1 Introduction
No. 1 sample was sent with commercial invoice dated 04/09/2017.
2 Aim
Qualification of weld coupon according to SAIPEM SPC.CR.UR.510 Rev.04 specification.
3 Activity Plan
It was required to carry out:
1. Photographic documentation
2. Macrographic examination
3. Preliminary metallographic examination to verify the absence of sigma phase,
intergranular or intragranular compounds or phases and other than austenitic phase and
evaluation of microstructure
4. Corrosion test on no.2 samples (sample S5-a and sample S5-b)1
5. Metallographic examination to verify maximum depth of attack on metallographic
sections after corrosion test
6. Measurement of  ferrite content, with Fisher feritscope MP30
