10.0 SENSITIVITY CALIBRATION
10.1 Inspection of girth weld
For the inspection of girth weld, sensitivity calibration is performed by drawing a DAC curve using the
relevant DAC block (see section 9.4.3). DAC curve (Distance Amplitude Correction curve) is constructed to
compensate the decreasing signal amplitude received from a reflector when its distance from the probe
increases.
The DAC is based on the construction of a 3 points reference level derived from the responses of 3 reflectors
(SDH of 3.0 mm diameter).
The echo reflected from the first SDH in the reference block is maximised and the gain control regulated so
that the echo amplitude is 80% FSH. This gain setting is called the primary gain and is to be noted. Without
altering the primary gain, the probe is positioned in order to maximize the echo from the second and, then,
the third SDH. The respective echo amplitudes are marked on the screen. A line drawn through these peaks
represents the amplitude expected from a reflector of the same size at any distance from the probe.
Curves representing 33% (DAC -10dB) and 50% (DAC -6dB) of the reference sensitivity DAC curve have
also to be constructed.
Figure 1 - DAC curve
Range scale shall be adjusted to cover the specific acoustic path defined in the DAC curve settings.
DAC shall be verified once per shift using the relevant DAC block.

Document Number:
Client
193602CSQROP034
If deviation is found above 2% of range scale or above 4dB of primary gain setting the examinations carried
out with the equipment over the previous period shall be repeated
10.2 Transfer correction
Any possible difference in attenuation and surface condition between the reference block and the area to be
tested shall be checked by the transfer correction . Two angle probes of the same type as those to be
employed during the testing are to be utilized . One of the probes is to be worked as transmitter, whilst the
other acts as receiver. The first echo is maximised and it is adjusted to reach DAC curve with the aid of the
gain control. Without altering the gain setting the probes are moved to the reference block and the echo is
adjusted to reach DAC curve.
If the differences of the two gain settings are less than 2dB, correction is not required. If differences are
greater than 2dB, but smaller than 12 dB, the transfer correction shall be compensated. If transfer losses
exceed 12 dB, the reason shall be investigated and further preparation of the scanning surfaces shall be
carried out (if applicable).

11.0 TEST EXECUTION
11.1 Surface conditions
The surface to be examined shall be clean, dry, and free of rust, paint and other coating, oil, grease, water,
welding flux or any other impediments that could cause an improper scanning of the probe or a bad contact
between the probe and the material under examination.
When required as per section 5.0, inspection of girth weld shall be performed according to ISO 17640, with
testing level B, and Appendix D / section B.300 of DNV-OS-F101.
The whole volume of the weld and heat affected zones shall be scanned.
Weld inspection will be performed using at least 2 probe angles. The following angle probes are
recommended to be employed :
 45° and 60° or 70° for WT > 15 mm
Sensitivity calibration shall be performed according to section 10.1. Inspection for longitudinal indication shall
be performed positioning the probes in positions A or B as per Figure 3. Inspection for transverse indication
shall be performed positioning the probes in positions (X and Y) or (W and Z) as per Figure 3.

Client
193602CSQROP034
Figure 3 - Weld examination
During the scanning the primary gain will be increased by 6 dB in order to increase the sensitivity to flaws
with a difficult orientation. However, the gain shall be reduced to the primary reference level when the flaw
evaluation is carried out.
The examination shall be carried out by moving the search unit over the examination surface so as to scan
the entire volume of the weld. Each pass of the search unit shall overlap a minimum of 10% of the transducer
dimension perpendicular to the direction of the scan. Maximum probe velocity shall not exceed 150mm/sec.
11.3 Lamination check
As per section 5.0, if more than 100mm, including re-bevelling, is removed from pipe end, a lamination check
has to be done. In this case, lamination check shall be performed over 100mm from the new pipe end.
The inspection shall be performed using straight beam probe, calibrated on the backwall echo of the DAC
block. Each pass of the search unit shall overlap a minimum of 10% of the transducer dimension
perpendicular to the direction of the scan. Maximum probe velocity shall not exceed 150mm/sec.

193602CSQROP034
11.4 Wall thickness check
After grinding, wall thickness check shall be performed to verify that the thickness of the ground area
remains above the minimum acceptable value.
Wall Thickness shall be measured between two back wall echoes.

Document Number:
Client
193602CSQROP034
12.0 EVALUATION OF INDICATIONS
Evaluation of indication shall be performed at primary gain.
All indications having signal amplitude more than 33% of the DAC shall be investigated to find the nature and
orientation of the discontinuity. This can be assessed by the responses of the reflector to the sound beam
using different probe angles and also by the lateral and transverse manipulation of the probe. It will be
permissible to use a higher amplification level (dB) for this investigation.
This procedure classifies discontinuities detected by ultrasonic testing into three groups, namely, linear,
volumetric and transverse discontinuities. Linear discontinuities are incomplete fusion/penetration, elongated
slag inclusion, copper inclusion, cracks, undercutting adjacent to cover pass or root pass and hollow bead
porosity. Volumetric discontinuities are voids, pores, single or multiple inclusions, internal concavity and
cluster porosity. A transverse discontinuity has its greater dimension across the weld. It will be adequate to
classify and record the discontinuities as linear, volumetric or transverse.
For all indications having signal amplitude more than 33% of the DAC, the length of the indication (in the
circumferential direction of the pipe/forging) shall be evaluated between the points where the echo exceeds
33% of the DAC.
Then, indications shall be confronted to the acceptance criteria based on their nature, their maximum echo
amplitude and their length (if applicable).
In the report, the length of acceptable indications with amplitude exceeding 50% of the reference curve shall
be included.
12.2 Lamination check
Any discontinuities causing a reflection exceeding 50% of the reference level and accompanied by a 50%
loss in amplitude of the back wall echo shall be evaluated.
