CSA Z276 LNG

In clause 9 of the above standard, it requires for flammable liquids and gases that 30% of "each days circumferentially welded pipe joints shall be non-destructively tested over the entire circumference, in accordance with B31.3" This would be ok with numerous welds every day, but if welding one 10" schd 120 per day, this would present 100% NDE by week's end..am I reading this correctly or is there another way to go around the requirement?

The usual objective is to meet or exceed code requirements.
