Table 5.12 - Weld Surface Fatigue-Strength-Reduction Factors
|
Fatigue-Strength-Reduction |
Quality Level |
Definition |
|
1.0 |
1 |
Machined or ground weld that receives a full volumetric examination, and a surface that receives MT/PT examination and a VT examination. |
|
1.2 |
1 |
As-welded weld that receives a full volumetric examination, and a surface that receives MT/PT and VT examination |
|
1.5 |
2 |
Machined or ground weld that receives a partial volumetric examination, and a surface that receives MT/PT examination and VT examination |
|
1.6 |
2 |
As-welded weld that receives a partial volumetric examination, and a surface that receives MT/PT and VT examination |
|
1.5 |
3 |
Machined or ground weld surface that receives MT/PT examination and a VT examination (visual), but the weld receives no volumetric examination inspection |
|
1.7 |
3 |
As-welded or ground weld surface that receives MT/PT examination and a VT examination (visual), but the weld receives no volumetric examination inspection |
|
2.0 |
4 |
Weld has received a partial or full volumetric examination, and the surface has received VT examination, but no MT/PT examination |
|
2.5 |
5 |
VT examination only of the surface; no volumetric examination nor MT/PT examination. |
|
3.0 |
6 |
Volumetric examination only |
|
4.0 |
7 |
Weld backsides that are non-definable and/or receive no examination |
|
Notes: 1. Volumetric examination is RT or UT in accordance with Part 7. 2. MT/PT examination is magnetic particle or liquid penetrant examination in accordance with Part 7 3. VT examination is visual examination in accordance with Part 7. 4. See WRC Bulletin 432 for further information. |
