8.2 Circumferential butt, branch, fillet and seal welds

8.2.1
Amount of examination
The type of NDT required and its extent shall be determined in accordance with Table 8.2-1, taking into account the
piping category the piping is classified to.
The following additional conditions shall apply:
a)
For piping where creep or fatigue is the controlling factor in design, it shall be assigned to piping category III
for determining the extent of NDT, irrespective of PS and DN;
b)
For piping in material groups 1.1, 1.2, and 8.1, in piping classes I or II, volumetric testing shall be a minimum
of 10 % of circumferential butt and branch welds irrespective of PS and DN, if the piping is > DN 25 and
contains very toxic or extremely flammable fluids;
c)
Where the specified NDT level is 5 %, this shall apply to the first 100 welds made. Where no unacceptable
imperfections are identified in this sample, the level of testing may be reduced to an overall level of 2 %.
However, the minimum number of welds examined shall be 5. All other requirements given in 8.1.2 shall
apply;
d)
For the circumferential welds where the calculated stresses across the weld (as determined using
EN 13480-3) are below 70 % of the nominal design stress for the design conditions, the amount of testing may
be reduced by 50 % of the values given in Table 8.2-1;
e)
Piping for steam and superheated water (water at a pressure greater than 0,5 bar and at a temperature equal
to or greater than 110 C) shall be subject to the following NDT:
where PS DN 5 000, 100 % volumetric testing of butt and branch welds;
where PS DN 3 500, 25 % volumetric testing of butt and branch welds;
together with other testing specified in Table 8.2-1 for the combination of material, piping category and
thickness;
NOTE For piping operating at 100 C or more, at least 10 % of socket welds should be radiographed to confirm that an
adequate expansion gap has been achieved.
f)
16
For the selection of the appropriate NDT method for volumetric testing, see Table 8.4-4.

Dissimilar metal joints
The test methods and extent of testing for joints between ferritic and other materials (e.g. austenitic, nickel-based
alloys) shall be according to the highest material group which is applicable to the base materials.
8.3 Longitudinal welds

Longitudinal welds, except those in components made to material specifications acceptable to this European
Standard, shall be subject to the level of NDT appropriate to the joint coefficient required (see Table 8.3-1).
