Hello. I have one question that i was thinking a lot at it. I will give myself as an example. I've finished my studies for the welding engineer profile. If i work on a project under PED, it is possible for me to sign the visual reports, even if i don't have an authorization for it? Or can the client...

which examination do you think should be done first for the socket welds? ps: thank you taz for the informations; it was very interesting; I know also that TOTAL require RT for socket welds; it seems that the "major six companies" in oil and gas industry are very careful with their refiner...

Not me, but i would like to know which will be the penetrate thickness, the thickness of the weld or the thickness of the weld+thickness of the pipe. Which of these are taking in account when you calculate the exposure time? PS: i will come with more info after they will make the RT; it will be good...

you are right about asme b31.3 but i know that some clients require this examination to be sure that the pipe fitter will respect the 1.5 gap. But i want to know which will be the thickness for exposure time?

Is anyone familiar with the radiographic inspection of the socket welds? Could anyone give me some details about it? Thank you
