Procedure

5.1.3.2 Annual calibration, a complete calibration by a certified laboratory shall be performed


every 12 months.

5.1.3.3 The equipment shall be calibrated in accordance with manufacturer's instructions.

5.1.4 Surface preparation

The surface on which the impression is to be made shall be clean and completely free of scale
oxides, grease, paints etc. as specified by the instrument manufacturer, cleaning may be
done by machining, polishing or any mechanicals process.

5.1.5 Number or readings

5.1.5.1 For welded joints

- Each weld shall be covered by minimum one location, in this location five readings shall be taken
(weld metal. 2 HAZ, 2 base metal) across the face of weld Axis, at each reading minimum three
values to be taken and averaged to determine hardness value

5.1.5.2 for areas of arc strike removal and temporary attachment removal

- For areas of arc strike removal, minimum of three readings to be taken and averaged to determine
hardness value.

- For areas of temporary attachment removal, the area shall be divided into four quarters; three
readings to be taken and averaged at each quarter to determine hardness value.

5.1.5.3 If test results do not meet the requirements, three additional readings on the same area of
interest shall be taken.

5.1.6 Temperature

Test to be carried out at ambient temperature (4 -38) °C.

5.1.7 Acceptance criteria

5.1.7.1 1 Hardness value shall be within acceptable value as stated in code or client specification,
which in any case shall not exceed the value of 225 HB

5.1.7.2 lithe hardness value doses not meet the required value, a NCR shall be issued and to be
raised to the client.

5.1.8 Repair work

5.1.8.1 Repair works shall be conducted according DD repair procedure No. (HAC-CM-GOO-DC-
00017)
