a. There shall be a $ritten procedure for VT indicatin the
essential and non.essential variables.
b. The procedure used to be re.!ualified if the essential
variable is chaned.
c. The acceptance of procedure is the criteria to detect a
defect of $idth not more than 0/;&= (4.1 mm) made on
similar surface.
d. The examiner shall be annually tested for Haeer H.0.

lo$er than 0.8 times and hiher than 6 times the test
pressure. >ressure aues shall be calibrated at least
annually
d. >rior to inspectionA the test pressure shall be held min.
08 minutes.
e. The presence and ro$th of bubble at lea+ location
$ould constitute a defect.
f. After repair the lea+ test shall be repeated.
?. SE-79 7 U T MEASUREMENT:
a. >ulse.echo method can be adopted up to &44JC
DAILY POINTS TO RECALL (DAY 6)
b. Apparatus, ; types
. D3T read out
. D3T : direct read out
. Direct thic+ness read out
c. Search /nits, ; types
. Straiht beam contact type
. Delay line type (delay bloc+ to minimi"e dead "one)
. Dual element type. There are t$o crystals set at
a small rane. -o$ roof anle used for hiher
rane and hiher anle for lo$ rane.
d. Eih thic+ness measurement,
/se of multiple echoes is made. (i.e.A for thic+ness bet$een
84 mm and @4mmA use 04mm calibration bloc+ then 8
th
bac+ echo $ill be 84 mm and @
th
$ill be @4mm. Set the 8
th
echo to "ero and @
th
at the screen rane. The screen is
calibrated to 84.@4mm.
e. <hile ta+in measurement for hih temperature
condition a positive error of 09 per 88JD (044JC)
results. Eence temperature correction is necessary.
. D3T read out is recommended on corroded and rouh
surface.
