Client test reqs are 10 psig hydro and spot RT w/ 85% jnt efficiency.
API 620 states in 5.26 Radiographic/Ultrasonic Examination
5.26.4.3 (a) When parts of tanks do not require complete examination, circumferential joints in cylindrical or conical surfaces need to be prepared and examined for a distance of only 3 in. on each side of any intersection with a longitudinal joint. All joints in a spherical, torispherical, or ellipsoidal shape or in any other surface or double curvature shall be considered longitudinal joints.
Does this mean that ALL 'T' type joints (circ.-to-long seams) REQUIRE RT?
Appreciate your interpretation and comments,
Robert
