Dear All,
I have a query regarding application of NDE testing for pipe to pipe, Branch weld connection.
As per ASME B31.3 ( for Normal fluid and category M service : to check Internal porosity ) and EN 13480 ( category III service : for DN>100 or Thick >15mm : 10% welds ),
Branch ( pipe to pipe ) welds needs to be Radiographically/ Ultrasonically ( optional for Thickness > 15 mm as per EN 13480 ) tested.
But it is impractical to perform Radiography on Pipe to Pipe weld.
What is the common practise to test these welds and to comply with code requirements ( 31.3 & EN 13480 ) ?
Thanking you in advance
Kind regards
Rahul
