Title
Guide for the Nondestructive Examination of Welds
American Welding Society
Publication Date:
Jan 1, 2009
Scope:
This standard provides a reference guide for the kinds of
nondestructive examination methods that are used to verify that
welds meet the requirements of a code or specification. The
nondestructive examination methods described are:
(1) Visual
(2) Penetrant
(3) Magnetic Particle
(4) Radiographic
(5) Ultrasonic
(6) Electromagnetic
(7) Leak
The types of discontinuities detected with each method are
disclosed and their causes discussed. Acceptance criteria are not
addressed in this standard. Such requirements may be in the
application code. Requirements for nondestructive examination and
acceptance criteria not provided in the application should be the
specified in procurement documents prior the award of
contracts.
Nondestructive examination (NDE) is a general term used in this
text to identify the common inspection methods for evaluation of
welds and related materials without destroying their
usefulness.
Principal factors to consider when choosing an inspection method
are the advantages and limitations of the method, anticipated type
and size of discontinuity, acceptance standards, and cost. Annex A
is a guide to process selection.
AWS has chosen nondestructive examination (NDE) as the preferred
terminology for these inspection methods. In other standards,
literature, and industry usage, other expressions are commonly
used. Among these are: nondestructive evaluation (NDE),
nondestructive inspection (NDI), and nondestructive testing (NDT).
It must be emphasized that all of these expressions are commonly
used and may be considered equivalent.
