Is radiographic inspection required for the weld joints between the flange and the head?

Thread Content

GB/T150.4-2024 specifies radiographic or ultrasonic testing for the weld joints between the nozzles and the vessel heads. It also specifies whether radiographic or ultrasonic testing is required for the weld joints between the flanges and the heads; if so, should the diameter used be the outer diameter or the inner diameter?

Flanges and heads are generally butted welds, and are classified as Class A welds.

According to the provisions of GB/T150.4-2024, the weld joints between the flange and the head shall be subject to radiographic or ultrasonic testing. During testing, the diameter is calculated based on the outer diameter. .

If it belongs to a Class D weld joint and the joint is not of a fully penetrated structure, then no testing is required.
