REQUIREMENTS

• ULTRASONIC EXAMINATION ►ASME V Article 4 and 5

• RADIOGRAPHIC EXAMINATION ► ASME V Article 2

• VISUAL EXAMINATION ► ASME V Article 9

• MAGNETC PARTICLE EXAMINATION ► ASME V Article 7

• LIQUID PENETRANT EXAMINATION ► ASME V Article 6

• EDDY CURRENT EXAMINATION ► ASME V Article 8

• POSITIVE MATERIAL IDENTIFICATION ►NORSOK M-601

• LEAK TESTING ►ASME V Article 10

Other standards used: EN; NORSOK; DNV; API; Customer Specifications.

REQUIREMENTS-ULTRASONIC INSPECTION

• Ultrasonic Examination is the preferred method for the welds with material thicknesses above 40 mm.

• Subsea Equipments are designed to allow 100% surface and volumetric inspection. Scanning distances full skip or halh skip are calculated based on the material thickness, the quality of the materials and bevels configuration.

31

REQUIREMENTS-ULTRASONIC INSPECTION

• Calibration blocks are used for sensitivity setting.

• Calibration blocks are produced in the same conditions as the welds to be tested. Artificial reflectors as side drilled holes, flat botommed holes and notches are machined at different depths from surfaces to simulate real defects.

• For welds with complicated configuration: dissimilar materials (22Cr, 25Cr, filer material- Inconel based, butter welds, internal cladding) the scanning distances are calculated and taked in consideration for each particular case.

34

REQUIREMENTS-RADIOGRAPHIC EXAMINATION

• Radiographic Examination is the recommended method for the welds in material thicknesses below 40mm to detect volumetric discontinuities and also surface discontinuities. Is applicable for but-welds, filet welds (where possible) and critical areas of casted components.

• Subsea equipments are designed to allow exposure geometry and to achieve examination parameters: sensitivity, density, Ug requirements.

• The radiographs are stored in special conditions, and represent quality records.

35

REQUIREMENTS- SURFACE EXAMINATION

• Visual is the first examination applicable and is related to the followings: dimensions, surface roughness, surface status (painting, coating), visual discontinuities.

• Direct visual and remote visual examination are used for subsea equipments.

• Ferromagnetic materials : welds, forgings, castings are tested using magnetic particle techniques in order to detect surface discontinuities. Magnetic Particle Examination is applicable for structural welds, forged and casted parts in final machining conditions, fasteners, etc.

36

REQUIREMENTS- SURFACE EXAMINATION

• Nonferromagnetic maerials are tested using dye penetrant techniques to detect discontinuities open to the surface.

• Dye Penetrant Examination is applicable for CR butter welds, CR cladded surfaces, fasteners, welds in nonferromagnetic materials, etc

37

REQUIREMENTS-EDDY CURRENT

Eddy current Examination is applied to detect:

• corrosion, erosion, cracking and other changes in tubing,

• Discontinuities located in near surface layer outside and inside of seamless pipes.

38

REQUIREMENTS-POSITIVE MATERIAL IDENTIFICATION.• Positive Material Identification is used on base materials and

welds to provide information regarding the chemistry of the material.

The examination is applicable for:

• piping systems in stainless steel and Ni-base alloys to be installed subsea.

• Inconel based weld overlay.

39

REQUIREMENTS-LEAK TEST AND PRESSURE TEST• These methods are applicable for piping system, pipelines,

storage tanks, etc.• Helium leaking test is an efficient method of evaluation for EB

welds without full penetration.
