WORLEY DOC NO.: 15963-2171-NOCPL-GE010-0009 REV: 00

7.2.3 Single Wall Viewing

For materials and for weld components, a technique will be used in which the radiation
passes through the two walls and only weld (material) on the film side wall is viewed
for acceptance. An adequate number of exposures shall be made to ensure that the
required coverage has been made. At least 3 exposures at 120° to each other for
complete coverage shall be taken.

7.2.4 Double Wall Viewing

For materials and for welds in components 3/1/2 (88mm) of less in nominal outside
diameter, a technique will be used in which the radiation passes through two wall and
the weld (material) in both walls is viewed for acceptance on the same radiograph. For
double wall viewing only a source side Penetrameter shall be used. Care will be
exercised to ensure that where the required geometric unsharpness requirement
cannot be met, then the single wall viewing shall be used.

For welds, the radiation will be offset from the plane of the weld at an angle sufficient to
separate the image of the source side and film side portions of the welds so that there
is no overlap of the areas to be interpret. When complete coverage is required, a
minimum of two exposures taken 90 to each other shall be made for each joint.

7.2.5 Double Wall Superimpose Technique:

As an alternative, the weld may be radiographed with the radiation beam positioned so
that the images of both wall are superimposed. When complete coverage is required a
minimum of three exposures taken at either 60 or 120 to each other shall be made for
each joint

Additional exposures shall be made if the required radiographic coverage cannot be

obtained using the minimum number of exposures indicated.

7.2.6 Panoramic

7.6 Back scattering of radiation

A lead symbol “B” with minimum dimensions of 1/2” in height and 1/16” in thickness shall
be attached to the back of each film cassette during each exposure to determine if
backscatter radiation is exposing the film.

8.0 FILM PROCESSING

8.1 Developing of the exposed films should be done in the air conditioned dark room. The dark
room shall be divided into two sections one (dry zone) for loading and unloading the films
and other zone (wet zone) for processing the films. Film developer shall be maintained at
20℃±1°C or as recommended by film /manufacturer.

8.2 Details of Film loading: - Film shall be loaded in a darkroom under safe light. The
temperature of the chemical shall be 20°C ± 1°C or as specified. The film shall be unloaded
in hangers/spools carefully to avoid any marks. The manual processing involves the
followings steps. All the steps shall be performed on a test film initially to determine any
effect of processing.

8.3 Developer:- Developing time shall be recommended by film manufacturer varies from 3 to 5
minutes for class II films & 4 to 6 for class I film.

8.4 Stop Bath: - After development is complete, the activity of developer is remaining in the
emulsion should be neutralized by an acid stop bath or, if this is not possible by rinsing with
vigorous agitation in clean water. The stop bath is water with 2% of acetic acid per gallon of
water, to arrest developing of films are immersed in a stop bath for 30 second in the stop.

8.5 Fixer: - To remove the excess silver grains from unexposed or less exposed part of film &
to harden base of film, the hangers / spool shall be immersed in fixer. The films must not
touch one another in the fixer. Agitate the hangers vertically for about 10s and again at the
end of the first minute, to ensure uniform and rapid fixation. Keep them in the fixer until
fixation is complete (that is, at least twice the clearing tin than 15 min in relatively fresh fixer.
Frequent agitation will shorten the time of fixation).

8.6 Running Water:-

Films shall be kept in running water tank where excess fixer will be wash troll of the film,
wash at least for 30 minutes. The washing efficiency is function of wash water, its
temperature and flow and the film being washed. Generally washing is very slow below 16°
C. When washing at temp above 30° C, care should be exercised not to leave films in the
water too long. The films should be washed in the batches without contamination from new
film brought over from the fixer. If pressed for capacity, as more films are put in the wash,
partially washed should be moved in the direction of the inlet.

8.7 Wetting Agent:-

The film shall be dipped in wetting solution before drying for approximately 30 s this would
facilitate quick and even drying and avoid watermarks.

8.8 Drying:-

Films shall be dried in open space or in dryer with circulating hot air less than 55°C.

9.0 INTERPRETATION

9.1 The films to be interpreted shall be free from the film defects on the area to be evaluated as
listed below. If film defects appear on the image of weld, such films shall be re-
radiographed.
