1.radiograph Acceptance

This document provides acceptance criteria for various types of defects found in radiographic testing based on standards from API, ASME, and B31. It lists 17 types of defects including cracks, incomplete penetration, lack of fusion, slag inclusions, porosity, undercut, and others. For each defect it specifies the maximum permitted individual and aggregate sizes allowed by different codes for various material thicknesses and component types, whether defects are permitted or not, and how defect size is measured. The document is a reference for inspectors to evaluate radiographs according to appropriate standards for the component being tested.
