Re: [MW:36001] X-RAY Penetration Power

Penetration level: As per EN/ISO 17636-1 For CS:    ~30-200 mm (X-ray -1-4MeV Class A) ;   ~50-180 mm (Class B- Inspector training). For DSS: Same above range as a base and to meet IQI.   Penetration level: As per ASME sec. V   For CS: No Specific limits. X-ray energy and technique to achieve required penetration and IQI sensitivity up to job thickness.   For DSS: Same above and to meet IQI for the thickness used.

Re: [MW:36005] Pressure Chart Recorder

It depends on the project requirements. In our current project, we are using a hydrotest pressure chart recorder for both above-ground and underground lines, as per the specification requirements. If the company requires it, this should be clearly stated in the agreement and hydrotest specification, because it is not only for recording purposes but also involves additional cost. Please convey this to your Quality Management team; they will decide as per the agreement.    Best regards, Dominic V On Mon, 16 Feb 2026 at 11:39, Mahmood Alhinai < mahmood.m.alhinai@gmail.com > wrote: Dear experts, Kindly advise if any code or standard specify to use pressure chart recorder for piping spools hydrotest.

Re: [MW:36006] Pressure Chart Recorder

Dear Experts, Chart recorder are used only to keep evidence records for future reference. If it is not mentioned in client spec & in the approved procedure, you may strongly take up with client to avoid it. cordially, Jay Poojary On Mon, 16 Feb 2026, 11:39 Mahmood Alhinai < mahmood.m.alhinai@gmail.com > wrote: Dear experts, Kindly advise if any code or standard specify to use pressure chart recorder for piping spools hydrotest.
