[MW:19366] Re: SEC-IX RT acceptance

Dear Kumar,

Nothing mentioned in ASME Section IX regarding undercuts, under-fill etc.

Because ASME is based on manufacturers responsibility it would be the responsibility of the manufacturer to determine it's own requirements for this kind of defects, this can be classified as Good Workmanship.

In my opinion this should be discussed in front before start of production at a manufacturers workshop (for example during a kick-off meeting) in order to avoid any discussions afterwards.

Dear All,

When conducting  WPQT(welder performance qualification test), the
acceptance criteria for both visual & RT is SEC.IX, but the these are
seemed to be much short & liberal. like,

Visual- complete fusion & penetration only required for visual, then
what about undercuts, underfill, re-inforcement height etc ?
RT- only chart given is for porosity comparison (attached herewith).
what about slags and other defects?

If anybody has more details of the above part of  SEC.IX, please share.
due to these reasons some times we find difficulty to judge sub-con
welder performances.
could we refert the construction code of the intended project in that case?
Appreciating your valuable feedbacks.
Thanks in advance,
Kumar
