Structural welding only (not pressure containing welds)
No NDE inspection requirements called for other than 100% visual inspection.
Question,
Is it OK with AWS D1.1 standards for visual inspection to grind on a weld before VT inspection.
I have been told that grinding will smear the metal and could hide discontinuities that could otherwise been seen at time of VT inspection.
Thank you,
