Dear experts;

We have a skid of piping 10 " and 2 " API 5L welded and inspected according B 31.3.

we made already the internal hydro test (  two houres at 375 bar) in workshop and the result was satisfactory , we repeat the same hydrotest in the client workshop and we found a leak in one 2 " joints.

the RT report for this weld mention only undercut ( acceptable).

how we can explain this ?
