    This document outlines mandatory minimum nondestructive examination requirements for pressure welds or welds to pressure-retaining components based on piping design conditions and temperatures. It specifies that butt welds over a certain size must receive volumetric examination, while smaller ones can receive magnetic particle or liquid penetrant examination. Branch connections also have size cutoffs for the type of required nondestructive examination. Fillet, socket, and seal welds of all sizes must receive liquid penetrant or magnetic particle examination. The document provides additional notes on terminology, alternative examinations allowed, and acceptance standards.

    GENERAL NOTES:
    (a) All welds shall be given a visual examination in addition to the type of specific nondestructive examination specified.
    (b) NPS — nominal pipe size; DN — diameter nominal.
    (c) RT — radiographic examination; UT — ultrasonic examination; MT — magnetic particle examination; PT — liquid penetrant examination; VT — visual examination.
    (d) For nondestructive examinations of the pressure retaining component, refer to the standards listed in Table 126.1 or manufacturing specifications.
    (e) Acceptance standards for nondestructive examinations performed are as follows: MT — see para. 136.4.3; PT — see para. 136.4.4; VT — see para. 136.4.2; RT — see para. 136.4.5;
    UT — see para. 136.4.6.
    (f) All longitudinal welds and spiral welds in pipe intended for sustained operation in the creep range (see paras. 104.1.1 and 123.4, and Table 102.4.7) must receive and pass a
    100% volumetric examination (RT or UT) per the applicable material specification or in accordance with para. 136.4.5 or 136.4.6.
    NOTES:
    (1) The thickness of butt welds is defined as the thicker of the two abutting ends after end preparation.
    (2) RT may be used as an alternative to PT or MT when it is performed in accordance with para. 136.4.5.
    (3) Volumetric examination (RT or UT) of branch welds shall be performed before any nonintegral reinforcing material is applied.
    (4) In lieu of volumetric examination (RT, UT) of welded branch connections when required above, surface examination (PT, MT) is acceptable and, when used, shall be performed at the
    lesser of one-half of the weld thickness or each 1⁄2 in. (12.5 mm) of weld thickness and all accessible final weld surfaces.
    (5) Branch thickness is tnb as defined in para. 127.4.8, Fig. 127.4.8(D), and Fig. 127.4.8(E).
    (6) Fillet welds not exceeding 1⁄4 in. (6 mm) throat thickness which are used for the permanent attachment of nonpressure retaining parts are exempt from the PT or MT requirements of
    the above Table.
