Is there any penalty on weld joint Failure
Is there any penalty on weld joint Failure
(OP)
Dear All,
I had Radiography Test (RT) for several weld joints and found few are rejected due to porosity. Our Client is insisiting to have more test (we have 5% of the joints) as a penalty of the failure. Is there any penalty on failure of weld joint.

need a spec to confirm

1- Set testing frequency
2- No problems, reduced frequency can be considered
3- Problems detected, increase frequency, sometimes as much as 100% until problems disappear.

Like the other posters, I would look at the data and any welder with a failed weld would get 20% X-Ray the next day. If ANY of those welds fail I would do 100% of that guy's welds until you get around to running him off.

Welders hate to repair welds. We always make sure that the welder that had the weld failed is the one repairing it. It goes a long way to make sure he improves.
