    7. Calibration blocks and reference specimens

    7.1. Material

    7.1.1. Material from which respective calibration blocks and reference specimens

    are fabricated will be of the same product form and material specification or

    equivalent. The calibration block material will be completely examined with a

    straight beam search unit to ensure freedom from reflectors that exceed the

    back wall echo.

    7.1.2. For the examination for weldments which have been subjected to post weld

    heat treatment the material from which the calibration block is fabricated will

    have received a similar PWHT process, and also a post weld heat treatment of

    at least 2 hr, if the calibration block contains weld prior to machine the

    reflectors.

    7.1.3. When calibration block have not received heat treatment, transfer method

    shall be used to correlate the responses from the basic calibration block and

    component. Transfer is accomplished by noting the difference between

    responses received from the same reference reflector in the basic calibration

    block and in the component and correcting for the difference.

    7.2. The surface finish of the calibration blocks will be as representative of the surface

    finish of the components as far as possible with suitable surface preparation or

    treatment, as practical, to simulate testing conditions.

    7.3. Reference specimens for testing the welds (ASME Basic Calibration Blocks)

    7.3.1. For examination in materials where examination surface diameter is greater

    than 20 inches, a flat basic calibration block, complying with the requirements

    indicated on figure 5 will be used. Reflectors will have side-drilled holes and

    8. Distance calibration

    The CRT will be calibrated for range using the international institute of welding STB-A1,

    type 1, 2 and STB-A3 calibration blocks, in the relationship of time versus distance

    (beam path length).

    9. Distance amplitude correction (DAC curve)

    9.1. For sensitivity calibration during all weld examination (Straight or Angle beam),

    DAC curves will be constructed for every search unit to be utilized at each

    particular range. Block used for DAC construction will be selected as appropriate

    from those as specified in para. 7.3.

    9.2. DAC curves will be constructed as follow.

    9.2.1. Place the probe on the calibration block to obtain a reflection from the hole

    that produces the greatest response.

    9.2.2. Maximize the indication by manipulation and adjust to approx. 80% screen

    height using the calibration gain control. Make a mark on the CRT at the peak

    of the indication using an indelible fine tipped felt marker.

    9.2.3. Points representing 20 % and 50 % of the primary gain are also to be

    constructed. Repeat b) and c) using reflections from every reflector that can be

    obtained within the beam length of the test range to be used, including those

    reflections obtained from skip, if the sound path is more than probes specific

    near field range.

    9.2.4. Connect all points marked (minimum 3 points) with a smooth curving line,

    this line will be referenced to as the DAC curve the respective probe used and

    will apply for that particular material and configuration (or part geometry) only.

    9.2.5. DAC curves will be directly marked as the CRT time base screen cover with

    an indelible ink marker or superimposed using clear plastic, polyester or

    Perspex overlap. The DAC curve fail to search a level of at least 23 % of full

    screen height at the limit of its range, as represented on the time base,

    sufficient supplementary gain should be added to attain this level and the DAC

    adjusted accordingly.

    10. Primary reference level and scanning sensi tiv ity

    10.1. The primary reference level will be that gain setting whereby reflectors in the

    applicable basic calibration block or reference specimen as described in para. 7.3

    above, coincide with DAC curve constructed as described in para. 9.0 above. The

    primary reference level will be corrected for differences in surface character and

    attenuation between the basic reference block and the actual item under

    examination by method, as described in para. 11 herein.

    10.2. Sensitivity settings for parent material examination with 0 compression wave will

    be that dB value where by the first back wall echo of the material reaches 80 % of

    full screen height, DAC curves will not apply for evaluation during this application.

    Scanning will be carried out at the same setting according to ASTM A578.

    11. Transfer value correction

    11.1. Transfer value will be determined and used for all shear wave examination to

    compensate for differences in surface contour, finish, coating, and acoustical

    attenuation characteristics. This exercise will be performed for each nominal angle

    of refraction to be utilized for examination. To ensure that accurate transfer value

    correction factors are obtained, signal comparison will only be made in the far

    field area of the ultrasonic beam.

    11.2. Transfer correction will be measured with the following way;

    Page 18 of 34

    11.2.1. Construct the DAC as per para. 9.0.

    11.2.2. Using the primary search unit as the transmitter and a similar search unit as

    a receiver, position both on the basic calibration block facing each other, in a

    pitch and catches arrangement with the instrument in the dual transducer

    mode.

    11.2.3. Maximize the indication and adjust the gain to allow the indication to peak

    at the DAC curve. Note the gain value.

    11.2.4. Repeat steps a), b) and c) above on the component to be examined. The

    difference in gain values is the transfer value. This value may be positive or

    negative and adjustments will be made to the sensitivity settings accordingly

    and should be recorded in all the reports.

    12. Appl ication of UT Examination

    12.1. The applicable specification are 602-000-PI-SP-010 and 602-000-ST-SP-001

    12.2. When RT is required and is not practicable UT plus MT may be considered as an

    alternative subject to COMPANY approval.

    12.3. UT may be substituted for RT where it is impractical to obtain an interpretable

    radiograph, subject to COMPANY review and approval.

    13. Parent metal evaluation

    13.1. Thickness measurement

    13.1.1. Any member from which scanning is to be conducted shall first be scanned

    with a 0compression probe to establish the thickness. These results will be

    recorded.

    13.1.2. Any areas of significant thickness variation, which could possibly affect

    calculation, will be highlighted, recorded and reported.

    13.2. Parent metal examination

    13.2.1. The scanning of the adjacent base metal shall be performed to detect

    reflectors that might affect interpretation of angle beam results, and is not to be

    used as an acceptance-rejection examination. Locations and areas of such

    reflectors shall be recorded.

    13.2.2. Ultrasonic examination within pipe end and shall be carried out according to

    ASTM A578. Any discontinuity (e.g. lamination) causing a reflection echo

    exceeding 50 % and accompanied by a 50 % loss of back reflection shall be

    considered as reject when the discontinuity area exceeds 100 mm.

    14. Inspection of welds

    14.1. General

    14.1.1. A minimum of two different probe angles should always be applied (see

    table 2) this is in addition to the straight beam probe required as per para. 12.

    14.1.2. For butt joint welds, the examination shall be made from both sides of the

    weld axis from the accessible surface, wherever possible.

    14.1.3. Upon discovering suspect indications both orbital and rotational scan will be

    carried out to evaluate the characteristics of the reflector.

    14.1.4. Time base ranges as specified may be suitably readjusted by the operator in

    localized areas to highlight suspect deflections and subsequently assist in echo

    evaluation.

    14.1.5. The normal scanning is carried out with at least 6 dB increased gain level,

    and that all defects sizes will be evaluated at a non-increased level.

    14.2. Longitudinal scanning

    14.2.1. Scanning for longitudinal discontinuities in the weld body will be carried out

    with the angle beam at approximately right angles to the weld axis, from two

    directions whenever possible. Nominal angles of reflection to achieve this are

    stated in table 2.

    14.3. Transverse scanning

    14.3.1. Scanning for discontinuities oriented transverse to the weld will be carried

    out with the angle beam directed essentially parallel to the weld. For scanning

    of transverse defects, it should be considered to scan on the weld cap itself,

    which if necessary, must be ground flat. The search unit will be manipulated so

    that the angle beam energy passes through the required volumes of weld and

    adjacent base metal.

    14.3.2. A transverse scan will be carried out on all welds scheduled for ultrasonic

    examination.

    14.3.3. Nominal angles of reflection to achieve this are stated in table 2. The

    exception of the above will be when the search unit is scanning essentially as

    tangent over curved surfaces of 20 diameter or less.

    15. Discont inui ty localization and s ize evaluation

    15.1. Discontinuities will be confirmed and located within the weld cross section by

    means of a probe manipulation to maximize the response obtained and to measure

    beam path lengths and distance from established reference points. Location

    reflectors may be aided by the use of trigonometry, electronic calculators and

    ultrasonic plotting slides. The use of these additional tools will not be mandatory.

    15.2. Evaluation

    15.2.1. The corrected primary gain (primary reference level + transfer correction) is

    to be increased by 6 dB for defect detection.

    15.2.2. All discontinuities that produce reflectors at or grater than 20 % of DAC

    when searching at the increased gain level as above, are to be subject to

    defect size evaluation at non-increased gain level (i.e. with 6dB decrease).

    These imperfections shall be investigated to determine the shape, identity, and

    location.

    15.2.3. Dimensional evaluation of indication is made using either the 20 dB drop

    method or the half value drop method.

    15.2.4. Also each indication producing an echo, which exceeds 50 % of the

    reference curve, is to be reported and its evaluated size as above checked for

    acceptability.

    16. Post cleaning

    upon the completion of the examination, the surfaces shall be thoroughly cleaned by

    wiping with a suitable one as required to remove all traces of couplant.

    17. Acceptance standards

    Acceptance criteria for piping welding shall be as per ASME B31.1 para. 344.6.2 and

    for steel structure welding shall be as per AWS D1.1 section 6 part C.

    18. Defect marking and examination of repair

    18.1. All areas deemed to be rejectable that require repairing, will be clearly and

    unambiguously marked up on the surface of the weld and the adjacent parent

    material with indelible metal markers.

    18.2. The extent of examination will guarantee the satisfactory inspection of the entire

    cross sectional volume of weld and HAZ regardless of the extent of repair. The

    whole length of repair will be examined plus 50 mm from the repair weld deposit at

    the both ends where possible.

    18.3. During repair examination, taking into consideration the nature, position and

    extent of the original defect and the position of new fusion faces created by the

    repair.
