1.0 SCOPE
1.4.1 The nozzle and safeend/ transition piece / flange weld configurations
covered by this procedure are shown in Figures 1 through 6.

5.1.1 The nominal examination frequency shall be 2.25 MHz for all
straight beam and angle beam examinations.
5.1.2 Other pulse frequencies shall be used if such variables as
material attenuation, grain structure, etc., necessitate
their use to achieve penetration or resolution. This informa-
tion shall be recorded on the data sheets.
5.1.3 5.0MHz may be used for straight beam examination in order to achieve
resolution of the side drilled holes in the calibration standards.
g
5.2 Examination Angles and Coverage
5.2.2 The rate of search unit movement shall not exceed six (6)
inches per second.
5.2.3 Each weld and the required volume (WRV) of metal for one (1)
wall thickness on each side of the weld shall be ultrasonically
examined using 45o angle beam techniques applied in two (2)
directions perpendicular to the weld axis and 30 angle beam /1s
(45 for steagCRD and AP nozzle piece welds only) in two (2)
directions parallel with weld axis and on both sides of the
weld where part geometry and access permit.
5.2.4 Straight beam techniques shall be applied, where part geometry
permits, to all parent material through which the angle beams
will pass during angle beam examinations. Indications
detected are to be recorded in accordance with Section 10.1.1
of this procedure, except in areas where no back echo can be
obtained. Indications detected shall be recorded and data
used during evaluation of angle beam examination results.
o~; ~

5.6.2 Datum points shall be marked by the use of low stress stamps
or vibratooling and shall not be deeper than 1/32".
5.6.3 The datum point for all safeend/ transition piece welds in
horizontal lines shall be located on the top of the pipe at
weld centerline.

scan path distances. Refer to the Preservice inspection Program
Plan for detailed weld locations and iden t i f i ca t ions .
9.1.4 Continue scanning sequences until all base material has been
examined. Examination shall not be considered complete until
all recordable indications have been evaluated per Section
10.1.1.
9.2 Straight and Angle Beam Examination
9.2.1 Straight beam and angle beam examination of the weld and
required volume zone shall be performed at a minimum scanning
sensitivity level of 2X (6dB) greater than the calibrated
reference sensitivity level.
9.2.4 Continue scanning sequences until all welds have been examined.
Examination shall not be considered complete until all recordable
indications have been evaluated per Section 10.1.2.
The Examiner shall complete and sign all data sheets immediately upon
the completion of each weld examination. The data sheets may be

STRAIGHT BEAM CAllBRATION.
NOTE: For straight beam calibration on Welds under 1" thick, use 1/2T hole only, no
DAC required.
Step 1 - Adjust sweep controls so that the entire examination are is displayed on CRT
screen.
Step 2 - Adjust sensitNity to provide 80% FSH indication from hole giving maximum
response. Mark position on screen.
Step 3 - Position search unit for maximum response f rom remaining holes. Mark
position on screen.
Step 4 - Plot DAC by connecting points marked on screen with line extended to cover
entire examination range.
Step 5 - Record all sweep and sensitivity control settings on respective data sheets.
Step 6 - Position search unit for maximum responses from the surface notches and "X"
mark screen and'dati sheet to indicate amplitude.

Step 1 - For straight beam calibration use 1/2T hole only with 80% FSH as
primary reference response. No DAC necessary.
Step 2 - Adjust sweep controls so that the entire examination area is displayed
on CRT screen.
Step 3 - Adjust sensitivity to provide 80% FSH indication from hole giving
maximum response. Mark position on screen.
Step 4 - Position search unit for maximum response from remaining holes. Mark
position on screen. Divide into two zones, if high attenuation makes
it necessary.
Step 5 - Plot DAC by connecting points marked on screen with line extended to
cover entire examination range. Check gain setting against equivalent
response from the weld (gain correction) hole.
Step 6 - Record all sweep and sensitivity control settings on respective data sheets.
Step 7 - Position segrch unit for maximum response from the surface notches and "X"
mark screen and data sheet to indicate amplitude.
