Re: [MW:15052] Acceptance criteria for Tungsten Inclusion in RT

Dear Prem

Depending on whether you have applied full or spot radiography, interpretation has to be carried out as per UW-51 or UW-52 of the ASME VIII div 1.

This means that only elongated inclusions of 6mm and larger needs to be repaired for the applied material thickness of 16mm.

Therefore this indication is acceptable.

Technically spoken, a tungsten inclusion is a round defect, which cannot cause cracks in the weld.

Dear Friends   After reviewing a RT film of a Circ.seam joint (16mm thk), which has been welded with TIG + SMAW, i have observed a tungsten inclusion @2-3mm in dia. The construction code of the vessel is ASME Sec VIII Div.1   No doubt this tungsten inclusion is a defect, but i would like to know whether there is any acceptance criteria related to diameter for the same in ASME Sec VIII Div.1. Please give Code reference.   Regards   Prem Nautiyal Cell: 9769316004
