E4 Qualification of personnel 4.2. Final non-destructive inspection shall be performed by Level 2 or 3 personnel, All Level 2 personnel shall be qualified and cerified by a Level 3 who has a current ASNT certificate (or Company pproved equivalent) in each of the NDT methods for which the Level 2 certifications are being approved. ‘Acartent ist of qualitied NDI peesonne! isto he presented to Company prior o using the personnel E.2 Standard practice for Inspection For automatic excmination of strip’plate edges and areas adjacent to the weld seam skelp edges, the sensitivity shall he bused on @ 6 mm flat bottomed hole. The acceptance level stall be as per Table K.1 in API SL. Any signals greater than the primary reference level are suspect Any lamination open to the skelp edge is unacceptable, regardless of siz. ‘Through-tranemission type probe systems should not be used for lamination detection, For angle beara inspection of weld sezms, the primary reference level should be set at ® 80% of Full Screen Height. Any areas of the pipe preducing signals greater or equal to the primary referenee level shall be ‘considered suspect. For production scanning, the yuin shall be ineceased by » 3 dB to compensate for system drift and deterioration ef equipment.

Probe shae or wear face surfaces shall have their radius conform to the diameter of the pipe surface, or the shape of the weld bead, to ensure intimate contact between the surface to be inspected and the prohe wear face, Maximum element sizes should be 12.7 mm for inspection by angle beam probes, and 25.4 mm for inspection by straight beam probe. For detcetion of laminar imperfections by manual and automatic systems, initially, the signal height from the plate back wall in the reference standard should be set from 60% to 90% of Full Screen Height (FSI). he gain should then be increased to set the signal from the respective edge or body reflector at 100% FSH. Automatic equipment shall have @ minimum of two independent gates so that the flaw gate shall be set with positive logic ($0% FSH), und the buckwall gate shell be set with negative logic (=20% ’SH), ‘Wheeled angle beam ultrasonic inspection systems are not aceeptable for weld seam angle beam inspection. ‘Computed radiography systems shall he in accordance with ASTM E 2445, {HIS INFORMATION FOR AUTHORIZED PROJECT USE ONLY EXXON Nefteon mite ‘Sakhalin-1 Specifications for | RUSD-ENE-HI-YS-61600.4002 Arkutun Dagi Onshore | Line Pipe for Stress Pipelines and Facilities | Based Design | 15Apr 2009_| Page 20 of 26 3 Methods of inspection E34 General E214 For all methods of pipe manufacture, reflectors) stall be placed a the ens of the reference ada to ieatify Tenth of pipe onthe end not nepected by UT probes Ip order to Senay lent all pprprae probes shall slam onthe retlecto(), bat entering and esitng the reference stand, E314 (Added) Manual utrasonic inspection (MUT) Man rani inspection shal be in aecorance with ISO 17640 Daring angle bear scanning, alight swiveling mation upto an angle of about 10° shal be applied 0 the pote, Inspection of suspect eras for longtainal imperfection inthe weld zoe shall be performed by at est fo diferent probe angles, The pre whch prodoses the highest ampitide response shall be wed for seceptanee ection ofthe imperection Inspection for ansverse imperfections in the weld shal be performed with 25° probe, with the probe ‘one bea For portable MUT egupmen, version of Screen Height Linearity and Amplitde Linearity shall be performed atthe hepinning of production evry tice moths For production scanning, gain sal be > 6 4B over the primary reference lve.
