5. ASME B 16.25: Buttwelding Ends 7) This ITR is based on year 2016 MESC. User shall ensure the applicable versions of MESC and Intls Standards
are as per PO
8) Lighting levels shall be 1000 lux for Visual Inspection. No surface breaking discontinuities are permitted
9) Removal / tampering of original manufacturer marking on the bought out materials/ forgings is prohibited).
10) No substitution of materials is permitted
11) No weld repairs are permitted on base materials without PDO consent.
12) Final inspection by TPI not substitute for materials requiring 3.2 certification.
13) These requirements are based on PDO specifications for standard items. Based on project needs further
