general the following guidelines shall apply:
• Welding of carbon steel to austenitic stainless steel shall
utilize an over alloyed fill-er suitable for the welding Not Required
process (e.g. 309L grade).
• Welding of carbon steel to low-alloy steel shall be
performed by buttering the low alloy metal using a Comply
carbon steel consumable. Preheating and PWHT shall be Not Required
as per the requirements of the low alloy steel.
• Welding of low-alloy steel to a different low-alloy steel

requirements of the higher alloy.
• Welding of carbon steel to duplex stainless steel shall be Not Required
performed using a con-sumable suitable for duplex.
• Manufacturer of welding consumables shall be either Comply Bohler

10.14.8 Preparation for Pipe Work
10.14.9 Piping Installation
10.14.10 Piping Non-Destructive Examination (NDE) Requirements
All NDE requirements discussed below apply to both shop and Comply
field welds.
Each completed weld shall be 100% visually examined. The
procedures shall be in accordance with ASME Code Section V,
Article 9. In addition, random process visual examinations of
welds shall be performed. Results of visual examinations shall Comply
be documented. The format shall be approved by the employer/
engineer.
Where random NDE of welds are specified, the following
requirements shall be met:
NDE of welds shall be performed as soon as possible after the
welds are completed and the sampling shall be distributed
proportionately and uniformly over the types of welds, the
number of welds, the welding processes used, the welders and Comply
the welding stations involved in the production. The required
extent of random examinations shall be applied to the welding
production of each shift, day, week and/or established sample

Compliance
period.
Records shall be kept of the number of welds produced and the
number of welds examined on a daily basis to confirm the
uniform and timely examination of the required number of Comply
welds. For Radiographic Testing (RT), these records shall be
evaluated for compliance with required line class percentages at
time intervals of no longer than one (1) week.
It shall not be acceptable to meet the required extent of
radiography for a line class by radiographing the required
number of welds in a short period of time (relative to the time
period in which the welds are made), by radiographing a Comply
disproportionately large number of welds in only a few piping
pieces, or by radiographing the required number of welds from
the work of only a small proportion of the number of welders
working on a particular piping line class.
If unacceptable welds are found by NDE, the requirements of
ASME B31.3 for additional examination shall be met by
selecting two (2) additional welds for examination from the
sampling lot of the welder that produced the unacceptable weld.
Such additional examinations shall be in addition to the
specified extent of examination and shall not be credited towards
meeting the specified required extent of examination. In Comply
accordance with ASME B31.3, additional welds shall be
radiographed, in line classes of the same type of material, for

Compliance
each individual weld rejected. Any weld which is rejected for a

single cluster of porosity, confined to an area not exceeding 25
mm (1”) in the total length of the weld, shall not require two (2)
additional follow-up radiographs.
For examinations and tests which are intended to sample the
quality of the welding performed by a welder or automatic
welding station in the specified time interval, the sample
examined shall be selected from any of the welds in any line
class made in that sampling interval by the welder or welding
station being sampled. The sampling for these examinations and
tests on pressure-containing welds shall include girth butt welds, Comply
branch connection welds, socket welds and seal welds in
approximate proportion to the number of these type of welds in
the sample lot. None of these types of welds shall be neglected
in the sample selection. These sampling requirements shall be
met for every line class and every welder or automatic welding
station related to each specific welding procedure used and
represented in the sampling lot.
RT shall be required to be applied on 10% of all shop and fields
welds. RT is not required on welds in piping that is open to the Comply
atmosphere or for drains.
Random radiography of original welds is required to the
minimum percentage extent noted for all girth butt welds
regardless of size. All branch connection welds in which the

Technical Submittal

Compliance Sheet
Vendor
Compliance
branch pipe or fitting is NPS 8 or larger shall be included in the

sampling. Where RT is impractical, specifically for branch See Note All 2” and below will be threaded pipes.
connections NPS ½ up to and including NPS 6, Ultrasonic Test-
ing (UT) shall be conducted. The UT procedure and standards of
acceptance shall be approved by the employer/ engineer prior to
conducting any UT examinations.
Examinations shall include the work of all welders welding in
the line class and shall be performed in a timely manner as the
work progresses so that the welds selected for examination are Noted
uniformly spread over the total number of welds made, and that
no portion of the piping welds in the line class are not sampled.
The first three (3) girth butt welds or 2000 mm of weld length,
whichever is less, and the first branch connection weld made by Noted
each welder beginning to work under this specification shall be
100% radiographed.
Selection of welds to be examined shall include girth butt welds,
butt welds, socket welds and applicable branch connection welds Not Required
in the approximate proportions to the number of these welds in
the line being welded.
RT that results in weld rejections shall have additional Noted
examinations.
Welds made by automatic or semi-automatic procedures shall be
subjected to random Magnetic Particle Testing (MT) to an extent Not Required
of at least one (1) weld examined per welding station, per shift.

Compliance Sheet
Vendor
Compliance
After PWHT, all welds shall be subjected to 100% MT on all

accessible surfaces.
Girth butt welds which require PWHT shall be subjected to
hardness tests after PWHT, to the following extent:
At least two (2) welds, randomly selected, shall be hardness
tested from each furnace load of piping subjected to furnace Noted
PWHT.
At least one (1) weld, randomly selected, shall be hardness
tested from each P-number grouping in the daily heat treatment Noted
production of each localized PWHT equipment opera-tor.
For automatic and semi-automatic processes, the first weld
produced at each welding station per shift shall be hardness Noted
tested.
