of nominal wall thicknesses joined, and
the density of the BT's image
exceeds that of the thinnest
adjacent base metal
Sum of maximum dimensions of separate
BTs whose image density exceeds that of
the thinnest adjacent base metal exceeds
12.7 mm (½") in 304.8 mm (12") of weld or

4. Width of ISI > 1/8"
5. > 4 ISI with maximum width of
1/8" in any 12" of weld.
6. Sum of the lengths of ESI & ISI >
8% of weld length.
Pipe OD < 2-3/8"
Unacceptable if:
