    1.1 ASME B31.3, Acceptance Criteria 1.2: Acceptance Criteria For Weld Defects As Per Different Code

    Uploaded by

    STEPHEN RAJAN
    The document outlines acceptance criteria for weld defects according to ASME B31.3 code. It details requirements for butt welds such as limits on undercut and excess penetration. It also covers fillet welds and specifies they can vary from convex to concave. The document concludes with a flow chart outlining progressive sampling methods for nondestructive weld examinations according to the code.

    ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA FOR WELD DEFECTS AS PER DIFFERENT CODE Date of origin:

    1.1 ASME B31.3, Acceptance Criteria

    1.2 Butt Welds

    1.2.1 As-welded surfaces are permitted; however, the surface of welds shall be sufficiently
    free from grooves, overlaps &undercut.

    1.2.2 The surface condition of the finished welds shall be suitable for the proper
    interpretation of nondestructive examinations when nondestructive examinations
    are required.

    1.2.3 Undercuts shall not exceed 1/32 in. and shall not encroach on the minimum required
    section thickness.

    1.2.4 For single-welded joints (i.e., butt joints welded from one side), concavity of the root
    surface shall not reduce the total thickness of the joint, including reinforcement, to
    less than the nominal thickness of the thinner component being joined.
    1.2.5 For single welded joints, the excess root penetration shall be limited to the lesser of
    1
    /8 in. or 25 % of the nominal wall thickness of the thinner component being
    joined, down to ¼ in. wall thickness. For any nominal wall thickness less than ¼
    in., the excess penetration shall be limited to 1/16 in.
    1.2.6 Weld reinforcement greater than the amounts specified in the weld reinforcement
    table at the end of this attachment shall be considered unacceptable.

    1.3 Fillet Welds

    1.3.1 As-welded surfaces are permitted; however, the surface of welds shall be sufficiently
    free from grooves, overlaps & undercut.

    1.3.2 The surface condition of the finished welds shall be suitable for the proper
    interpretation of nondestructive examinations.

    1.3.3 Fillet welds may vary from convex to concave. The size of a fillet weld is
    determined as shown in fillet weld diagrams at the end of this attachment. Typical
    minimum fillet weld details for slip-on flanges and welding components are also
    contained in fillet weld diagrams at the end of this attachment.

    1.4 Progressive sampling for nondestructive examinations of welds shall be in accordance.

    PROGRESSIVE SAMPLING FOR ASME B31.3 NDT Examination

    SELECT SAMPLE OF WELDS FROM WELDER’S WORK

    IF BOTH ADDITIONAL WELDS ACCEPTABLE, BALANCE OF WELDS IN LOT ARE CON

    IF ACCEPTABLE, ALL WELDS IN THE ONE WELD ACCEPTABLE,


    VT For WELDING LOT ARE CONSIDERED ACCEPTABLE ONE WELD REJECTED UT TWO
    ADDITIONAL WELDS
    IF EITHER WELD IS REJECTED, ALL WELDS BY THE WELDER IN THIS LOT SHALL B

    IF ALL FOUR WELDS ARE ACCEPTABLE, BALANCE OF WELDS IN LOT


    CTABLE DEFECTS, R E P A I R E D & SELECT TWO ADDITIONAL WELDS FROM SAME LOT CONSIDERED ACCEPTABLE
    DP TWO ADDITIONAL WELDS

    UT FOUR
    ADDITIONAL WELDS
    IF ANY OF THESE FOUR WELDS IS REJECTED, ALL
    WELDS BY THE WELDER IN THIS LOT SHALL BE
    IF BOTH WELDS ACCEPTABLE, BALANCE OF WELDS IN THE LOT ARE CONSIDERED ACCEPTABLE 100% UT/RT
    Notes: BOTH WELDS REJECTED
    (1) All rejected welds must be repaired or replaced as necessary to meet applicable quality standards.
    (2) Welder may be required to demonstrate ability to perform welds meeting the quality standards.
    (3) Progressive sampling may also be applied for required visual examination (VT).
    (4) The Flow chart may be applied with UT ,RT,DP
