Stainless NDT spec 1

RMPE · Dec 11, 2002

Is there an ASTM or AWS spec for proper dye testing of 12 ga stainless sheet fusion welds? We're field assembling a continuous water tight gutter trough for a swimming pool.
I don't have any AWS codes other than 1.1. I believe 1.6 is for stainless. Thanks.

I believe that ASTM E165-02 will cover your requirements.

ASTM 165 will explain penetrant inspection well enough to allow you to perform the inspection you are doing. I will suggest an additional technique typically used in these cases: if possible, apply the penetrant on one side and look for bleed out on the other. Bleed out indicates areas that will leak.
