(quick reference) 226 Engineers Guide to Pressure Equipment PD 5500 (Cat 1) Visual examination Radiographic examination Planar defects: Weld fit-up gap: Undercut: Throat thickness error: Excess penetration: Weld sag: Not permitted max 2 mm max 1 mm +5/-1 mm max 3 mm max 1.5 mm Cracks/lamellar tears Lack of fusion, any type Lack of root penetration Not permitted Porosity: max size of isolated pores is 25% of material thickness, up to a maximum diameter, which depends on the material thickness. Root concavity: max 1.5 mm Wormholes: max 6 mm length 1.5 mm width. Weld cap overlap: Not permitted Inclusions: allowable dimensions of solid inclusions depend on the position of the inclusion and the type of weld [refer to PD5500 Table 5.7(1)].
