NDE for pipeline welded branch
NDE for pipeline welded branch
(OP)
For the construction of a 26" OD, wall thickness .375" NGL pipeline, API 5L Gr.X52, DP=900 psig, I have specified 100% radiographic inspection for butt welds in accordance with owner's practices.
My concern is regarding branch welds. For this case, is ultrasonic examination more adequate than RT?

For ultrasonics see ASME S164 (I think that's the number)
