a x SS ———————O——— re 41 APPLICABILITY OF THESE. STANDARDS, ‘These standards are applicable to ferrite, austenite, and nonferrous materials. 42 TERMINOLOGY (a) Rounded indications Indications with a maximum length of three times the width a less on the radiograph fare defied at rounded indications. These indications say be circular, elliptical, conical, or iregular in shape fand may have tals. When evaluating the size of an indication, the tal shall be included, The indication ray be fom any imperfection in the weld, such as porosity, slag, or tungsten (®) Aligned Indications. A sequence of four or more rounded indications shall be considered to be aligned ‘when they touch a line parallel to the length of the weld drawn through the center of the two outer rounded indications (c) Thickness 1 1 is the thickness of the weld, excluding any allowable reinforcement. For butt weld joining two members having differest thicknesses at the weld, 1 is the thinner of these two thicknesses. If 4 full penettstion weld includes a fillet weld, the thickness of the throat of the fillet shall be included 43 ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA (a) Image Densiy. Density within the image of the indication may vary and isnot a eiterion for acceptance or rejection, () Relevant Indications. (See Table 4-1 for exam ples) Only those rounded indications which exceed the following dimensions shall be considered relevant. ut for ¢ Toss than % in, (.2 mm) Yq in. for ¢ from % in. 10 % in G2 mm wo 6 mm), incl. opin, for ¢ greater than in. 0 2 in, (6 mm to 51 mm), inc Vig in. for greater than 2 in.

For # greater than 2 in, (61 mm) the maximum permissible size of an isolated indication shall he increased to in, (10 ma) (@) Aligned Rounded Indications, Aligned rounded indications are acceptable when the summation of the diameters of the indications is Tess than 1 in a length 12t, See Fig, 4-1. The length of groups of aligned rounded indicetions and te spacing between the groups shall mest the requirements of Fig, 42, (@) Spacing. The distance between adjacent rounded indications is not a factor in determining acceptance or rejection, except as required for isolated indications ‘or groups of aligned indications @) Rounded Indication Charts. Toe rounded indica tions characterized as imperfections shall not exceed that shown inthe charts.
