt weld made to AWS D1.1.
On further scrutiny the following was observed, let us take this as a more representative data:

Density Location

Overlapping films

Single  film

Weld

2.6

3.24

PM

2.96

3.61

Indication

2.79

3.38

IQI

2.90

3.15

 
By UT we confirmed that the indication is coming from the 1st weld pass just after back grinding and re-welding. The indication is similar to a wagon track type. But in my opinion it is interpass LF. Any comments?
Another issue with developed Kodak M100 film, is it usual for the fim to turn to more to a brownish tinge instead of blackish? The bath is new. We have noted, Agfa D series films give a blackish film after developing.
One more issue in 6GR WQT there always comes a sharp line due to 25 mm edge in the RT film. This might mask discontinuity (e.g. LF) on the fusion line at that side. To avoid this shortcoming, what is the solution?
Please advise.
Rgds,
Shashank

Mr. Shashank,
Can you give more details like what is the welding process, Pipe or Plate joint. In flow lines I use to see these type of indication in crude oil pipelines especially in 4" & 6". As per API 1104 I will reject due to size you mentioned.
 
Regards,
S.Senthilkumar

Hi all,
In one RT film we have a 10-12 mm spot with density 3.13. The weld density is 3.17 and the parent metal density is 3.3. It is apparently interpass LoF in the 2nd fill pass after hot pass (confirmed by UT, where the indication ht is approx 20%of DAC). Is there any or what is the criteria for acceptance/rejection based on density difference?
Rgds,
Shashank Vagal
