Good morning,
Thank you for your answer,
Yes, you are right and I agree with you, the appendix U of API 620
code is very clear, but my opinion it is of not tolerated with my
contractor.
Actually my contractor wants to use UT in place RT for the reasons of
cost because UT is not expensive than RT.
Further to your answer I have to communicate the appendix U of the
code API 620 in races of technique one following of course the
contractual clauses.
Please I want a piping cleaning specification for heat exchanger.
PS: I am sorry to put the similar conversations because I am not
qualified in the quality control and during my career I am only
in the management of project. Also sorry about my English because in
Algeria the French language is prime
Thank you PGOSWAMI and have a good day
My best regards
REDOUANE (Engineer of project)
