5.0 TECHNIQUE
5.1 Surface preparation
Prepare the weld surface by removing weld ripples or weld profile irregularities on
both sides (where accessible) by any suitable process to such a degree that the
resulting radiographic image due to any irregularities can not mask or be confused
with the image of any discontinuity. The finished surface of all butt‐welded joints may
have reasonably uniform crowns, with reinforcement on each side of all butt‐welded
joints.The weld reinforcement shall not exceed the applicable standard specified
values.
5.2 Radiographs shall be made with a single source of radiation centered as near as
practicable with respect to the length and width of that portion of the weld being
examined.
5.3 A single wall exposure technique shall be used whenever practical, when it is not
practical to use a single wall technique, a double wall technique shall be used. An
adequate number of exposures shall be made to demonstrate that the required
coverage has been obtained.
5.4 IQI(s) selection, placement and number.
5.4.1 The IQI(s) shall be selected and placed across the length of the weld or in the
area of interest being radiographed
a) For welds without reinforcement.
The thickness on which the IQI(s) will be based is the nominal single wall
thickness. Backing rings or strips are not to be considered as part of the
weld thickness.
b) For welds with reinforcement.
The thickness on which the IQI(s) will be selected will be based on the
nominal single wall material thickness plus the weld reinforcement
thickness estimated to be present on both sides of the weld (I.D and O.D).
The values used for the estimated weld reinforcement thickness shall be
representative of the weld conditions and shall not exceed the maximum
permitted by the referencing code section. Physical measurement of the
actual weld reinforcements is not required. Backing rings or strips shall not
be considered as part of the thickness in IQI selection.
5.4.2 Joining Dissimilar Materials or Welds with Dissimilar Filler Metal. When the
weld metal is of an alloy group or grade that has a radiation attenuation that
differs from the base material, the IQI material selection shall be based on the
weld metal and be in accordance with T‐276.1. When the density limits of T‐
282.2 cannot be met with one IQI, and the exceptional density area(s) is at the
interface of the weld metal and the base metal, the material selection for the
additional IQI shall be based on the base material and be in accordance with T‐
276.1
Revise No.: 00
(GAMMA RAY)
5.4.3 The number of IQI(s) to be used shall be in accordance with T‐277.2 of ASME V,
which is based on the length of radiographed, nominal base metal thickness,
type of structures tubular of nontubular, etc.
5 .4 .4 IQI shall be placed on source side of the part being examined, except for the
condition describe in 5.4.5
When, due to part or weld configuration or size, it is not practical to place the
IQI(s) on the part or weld, the IQI(s) may be placed on a separate block.
Separate blocks shall be made of the same or radiographically similar materials
(as defined in SE‐1025 for hole type or SE‐747 for wire type) and may be used
to facilitate IQI positioning. There is no restriction on the separate block
thickness, provided the IQI/area‐of‐interest density tolerance requirements of
s e ct i on 8 .1 o f th i s p r oce du re are met
5.4.5 Where inaccessibility prevents hand placing the IQI(s) on the source side, the
IQI(s) shall be place on the film side in contact with the part being examined. A
letter “F” shall be place adjacent to or on the IQI(s).
5.4.6 Placement for Welds – Wire IQIs. The IQI(s) shall be placed on the weld so that
the length of the wires a r e t r an s ve r se to t h e l on g i t u d in a l axis of the weld. The
identification numbers and, when used, the lead letter “F,” shall not be in the
area of interest, except when geometric configuration makes it impractical
5.4.7 IQI Placement for Materials Other Than Welds. The IQI(s) with the IQI
identification number(s), and, when used, the lead letter “F,” shall be placed in
the area of interest
5.4.8 Number of IQIs. When one or more film holders are used for an exposure, at
least one IQI image shall appear on each radiograph except as outlined in (b)
below.

(1.5 mm.) thickness, shall be attached to the back of each film holder during each
exposure to determine if back scatter radiation is exposing the film. The lead symbol
“B” shall be placed in a location so that it would be appear an area on the radiograph
that meets requirements of 8.1 b). If a light image of the “B” appears on a darker
background of the film, that radiograph shall be considered unacceptable. A dark
image of the “B” on a lighter background is not cause for rejection.
6.0 LOCATION MARKERS AND FILM IDENTIFICATION

6.1 Location markers, which shall appear as radiographic images on the radiograph, shall
be placed on the part, not on the exposure holder/cassette. Their locations shall be
permanently marked on the surface of the part being radiographed when permitted,
or on a map, in a manner permitting the area on a radiograph to be accurately
traceable to its location on the part, for the required retention period of the
radiograph. In addition, their locations do not limit the area of interest or the area to
be interpreted. Evidence shall also be provided on the radiograph that the required
coverage of the region being examined has been obtained. Location markers shall be
placed as follows
6.2 Lead number location markers (film interval numbers or identification numbers), which
are to appear as images on the film, shall be placed on the material adjacent to the
weld at the marks located in 6.1 and as follow:
6.2.1 Location markers shall be placed on the source side when radiographing joints

the component.
3. Curved or spherical components whose convex side is facing toward the
source.
6.2.2 Location markers shall be placed on the film side when radiographing joints in
curved or spherical components whose concave side is toward the source and
when the source to material distance is greater than the inside radius.

minimum number of markers shall be used to provide evidence that the
required coverage has been obtained.
6.3.2 For double wall viewing, at least one location marker shall be placed on the
outside surface adjacent to the weld for each exposure.
6.4 Lead markers shall be used to produce on each radiograph an identification that is
traceable to the item being radiographed and that is permanent for the retention
period of the radiograph. This identification system does not necessarily require that
the information appear as radiographic images, in any case, this information shall not
obscure the area of interest. Permanent mark on each film shall have the following
information:
[1] Project or Job Number
[2] Serial or Line number or Item Identification

ATTACHMENT NO. II: SAFETY PROCEDURE

1) GENERAL:
The purpose of this procedure is to make employees fully aware of their responsibilities
regarding personal safety and the safe usage of radioactive sources and / or irradiating
apparatus no set of rules can guarantee safety at work co-operation and common sense are
required as well, from all parties concerned, if incidents and accidents. These safety
procedures are based on the requirement of Thai laws, and have been approved.
2) OPERATOR'S RESPONSIBILITY:
No person shall operate any irradiating apparatus or radioactive substance without the use
and knowledge of application of
2.1) A functional radiation survey meter.
2.2) A functional personal radiation monitor, a dosimeter and or film badge.
3) WORKING RULES:
3.1 ) Handling and usage of radiographic equipment
- Before proceeding to the job site, the radiographer has to ensure that radiographic
testing team has radiation monitoring as below (at least)
1 unit/team ‐ functional radiation (monitor) survey meter
1 unit/team – audible alarm
1 set/person – film badge
2 set/team – flashlight
2 set/team – radiation warning sign
Any abnormalities or irregularities in the operation of the equipment shall
immediately be reported to management for corrective action and maintenance.
- During the transport of gamma radiography equipment, the source container is to
be secured to the vehicle to prevent any accidental shift under conditions normally
expected during transport, and located in or on the vehicle so that the radiation
dose received by any person traveling in the vehicle is minimized and within safe
limits. Only radiation workers are permitted in the vehicle and the dose rate to any
persons shall be verified to be less than 20 uSv (micro seivert) per hour by
measurement before commencing the journey, at appropriate times during the
journey and on arrival at destination.
3.2) Working rule for an open site ( Field)
a) On first arriving at the site, the operator shall:
- advise the person responsible for the area in which the radiography site will
be set up of the intended operations and the estimated amount of time
required to complete the work, and
- ascertain the nature, duration and location of all other work to be performed
in the vicinity of the site and the possible points of entry to the site.
Revise No.: 00
(GAMMA RAY)
b) Before commencing exposures, a well‐defined and clearly visible boundary shall

be erected around the site, including above and below as necessary, such that
the does rate at the boundary shall not exceed 25 uGy/hr during exposures. This
shall be checked periodically by the operator by means of a survey meter. The
boundary shall be marked with radiation warning signs. Warning lights shall be
used to indicate that an exposure is under way. The area within the boundary
shall be kept under surveillance at all times during exposures to ensure that no
person enters it or remains within it. Unnecessary occupation of areas near the
boundary shall be avoided.
c) The boundaries of adjacent exposure sites shall not overlap. If an overlap is
unavoidable, close liaison shall be maintained between operators responsible for
the overlapping sites to avoid accidental exposure.
d) The operator shall, according to appropriate advice prepared by the Engineer,
ensure that dose rates in occupied areas are such that no member of the public
will receive a dose exceeding 1 mSv per year from radiography performed within
the site.
e) A second person, who is capable of promptly taking charge in an emergency,
shall be immediately available to assist during industrial radiographic exposures.
The second person, the assistant industrial radiographer, shall be a radiation
worker. This person shall be thoroughly familiar with the equipment and its use,
the approved working rules and emergency procedures appropriate to work and
the relevant requirements.
f) At all times, collimators shall be used to restrict the area of primary radiation
beam to the minimum necessary for radiography. Radiography equipment and
the item to be radiographed shall be set up so that each of components,
particularly the X-ray tube or the source, are stable and therefore will not move
during the exposure.
g) Before commencing an exposure the operator shall ensure by inspection the all
unauthorized persons are outside the boundary and that the assistant operators
are in an area where the dose rate is as low as, or lower than, where he or she is.
h) Just prior to commencing an exposure, a signal shall be given to warn persons
within a reasonable distance that an exposure is about to take place.
i) A personal radiation monitoring device and a personal dosimeter shall be worn
by the operator and assistant operators at all times during industrial radiography
operations.
j) The operator shall continually check the radiation level at his or her location
during exposure using a survey meter.
k) The operator alone shall exercise control over:
- The radiation source during exposure; and
- The occupancy of the site during the period of exposure of the source by
continuous and competent supervision of the site.
Revise No.: 00
(GAMMA RAY)
l) Care shall be taken at all times to ensure that unauthorized persons cannot
operate the equipment.
m) Before a site is vacated. The operator shall ensure, by monitoring, that all
radiation source are locked in the fully shielded condition or switched off, as
appropriate, and returned to the source container store or to the transport
vehicle and that all boundary-defining equipment has been removed. The
operator shall inform the person responsible for the area when this has been
carried out.
