As per ASME B31.3, acceptance criteria for incomplete penetration is:- between ≤1mm ann ≤0.2Tw
was it caught by Radiography or ultrasonic testing?
If UT then there is possibility that what you are referring to "incomplete penetration" might
actually be "Lack of sidewall fusion" for which table 341.3.2 Note 7 states that
"tightly butted unfused root faces are unacceptable".
