6.5.3 Inspection of repairs

All welded repairs shall be subject to the same non-destructive testing requirements as those which detected the imperfection. This includes the same acceptance criteria. Such repairs shall be carried out using approved weld procedures and approved welders and welding operators. The extent of testing of repairs shall comply with Table 6.6.2-1 and cover 100 % of the area repaired.

Non welded repairs by surface dressing are permissible providing that the area of repair is subject to NDT according to Table 6.6.2-1 and free from unacceptable imperfections, see 6.6.5 for retesting requirements.

Weld metal deposited to restore base material shall be subject to non-destructive testing for the full surface area involved, using Magnetic Particle Testing (MT) or Penetrant Testing (PT).

6.6 Non-destructive testing of welded joints

6.6.1    Extent of non-destructive testing

The required extent of non-destructive testing depends both on the testing group and the type of the welded joints. Guidance to determine the required extent of testing is given in the following clauses.

For serially produced pressure vessels an alternative route is given in Annex A. This annex is not applicable to vessels or vessel parts designed according to Design by Analysis - Direct Route of Annex В of EN 13445-3:2009 or designed according to 6.3 of EN 13445-3:2009. This annex is not applicable for vessels or vessel parts working in the creep range.

6.6.1.1    Use of testing groups

6.6.1.1.1    General

The non-destructive testing of welded joints for final acceptance purposes shall depend upon the testing group or subgroup of the welded joint under consideration.

In Table 6.6.1-1, testing groups 1, 2, 3 and 4 apply below the creep range. Testing groups 1, 2 and 3 are

III I СШ1С I    I

of Annex F, testing sub-groups 1c and 3c apply to creep.

NOTE 1 The testing groups or sub-groups take into consideration the manufacturing difficulties associated with different groups of steel, maximum thickness, welding process, service temperature range and joint coefficient. It is intended that any of the testing groups will provide adequate integrity for typical applications within the limitations contained within Tables 6.6.1-1 and F.2-1.

For vessels (or vessel parts) designed according to Design by Analysis - Direct Route of Annex В of EN 13445-3:2009 or designed according to 6.3 of EN 13445-3:2009, only testing group 1 is permissible.

NOTE 2 Further restrictions are given in Annex A of EN 13445-3:2009.

For vessels designed by experimental methods, the testing group to be considered for the vessel or vessel part shall be determined according to the rules given in Table 6.6.1-1 and the possible limitations stated in T.5 of EN 13445-3:2009.

NOTE 3 The joint coefficient is not used in design by the experimental method without calculation.

11

СТБ EN 13445-5-2009

For vessels (or vessel parts) working in the creep range only testing groups 1c and 3c are permissible. The extent of NDT is given in Table F.2-1 of Annex F. Testing groups 1, 2 and 3 are permissible for any welded joint not subjected to creep.

6.6.1.1.2    Testing groups 1, 2 and 3

It is intended that a single testing group is applied to the entire vessel.

When the vessel is made of several sections (courses), a combination of testing groups 1, 2, and 3 is permissible providing that the requirements of Table 6.6.1-1 are met.

If a combination of testing groups is necessary, for example as the result the use of DBA Direct Route, of the Alternative Route, of design in the creep range or for fatigue in a section (course), the following shall apply:

a)    in each section (course) of the vessel, the testing group of the shell governing welded joints, where present, shall determine the minimum testing group for all the welds, including the nozzle welds, in that section;

b)    the testing group of the weld between two welded sections of different testing groups shall be the higher of the two testing groups;

c)    the minimum testing group (i.e. the one with the lower level of NDT) of the welds between a welded component and a seamless one (not welded), or between two seamless components, shall be determined by the available thickness (i.e. actual thickness less tolerances less corrosion allowance) at the weld. Where the available thickness is greater than 1,17 (this is equivalent to 1/0,85) times the minimum thickness, the testing group of the weld shall be 3 as a minimum requirement. Otherwise it shall be testing group 1 or 2 according to Table 6.6.1-1.

6.6.1.1.3    Testing group 4

Testing group 4 shall be used as a single group for the entire vessel and shall not be used with any other testing group.

6.6.1.1.4    Demonstration of satisfactory experience for testing group 2

Satisfactory experience shall be a minimum amount of welds or vessels of successfully produced and tested within the scope/parameters of the welding procedure approval test, as given below:

—    in case of groups 1.1, 1.2 and 8.1 materials, the successful production is 25 consecutive pressure vessels or 50 consecutive metres of governing welded joints;

—    in case of materials of other groups, it is 50 consecutive pressure vessels or consecutive 100 m of governing welded joints;

— experience in material group 3.1 covers experience in material groups 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3;

— experience in material group 1.3 covers experience in material groups 1.1, 1.2;

—    experience is accepted as long as there is a valid welding procedure approval test for a more critical or at least a comparable material.

Any imperfection requiring repair during the process of demonstrating experience shall require that the manufacturer start again the complete demonstration process.

Subsequently, (after demonstration of experience) isolated imperfections shall be handled in accordance with 6.5.3. and shall not affect the demonstration of experience.

12

However, multiple, systematic or process imperfections shall be investigated, corrected and the full demonstration of experience repeated. Such imperfections tend to be repetitive and similar in nature. They can be the result of inadequate welding parameters (e.g. resulting from equipment malfunction, a too large range of parameters, incorrect use of parameters within the range of approval) or operator error. In the case of inadequate parameters, consideration of requalification of the Welding Procedure Specification (WPS) should be performed.

Documentary evidence of the process of demonstration of experience shall be maintained by the manufacturer.

6.6.2 Determination of extent of non-destructive testing

6.6.2.1 General

As a general rule, the extent of non-destructive testing, given as a percentage value, shall be in accordance with Table 6.6.2-1 which only covers the processes listed in EN 13445-4:2009. This percentage value reflects the extent of non-destructive testing of the total length of the welded joint and takes into consideration the testing group and type of weld.

14

СТБ EN 13445-5-2009

For vessels designed by experimental methods, the required extent of non-destructive testing of welded joints shall be determined according to the rules given in Table 6.6.2-1.

In case where it is not obvious whether the welded joint is a governing one or not, due to the complex shape of the vessel and/or the particular location of that joint, a conservative assumption shall be made, i.e. the welded joint shall be considered as a governing welded joint and tested accordingly.

NOTE For definition of governing welded joint, see EN 13445-3:2009, definition 3.13. For examples of governing welded joints, see EN 13445-3:2009, subclause 5.6.

If no weld is present in the vessel or vessel part, testing group 1 shall be assumed.

6.6.2.2 Welded joints covered by Table 6.6.2-1

Table 6.6.2-1 is designed for steel for:

— multilayer welds welded as single or double side welds;

unc oiuc on oui i нем cm uiai vvciuo,

—    performed with consumables;

—    produced by the following typical processes: Manual Metal Arc (MMA) 111, Submerged Arc (SAW) 121, Metal Active Gas (MAG) 135, Metal Inert Gas (MIG) 131, Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) 141, Plasma MIG welding 151.

6.6.2.3 Other welded joints

6.6.2.3.1    General

Special problems arising from elements such as those described below are not covered in Table 6.6.2-1 and shall be considered for all butt-welded joints especially for longitudinal/governing joints:

—    single run one side governing welds;

—    joints between dissimilar materials or dissimilar consumables.

6.6.2.3.2    Single run one side governing welds

For single run governing welds made from one side, the thickness shall be limited to 10 mm. It is also noted that these vessels are limited to non cyclic duty i.e. 500 full pressure cycles. For volumetric NDT of single runs, one of the two options below shall be used:

a)    NDT extent shall be as prescribed in Table 6.6.2-1 conditional upon a hydrotest at a higher test pressure performed as specified in paragraph 10.2.3.3.1, Table 10.2.3.3-1 with control of peaking and excess weld.

b)    NDT extent prescribed in Table 6.6.2-1 shall be multiplied by 2 without exceeding 100 % but not less than 25 % for longitudinal and 10 % for circumferential. When there is a change which could influence the performance of the welding process (e.g. before changing the copper bar or the gas, after changing the wire or the powder and production test specimens, before changing the copper bar or gas and after changing wire) additional NDT shall be performed at the start of those seams.

For both a) and b), welding shall require qualification with welding procedure test, as requested in EN 13445-4:2009, on the actual nominal thickness of the weld joint that is welded by the single run from one side. The range of qualification shall be restricted to 0,8 • / to t, where t is the actual nominal thickness of the test coupon.

СТБ EN 13445-5-2009

For all thicknesses, X-Ray in the direction of the weld preparation shall be used.

6.6.2.3.3 Non destructive testing of joints between dissimilar materials or dissimilar consumables

NDT on these joints must be performed to a specific written procedure with additional attention to interpretation of the results.

6.6.2.4    Testing group 2

For testing group 2, the reduction in percentage of NDT given in Table 6.6.2-1 is given by the two figures (e.g. 100 % -10 %). The first value refers to the initial extent of NDT required until sufficient satisfactory experience (See 6.6.1.1.4) is established when the second lower value applies.

6.6.2.5    When less than 100 % NDT is required by the selected testing group in Table 6.6.1-1

In case of less than 100 % required testing, the extent and location of non-destructive testing shall be determined by the following criteria. The joints selected shall be representative of all welding on the pressure vessel.

a)    For shells, formed heads, communicating chambers and jackets

1)    non-destructive testing shall be performed at all intersections of longitudinal and circumferential butt joints. The minimum tested length shall be 200 mm. Where the inclusion of all intersections exceeds the percentage in Table 6.6.2-1 then this higher value will apply;

2)    if necessary to attain the percentage required in Table 6.6.2-1, additional randomly selected locations on the butt welded joint shall be subject to non-destructive testing;

3)    openings within main welds (longitudinal or circumferential) or within a distance of 12 mm from the main welds shall be examined for a length of not less than the diameter of the opening on each side of the opening. These shall be included as an addition to the percentage in Table 6.6.2-1, if applicable.

b)    Nozzles and branches attached to the vessel (butt welds).

To determine the extent of non-destructive testing, the total number of nozzles and branches which have full penetration butt welds shall be grouped as follows:

1) for 100 % non-destructive testing: the size of the group is 1 (i.e. every individual nozzle and branch) ;

2) for 25 % non-destructive testing: the size group size is 4 (i.e. at least one complete nozzle or branch for each group of 4) ;

3)    for 10 % non-destructive testing: the size of the group is 10 (i.e. at least one complete nozzle or branch for each group of 10).

Thereafter, the complete circumferential and longitudinal butt joints of at least one nozzle or branch in each group or partial group shall be tested. When the inclusion of the number of complete circumferential and longitudinal butt welds or nozzles exceeds the percentage in Table 6.6.2-1, then the higher value will apply.
