3. PREPARATION FOR CONTROL

3.1. Radiographic testing should be carried out after eliminating external defects discovered during an external inspection of the welded joint and cleaning it from irregularities, slag, spattered metal, scale and other contaminants, the images of which on the image may interfere with the decoding of the image.

3.2. After cleaning the welded joint and eliminating external defects, the welded joint must be marked into sections and the sections must be marked (numbered).

3.1, 3.2. (Changed edition, Amendment No. 1).

3.3. The system for marking and marking areas is established by technical documentation for inspection or acceptance of welded joints.

3.4. When monitoring, sensitivity standards and markings must be installed on each section.

3.5. Sensitivity standards should be installed in the controlled area on the side facing the radiation source.

3.6. Wire standards should be installed directly on the seam with the wires directed across the seam.

3.7. Groove standards should be installed at a distance of at least 5 mm from the seam with the direction of the grooves across the seam.

3.8. Plate standards should be installed along the seam at a distance of at least 5 mm from it or directly on the seam with the direction of the standard across the seam so that the images of the standard markings do not overlap the image of the seam in the photograph.

3.9. When inspecting circumferential welds of pipelines with a diameter of less than 100 mm, it is allowed to install groove standards at a distance of at least 5 mm from the seam with the grooves directed along the seam.

3.10. If it is impossible to install standards from the side of the radiation source when monitoring welded joints of cylindrical, spherical and other hollow products through two walls with deciphering only the area of ​​the welded joint adjacent to the film, as well as during panoramic scanning, it is allowed to install sensitivity standards from the side of the cassette with film.

3.11.(Deleted, Amendment No. 1).

3.12. Markings used to limit the length of sections of welded joints controlled during one exposure should be installed at the boundaries of the marked sections, as well as at the boundaries of the deposited and base metal when monitoring welded joints without reinforcement or with the weld reinforcement removed.

3.13. Markings used for numbering inspected areas should be installed on the inspected area or directly on the film cassette so that the images of the markings on the photographs do not overlap with the image of the seam in the heat-affected zone.

3.14. If it is impossible to install sensitivity standards and (or) markings in the controlled area of ​​the welded joint in accordance with the requirements of this standard, the procedure for conducting inspection without installing sensitivity standards and (or) markings must be provided for in the technical documentation for inspection or acceptance of welded joints.

4. CONTROL SCHEME

4.1. Welded joints should be controlled by and.

4.2. If the width of the welded element is limited, it is allowed to control T-welded joints with the direction of radiation along the generatrix of this element in accordance with.

4.2a. When inspecting circumferential welded joints of cylindrical and spherical hollow products, one should, as a rule, use transmission schemes through one wall of the product (diagrams, Fig. 5 A, b, e, and, h). In this case, it is recommended to use transillumination schemes with the location of the radiation source inside the controlled product:

5.1, 5.2 (Changed edition, Amendment No. 1).

for butt and overlap joints:

not less than 5 mm - with thickness of welded edges up to 5 mm;

not less than the thickness of the welded edges - with a thickness of the welded edges of St. 5 to 20 mm;

not less than 20 mm - with a thickness of welded edges of St. 20 mm;

for T-joints and corner connections - is established by the technical documentation for the control or acceptance of these connections.

6. DECODING IMAGES

6.1. Viewing and decoding of photographs should be done after they have completely dried in a darkened room using special illuminators-negatoscopes.

You should use X-ray cameras with adjustable brightness and size of the illuminated field. The maximum brightness of the illuminated field must be at least 10 D + 2 cd/m 2, where D- optical density of the image. The size of the illuminated field must be adjusted using movable curtains or mask screens within such limits that the illuminated field is completely covered by the image.

(Changed edition, Amendment No. 1).

6.2. Photos accepted for colorization must meet the following requirements:

The photographs should not contain spots, stripes, dirt or damage to the emulsion layer that would make them difficult to decipher;

The photographs must show images of limit marks, markings and sensitivity standards;

the optical density of the images of the controlled weld area, the heat-affected zone and the sensitivity standard must be at least 1.5;

the decrease in the optical density of the image of the welded joint in any area of ​​this image compared to the optical density of the image of the sensitivity standard should not exceed 1.0.

6.3. The sensitivity of the control (the smallest diameter of the wire of a wire standard identified in the image, the smallest depth of the groove of a groove standard identified in the image, the smallest thickness of the plate standard at which a hole with a diameter equal to twice the thickness of the standard is revealed in the image) should not exceed the values ​​​​given in.
