[MW:1439] Re: Radiography Test : FULL Vs 100%

Mr.Raghuram is right.UW11 of ASME SEct VIII Div 1 clarifies RT requirements with some exemptions on radiography of Nozzle size upto 8"NB even if the requirement is indicated as "FULL" or "100%".So if R'phy is indiacted as Full or 100% you can always take cognisance of UW11.In literal sense it becomes 100% only when it is specifically indicated that "100% RT for all Butt-welded joints"

No such requirement as 100% in ASME Sec VIII div1, you may refer UW11 for Full RT requirements. Here there are some joints exmpted from RT even you specify as FULL. It depends on designers specific requirements, whether to apply 100% or Full. In my opinion if the datasheet specifies 100% all buttwelds shall be RT'ed irrespective of exmeptions given in UW11(a).

Dears,

 

Does "Full RT" and "100% RT" has the same meaning of Radiography Test?

If NOT - which section of ASME Sect. VIII Div.1 (or 2 or 3) that describe in detail description for both "Full RT" and "100% RT"? 

Thanks & Regards,
edfarman
