penetrant inspection AWS D17.1

[brin]

My appolgies if this is obvious to others, but I can't find any reference in AWS D17.1 for this (in regards to a thin sheet butt or fillet weld AWS D17.1 class B).

Does the inspector typically penetrant inspect both sides of the sheet or only the weld side?


Thanks

For butt welds, both sides should be done. If sheets are lapped and each lap gets a fillet weld, each should be done.
