Hi Redouane,
ASME allows UT in lieu of RT but not as a blanket approval.Under the above code case on a specific case by case basis this change of NDE technique is acceptable. But the UT technique should not be conventional pulse echo type, it has to be state of art digitized UT techniques such as TOFD or Phased Array.
If the design code for the LNG tank is API-620, then the following is the selection criteria of UT in lieu of RT.
7.15.3 Ultrasonic Examination Method
7.15.3.1 Ultrasonic Examination in Lieu of Radiography:-When ultrasonic examination is applied in order to fulfill the requirements of 5.26, Q.7.6, or R.7.6, the provisions of Appendix U shall apply. Appendix U also talks about the NDE techniques mentioned above.
Let me know, if it helps.Thanks.
