    AWS D1.6 - Annex E

    Uploaded by

    reezman
    This document presents standards for discontinuity acceptance criteria for stainless steel structural welds. It includes figures that define acceptance limits for the size and location of discontinuities detected by radiography. Discontinuities are classified and examples are given of acceptable and unacceptable indications based on their size, shape, and proximity to other discontinuities or edges. Requirements are specified separately for welds in tension or compression applications.

    Notes:
    1. CMinimum clearance allowed between edges of discontinuities 3/32 in. [2.5 mm] or larger (per Figure E.1). Larger of adjacent discontinuities governs.
    2. X1Largest permissible elongated discontinuity for 1-1/8 in. [30 mm] joint thickness (see Figure E.1).
    3. X2Multiple discontinuities within a length permitted by Figure E.1 may be handled as a single discontinuity.
    4. X3X4Rounded type discontinuity less than 3/32 in. [2.5 mm].
    5. X5Rounded type discontinuities in a cluster. Such a cluster having a maximum of 3/4 in. [20 mm] for all pores in the cluster shall be treated as requiring the same clearance as a
    3/4 in. long discontinuity of Figure E.1.
    Interpretation: Rounded and elongated discontinuities are acceptable as shown. All are within the size limits and the minimum clearance allowed between discontinuities or the end of
    a weld joint.
