    NOTE 1 Notches are rectangular or U-shaped.
    NOTE 2 For electromagnetic inspection, it might be necessary for the reference standard to contain OD notches, ID notches,
    and a radially drilled hole (see E.5.3.4).
    a It is not necessary to locate reference indicators in the weld.

    b Drilled hole diameters are based on standard drill-bit sizes. A hole is not required if a notch is used to establish the reject
    threshold.
    c Depth is expressed as a percentage of the specified wall thickness. It is not necessary that the depth be less than
    0.3 mm (0.012 in.). The depth tolerance is r 15 % of the specified notch depth or r 0.05 mm (0.002 in.), whichever is the greater.
    d Length at full depth.

    e Required if a notch is used to establish reject threshold.

    f Not required.
    g At the option of the manufacturer, N10 notches or 3.2 mm (0.125 in.) holes may be used (see Table E.8 for applicable acceptance
    limits).
    h At the option of the manufacturer, for SAW and COW seams, the reject threshold may be established using weld-edge notches or
    weld-edge radially drilled holes.
    i Either a transverse notch or a 1.6 mm (0.063 in.) radially drilled hole is required.
    j At the option of the manufacturer, the notches may be oriented at an angle that would facilitate the detection of anticipated
    defects.
    k Required for pipe with D •60.3 mm (2.375 in.) if a notch is used to establish the reject threshold.

    l If agreed, the reference standard shall contain OD and ID notches and a radially drilled hole.
