(OP)
I am trying to find if in Division II there are exceptions that allow me to be exempt from NDE on e-beam welds. I have data that shows repeatable quality welds but it looks like 100% Ultrasonic Testing is always required. Assume I am only talking about Category A, Circumferential welds.

I have a Div 2 Part 5 vessel. I think the answer to my question is that the code is telling me to inspect everything and there are no provisions like in Div 1 that allows me to relax those inspection criteria for a reduction in weld joint efficiency.
