Fillet as for a slip-on flange, butt weld?
RE: RT for welding pipe to flange
How do you RT a fillet weld (especially on a slip on flange) ?

You would be surprised what some customers want; defies logic and the imagination.

That was the purpose of my question. But if it were a butt weld, he would be using a 30 inch dia RFWN, and I didn't want to make that assumption.

It is still a fillet weld (or two of them)- TOFD or manual UT is still pretty much useless on a fillet weld.
What are you actually looking for in your UT scan ?
Weldstan described it perfectly !

Whereas slip on flanges are used in low pressure applications and the fillet welds are likely small, TOFD will not provide any valuable information.
