Hi,
Testing the welding during construction should it be RT or UT ?
Thanks

RE: Spherical Tank
What types of welds, and what material?
The description as a "spherical tank" makes me think having two sided access could be either very easy, or darned near impossible.

Thanks for your answer....actually the spherical tank is shown in the attached file

Yes it is constructed to ASME Section VIII Division 2
The contractor is insisting on having UT instead of RT , I went through the standard and I was confused of categories ..so I asked for help.
By the way ...I didn't understand what you've written: These projects are quite involved and cannot be answered by individuals who do not have a thorough understanding of the requirements"".

RE: Spherical Tank
UT and RT have their distinct advantages and the method which is best suited should be used. Both tests are good enough to detect volumetric discontinuities.
Though State-of-art scenario today is still in favor of RT; Ultrasound Test is commonly used for testing thicker sections accessible from one side only, and can often detect finer lines or planar defects which may not be as readily detected by radiographic testing.
(RT cannot detect discontinuities that are located perpendicular to the rays & UT cannot detect discontinuities that are parallel to the ultrasonic beam)
