NONDESTRUCTIVE TESTING OF WELDS


Nondestructive Testing (NDT)
NDT is the term used to designate those testing methods that
allow material to be examined without impairing material
usefulness and serviceability.

Discontinuity

a lack of continuity or cohesion; an


intentional or unintentional interruption in the
physical structure or configuration of a
material.

OTHER TESTS AND EXAMINATIONS


Radiographic Examination

QW-191.1 Method
The radiographic examination in
QW-142 for welders and in QW-143 for welding operators
shall meet the requirements of Article 2, Section V,
except as follows:
(a) A written radiographic examination procedure is
not required. Demonstration of density and image quality
requirements on production or technique radiographs
shall be considered satisfactory evidence of compliance
with Article 2 of Section V.
(b) Final acceptance of radiographs shall be based on
the ability to see the prescribed image and the specified
hole of a hole-type image quality indicator (IQI) or the
designated wire of a wire-type IQI. The acceptance standards
of QW-191.2 shall be met.
Note: Requires approved written procedure and personnel certification

American Society of Mechanical Engineers
Founded in 1880

ASME was founded in 1880 by prominent mechanical engineers, led


by Alexander Lyman Holley (1832-1882), Henry Rossiter
Worthington (1817-1880), and John Edson Sweet (1832-1916).

American Society for Testing and Materials
Founded in 1898

ASTM International, originally known as the American Society for Testing


and Materials (ASTM), was formed over a century ago, when a forwardthinking group of engineers and scientists got together to address
frequent rail breaks in the burgeoning railroad industry.

American Petroleum Institute
Founded in 1919

The American Petroleum Institute was established on March 20, 1919


API's mission is to influence public policy in support of a strong, viable
U.S. oil and natural gas industry essential to meet the energy needs of
consumers in an efficient, environmentally responsible manner.

American Welding Society
Founded in 1919

The American Welding Society (AWS) was founded in 1919 as a multifaceted, nonprofit organization with a
goal to advance the science, technology and application of welding and related joining disciplines. From
factory floor to high-rise construction, from military weaponry to home products, AWS continues to lead the
way in supporting welding education and technology development to ensure a strong, competitive and
exciting way of life for all Americans.
