Carry out inspection of both the face and root of the PLATE / PIPE samples. 2. For the PLATE, plot the position of, identify and dimension any defects found from the left hand edge (datum end A). 3. For the PIPE, defect location shall be made from the nearest left hand datum 9. Section A-B measurement from datum A, Section B-C measurement from datum 8 and so on. 4. Ail dimensions to be in millimeters. 5. Also record any weld features and dimensions. e.g. cap height 4mm. Toe blend poor / acceptable, cap width. 6. Use sheet 1 of 3 for the weld cap face examination and sheet 2 of 3 for the weld root examination. 7. PLEASE DO NOT MARK THE SAMPLES! REPORT. Sheet 3. The report should be completed as follows; Column 1. Maximum Value or Total Length. Record the accumulated total length of the defect. Defects such as excess reinforcement / excess penetration should also have the height measurement recorded. Depth measurement for undercut should also be recorded. {f there is no defect found, write the word NONE in this column (2). Puta line through columns 3 & 4 and write ACCEPT in column 5. Column 2. Maximum Allowance by Code. Record the defect allowance permitted by the code / specification. Column 3. Code Section or Table No. The section / table number from the code / specification relating to the type of defect. Column 4. Accept / Reject /Refer. Based on the acceptance / rejection requirements of the standard writ Accept / Reject or Refer as applicable. Notes: The sketch and the report must be in ink Do not use abbreviations e.g. LORP for lack of root penetration. Do not use suckback for root concavity, missed edge for lack of root fusion, Poor pick up for poor restart, Hi/Lo for misalingment. Do not use colour coding or indexes. Do not leave any blank spaces on the report. bawis S081Page 1 of 2 VISUAL INSPECTION PIPE REPORT Name [Block capitals] STEVE HUGHES __ Signature SE Maghes Pipe Ident__E14 Code/Specification used YOUR CODE.
