penetrant inspection AWS D17.1

penetrant inspection AWS D17.1

(OP)
My appolgies if this is obvious to others, but I can't find any reference in AWS D17.1 for this (in regards to a thin sheet butt or fillet weld AWS D17.1 class B).

Does the inspector typically penetrant inspect both sides of the sheet or only the weld side?


Thanks

RE: penetrant inspection AWS D17.1

For butt welds, both sides should be done.  If sheets are lapped and each lap gets a fillet weld, each should be done.
