[MW:544] Ultrasoic Testing of forgings

Dear All

 In many cases forging and girth flanges having thickness more than 100mm are subjected to ultrasonic testing. Regarding this I have couple of queries.

1)      While considering hub type flange which thickness to  be considered for the requirement of ultrasonic testing (i.e. including Hub thickness or excluding hub thickness)?

2)      Is there any clause/reference to exempt the standard (ASME B16.5 & 16.47) flanges from ultrasonic testing ( If its thickness is more than 100mm)?

Please post your reply/comments!
