RE: ASME B16.5

If you are using the 2003 Edition of ASME B16.5 here is what Table 3 means; first column are maximum permitted defects which are radial oriented based on pipe size (Example: think of a CD ROM representing the flange surface where a scratch is oriented from the center to the outer surface of the CD ROM across the grooves (flange serrations for sealing)) and depth of defect is not deeper than the base of the CD ROM grooves. The second column in Table 3 represents the maximum depth of defects which have similar radial orientation in the first column but are deeper than the base of the groove.
