I know ASME Sec VIII Div 1 per UW-12 does not require RT for 70% JE on double welded butt joints.

Does API 620 per Table 5-2 require RT for 70% JE on double welded butt joints?

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Per Table 5-2, for "wetted" double butt joints only spot or full radiography is permitted, and thus only 85% and 100% joint efficiencies are used.

For roof double butt welded joints I believe the --, Spot, Full in the Radiography column are meant to be lined up with 70%, 85% and 100% in the efficiency column. Thus in a roof 70% joint efficiency is no radiography .
