1. Purpose
The purpose of this document is to provide a general NDE requirement for Steel
Structure & Shelter, and carried-out by NDT Subcontractor.
2. Scope
This document defines the guideline to implement non-destructive testing in base

metal and welding productions. It provides the minimum requirements to be
considered in NDT procedures, which shall be reviewed and approved by PPC/LSP.
3. Personnel Qualification
All personnel involved in the non-destructive examination shall be qualified in

accordance with NDT Subcontractor’s Written Practice based on ASNT
Recommended Practice SNT-TC-1A, ISO 9712, PCN, CSWIP level II, or level III or
equivalent.
All technicians carrying out non-destructive testing shall hold current valid
certification. The certification documents of personnel shall be submitted to
PPC/LSP prior to work commencement.

6. General requirement
NDT shall be carried out no sooner than 24 hours after completed welding.
6.1. Butt Welds
Subject to the following non-destructive examinations:
- Visual inspection to the project specification.
- Magnetic/ Penetrant test to the project specification.
- Ultrasonic examination to the project specification.
6.2. Fillet Welds
Subject to the following non-destructive examinations:
- Visual inspection to the project specification.
PACKAGE A2
- Magnetic/ Penetrant test to the project specification.
- Ultrasonic examination to the project specification for welds with a leg length
greater than 12mm
6.3. Frequency/ Scope of Weld Examination by NDT
Frequency/ Scope of non-destructive examination is to be as follows:
Weld Type Inspection

Full penetration butt welds for thickness
100% UT and 100% MT or PT
t=8~200mm
Full penetration butt welds for thickness
t<8mm 100% MT or PT
Partial penetration butt welds for thickness

20% UT and 20% MT or PT
t=8~200mm
Partial penetration butt welds for thickness
20% MT or PT
t<8mm
Fillet welds with leg length > 12mm 20% UT and 20% MT or PT
Fillet welds 10% MT or PT
Miscellaneous (Weld Attachments, Arc

100% MT or PT
Strike, Tack Weld…)
Lifting lug full penetration weld 100% UT and 100% MT or PT
Lifting lug fillet weld 100% MT or PT
Handrail, Caged ladder, E&I support, Pipe
support, Equipment frame, Girts, Purlin, 100% visual examination
etc.
PACKAGE A2
6.4. Selection Of Welds To Be Examined
Where there is a requirement for less than 100% examination, the method of
selection of welds to be examined is to be selected by the PPC Inspector before or
after commencement of the work.
Percentage NDT for weld joint with length ≥400mm means that % NDT by length.
Percentage NDT for weld joint with length <400mm means that % NDT by joint.
Where examination reveals unacceptable defects in a weld joint, examine two

additional weld joints in the group represented by the weld joint. If the results on
these two additional weld joints are acceptable then the original weld joint may be
repaired and re-examined by similar means.
If the non-destructive examination of the two additional weld joints reveals

unacceptable defects, examine each weld joint in the group.
7. Acceptance Criteria
7.1. Visual Examination
Visual Examination shall refer to AWS D1.1 table 6.1. Welds subject to
examination shall satisfy the following criteria:
(1) There shall be no evidence of cracks, tears or lack of fusion.
(2) The weld sizes and lengths shall be not less than those dimensions
specified on the drawings.
(3) Any undercut shall be intermittent, and not greater than 0.5mm deep.
(4) Full penetration shall be achieved unless specified otherwise. For

connections welded from one side only, any lack of penetration shall be
intermittent and not greater than 1.5mm deep.
PACKAGE A2
(5) The root gap in fillet welds shall not exceed 1.0mm and shall only exceed
0.5mm intermittently.
(6) Excess penetration shall not exceed 3mm.
(7) Weld reinforcement shall blend smoothly with the parent metal with no
signs of overlap.
(8) Linear misalignment shall not exceed t/10, (where t is the thickness of the
thinner part) or 3mm, whichever is the lesser.
7.2. Ultrasonic Examination
Ultrasonic examination to the project specification for welds with a leg length
greater than 12mm.
Evaluation of UT indications shall be as specified in UT Procedure and refer to

AWS D1.1 table 6.2, 6.3.
Welds subject to ultrasonic examination shall satisfy the following criteria:
(1) The weld is to have no reflectors which could be interpreted as planar

defects such as cracks, tears, lack of fusion or lack of penetration. A
planar defect is deemed to be any flaw whose thickness is less than 25%
of its width.
In the case of partial penetration welds the nominated unfused land shall not be
subject to rejection. The amount of unfused land is to be measured and
recorded. It is not to exceed the nominated width.
(2) All volumetric defects, where the thickness is equal to or greater than 25%
of its width are to be sized and the weld rejected if:
(a) the width exceeds 6mm or T/6, whichever is the lesser, or:
PACKAGE A2
(b) where the width exceeds 1.5mm (but is less than 6mm or T/6, whichever is
the lesser), the length exceeds 20mm. (T = Plate thickness mm)
(3) Two adjacent defects, if not separated by at least twice the length of the
longer defect, are to be regarded as one continuous defect.
(4) A defect is not to begin at a distance less than twice its own length from
the end of the weld.
7.3. Magnetic Particle or Penetration Examination
Evaluation of MT/PT indications shall be as specified in MT Procedure or PT

Procedure and refer to AWS D1.1 table 6.1.
Welds subject to magnetic particle or penetration examination are to satisfy the

following criteria:
(1) The weld is to have no cracks, tears, or lack of fusion.
(2) Any undercut is to be intermittent and not greater than 0.5mm deep.
(3) The sum of diameters of piping or porosity is not to exceed 10mm in any
linear 25mm of weld and 20mm in any 300mm length of weld.
(4) The maximum length of a single defect is to be less than 2/3 of the
effective throat of the weld up to a maximum of 20mm.
(5) The defect is to be further than three times the larger of its own width or
length from the end of the weld or from an adjacent defect.
(6) Any indication which is believed to be spurious is to be regarded as a

defect unless on revaluation by the same method or by an alternative
technique subsequent to surface dressing the indication has been
removed.
PACKAGE A2
(7) Any defects which appear to be subsurface are to be exposed by surface

grinding to display their nature, full size, and shape.
8. Report
The results shall be reported on the attached form by the certified personnel. In
additional, the report may be included mark-up drawings or sketches of detected
defects.
Identification of first repair on reports and weld identification shall be indicated, as

‘R1’ and the subsequent weld repair shall be identified as ‘R2’ and etc... joints that
has been cut out and re-weld shall be denoted as ‘RW’.
