determined there was a need and initiated a project to develop a guide
to aid in the proper application of various NDT methods to cover such
nonbutt welded joint configurations commonly used in ship and other
marine structures.
This guide is published as SSC-253.
It does not
set acceptance standards but does provide a meaningful way by which
such standards may be applied.
To make the guide useful to production and inspection
personnel in shipyards, the technical support data were placed in this
report.
Comments and suggestions for additional research topics on
problem areas will be most welcome.

INTRODUCTION
The design of commercial ships is such that structural integrity
These

welds are nondestructively
tested and throughout the years standard
procedures have been developed for doing this.
Ships also contain
other weld joint configurations;
but, for the mosti part, khese were
nok considered crikical and therefore were not inspected tio the same
level of quality assurance.
However, the newer ships being built today and planned for the future are considerably more complex in design
and do contain some non-butt welds in stressed application.
These
joints will require critical inspection.
Skandard procedures will be
needed by the industry and the Ship Structures Comittiee has assigned
of
preparing a guide for
to the Naval Ordnance Laboratory the task
khe nondestructive
testing of all weld joint kypes other khan the butk
weld.
That work is presented in two parts:
Part 1 which is the guide
itself, and Part 2 which documenks the considerations
and technical
details involved in preparing the guide.

This was done to avoid the
use of very high currents which could cause localized heating effects,
leaving hard spots that are susceptible to cracking.
For the same
reason, the amperage values of Table I are somewhat reduced for tke
larger prod spacing.

Radiography
The selection of a suitable radiation source energy and the targe.ttofilm distance are t_wo of the most importan.~ parameters
in radiography.
Good practice requires that the xray energy (or isotope energy)
should not be unnecessarily
high for the thickness to be penetrated,
and that the source-tofilm
distance be sufficient to prevent the
effects of geometrical unsharpness
from noticeably degrading the film
quality.
radiography are regulated by
~n the guide, these aspect-s of
the graph of Figure 2, which places an upper limit on the xray
and by the graph of Figure 3, which specified a minimum
energy:
sourceto-film
distance in relation to the objectto-film
separation
distance.
Figure 2 is identical with similar restrictions
on the
xray energy used by the u.S. Navys and the American Societ-y for
Mechanical
Engineers.4
Figure 3 is the product of research done in
Great Britain.
Since the radiography of stesl welds will be done invariably at x-ray
energies where lead screen cassettes may be employed with advantage,
it was suggested t-hat their use in ship weld inspection be mandatory.
Front screens of 0.005 and back screens of 0.010 which are
commercially
available were recommended
for ship weld inspection.
In the radiography of ship welds, ASTM penetrameters
are used to
determine acceptable film quality.
While 2% sensitivity
is
commonly employed, these penetrameters
may also be used for other
quality levels. 5 Table 11 lists six levels of quality which vover
the range ordinarily of interest in industrial radiography.
Weld joints of complex configurations
such as the Teeand X will
present differing thicknesses
to the radiation beam which will
result in film density variations.
Since the radiograph should not
be interpreted
in locations where the film density differs appreciably
from that where satisfactory
sensitivity was demonstrated,
limits of
