• Unacceptable indications are to be eliminated and
repaired where necessary. The repair welds are to be
examined on their full length using magnetic particle
or liquid penetrant test and ultrasonic or radiographic
testing.
When unacceptable indications are found, additional
area of the same weld length are to be examined
unless the indication is judged isolated without
any doubt. In case of automatic welded joints, additional
NDE is to be extended to all areas of the same
weld length.
The extent of examination can be increased at the
surveyor's discretion when repeated non-acceptable
indications are found.
