My dear, IP is in the root, right? In 8" pipe VT is obviously out ruled. My question is, IP being a serious discontinuity, how is it acceptable even for normal fluid service? IQI contrast - indication density, etc is bit untidy, but the main question is not that.

If it is an open joint check the depth of IP by visual. But in RT you can approximately identify( Not measure) the depth by difference in contrast relative to the IQI contrast at that location BR M.
