I am sorry, I can't provide the picture.
It is piece of 5 inch dia pipe with few outlets on top, bottom and sides. All outlets are API Monogrammed Flanges. All the flange to pipe joints were proposed by Client. Volumetric NDE was possible for only side flange to pipe weld joints. Top and bottom outlets could neither be checked by RT nor UT.
