API 650 - NDE for Butt Welded floor plates
API 650 - NDE for Butt Welded floor plates
(OP)
Dear All,
My understanding of the API 650 code is that Radiography is only required for the Annular Plate Joints ( if the tank has annulars ).
For Butt welded floor plates I believe the NDE criteria is the same for that of lap welded floor plates e.g A Vacuum Box Test and Visual Examination.
Is this correct or is there any additional NDE requirements for butt welded floor plates that I have missed?
Thanks
