5.0 METHODOLOGY
Accidental arc Strike or arc Burn on the pipe surface outside the weld, which are caused by
electrical arc between the electrode, electrode holder, welding cable and the pipe or by an in-
appropriate or poorly fitted earth clamps. Such Arc Strikes shall be smoothened by careful
grinding.
The ground area shall be blended with the adjoining pipe surface by smooth transition and shall
avoid notches and stress concentration. After completion of the grinding work the thickness of the
ground area shall be checked with ultrasonic thickness gauge.
The pipe wall thickness after grinding shall not be less than the minimum thickness limit permitted
for the pipe. If the thickness is found to be less than acceptable tolerance limits, then the piece
