    4 Inspection and final manufacturing


    4.1 Welding NDT (non-destructive testing)
    4.1.1 Definition and basis for NDT
    NDT includes the following kinds of test: Acoustic emission testing, eddy current testing, infrared
    thermographic testing, leak testing (hyd. press. test excluded), strain gauge testing, PT, MT, RT, UT and
    VT (direct unaided visual test and visual tests carried out during the application of another NDT method
    are excluded) See EN ISO 9712:2013 (Non-destructive testing – Qualification and certification of NDT
    personnel).
    Non-destructive testing must be carried out in accordance with an internationally recognised standard.
    For further instructions, see EN ISO 17635 (Non-destructive testing of welds – General rules for metallic
    materials). It must be noted that the term VT is used only in connection with inspection of welding work.
    4.1.2 Time of inspection
    The inspection of welds must only be started after termination of any thermal straightening or heat
    treatment. Where conditions dictate, inspection can be permitted before the final heat treatment; but
    permission must be obtained from FLSmidth37).
    Welds and materials with a latent possibility for the formation of hydrogen cracks or any other delayed
    crack mechanisms must not be examined until at least 48 hours have passed. In case of doubt, please
    contact FLSmidth.
    4.1.3 Qualification/quality
    NDT personnel must be qualified and certified to carry out NDT inspection jobs in accordance with EN ISO
    9712:2013 (Non-destructive testing – Qualification and certification of personnel). The operator must be
    certified to level 2. The operator certificate(s) have to be included in the final certified documentation.
    Alternative corresponding internationally recognised standard may be agreed upon. The test equipment
    and method must be suitable for the purpose.
    Visual inspection may be conducted by inspectors not certified, however qualified.
    NDT personnel and their qualifications shall be subject to written approval by FLSmidth37).
    If no quality level reference is made on the drawings, the welding work and the extent of testing must be
    done in a quality corresponding to quality level QA. See sub-section 2.3.3 and 2.7.
    4.1.4 Extent and methods of testing
    4.1.4.1 General notes
    The quality level and the extent of testing of welds are defined by the quality levels, QA, QB or QC as
    specified in Table 13. The normal test scope defined in Table 29 is compulsory and must be completed for
    all deliveries of welded structures to FLSmidth.
    It is the responsibility of the manufacturer to plan welding and NDT work so that required inspection /
    examination can take place. Drawings showing NDT locations and extent of testing must be prepared by
    the manufacturer and be available for the inspection, see sub-section 4.11.1.
    When inspecting the structure it shall be ascertained that all welds have been completed and that they
    are located as specified on the drawing(s) and that no welds show indications of excessive defects.
    4.1.4.2 Test methods
    Leakage test shall if demanded, but not detailed specified be executed by means of water or suitable
    trace gas.
    The test methods approved by FLSmidth for the inspection of welds are listed in the Table 28 below.
    Welded seams must be examined by the use of suitable test methods.
    The VT and PT/MT testing of raw materials for surface imperfections should precede the use of UT and RT
    for detecting internal imperfections.

    4.1.4.3 Inspection lot


    Welds perpendicular to each other must be included in the test lot. The test lot must include welds, so
    that all welders on that particular job are represented in the NDT report on welds.
    4.1.4.4 Lamination
    Lamination in plate edge (flange on profiles included) prepared for QB or QC weld must not exist closer
    than the greater of 50 mm or 4 x plate thickness. Detection of lamination shall be conducted by mean of
    UT.
    4.1.4.5 Inspection of welds
    On drawings where the quality class has not been indicated, the extent of testing can in agreement with
    the FLSmidth inspection be reduced from the given percentage to include VT only. See sub-section 2.7.
    If imperfections are found:
    • Causing non-compliance with the quality requirements, repairs must be made, and at the same
    time the extent of testing must be increased from normal test to re-testing of the weld in
    concern.
    • In cases of non-compliance during re-testing, repairs must be made. At the same time, the
    extent of testing must be increased to 100 % (repeated) re-test of the weld in concern.
    • In cases of non-compliance during a 100 % test, repairs must be made and all repaired sections
    of the welded seams must be examined 100 %.
    For welding inspection the following requirements apply:

    4.1.4.6 Where reasonable suspicion exists


    FLSmidth reserves - without cost to FLSmidth - the right to call for an extraordinary increased quality
    control (according to the choice of FLSmidth) of any item or any subject where reasonable suspicion exist
    that defects or imperfections are present in the product. This reservation is valid not only for welding;
    also imperfections in raw materials are covered by this clause (see e.g. sub-section 4.1.4.4).
    Any imperfections detected during an extraordinary quality control must be evaluated and treated as if
    they had been detected during a normal test according to Table 29.
    4.1.5 Condition for detection and rejection of imperfection
    4.1.5.1 General requirement
    The detection and determination of the sizes of imperfections is highly dependent on inspection methods
    and the methodology used. Inspection methods and the methodology must be chosen and carried out
    according to an internationally recognised standard. The methods shall yield the detection,
    characterization and size of imperfections, which all are required to determine the type of imperfection
    and the acceptance/rejection mentioned in Table 32, EN ISO 5817:2014 as well as in the standards
    mentioned in Table 30.

    38 VT, visual test ascertains that the welding work has been completed and inspected according to EN ISO 17637:2011.
    39 Measuring of weld dimension is included in VT according to EN ISO 5817 and EN ISO 17637/970.
    40 Instead of RT the drawing may require UT. Otherwise UT/RT may be chosen optionally with regard to suitable thickness and weld characteristic.
    41 Instead of PT the drawing may require MT. In this case the frequency test scope must follow what is required at PT. Otherwise PT/MT may be chosen
    optionally.
    42 UT shall apply 20% / 100% on fillet weld according to drawing requirement and EN ISO 17640:2011 (Non-destructive testing of welds - Ultrasonic testing
    - Techniques, testing levels, and assessment) . Accept from FLSmidth inspection required.
