specific approval from ID-RPO is needed.
Densitomer: Densitometer shall be calibrated atleast every 90days

using national standard step tablet or a step wedge calibration film
traceable to national standard step tablet. The densitometer is
acceptable if the density readings do not vary by more than +/-0.05 T-260
B8
density units from the actual density stated on national standard step ASME Sec V
tablet or a step wedge calibration film. Periodic calibration verification
checks shall be performed at the begining of each shift , after 8hrs of
continuous use or after changes of apertures whichever comes first.

ITEM
No.
Stepwedge comparison film: Step wedge comparison films shall be

verified annually and the measured density readings by calibrated T-260
B9
densitometer donot vary by more than +/-0.1 density units from the ASME Sec V
density stated on the step wedge comparison film.
C Examination
Radiographic technique: A single wall exposure technique shall be

used for radiography whenever practical. When it is not practical, a
Para. 7.1
double wall technique shall be used. The direction of the central
C1 SAEP-1143,
beam of radiation should be centered on the area of interest
whenever practical. (See
attachment 1)
Para. 8.1.2
Use of Co-60 is only permitted when the thickness of the material
C2 SAEP-1143,
exceeds the practical limits of Ir-192 or Se-75.
Geometric unsharpness(Ug): The minimum source to object distance
shall be great enough to ensure that Ug of the radiograph does not
exceed the values noted below:
Para. 8.2
C3 SAEP-1143,
Location markers: The location markers shall be placed on the part,

not on the exposure holder or casette. Location markers shall not
intrude into the area of interest. The starting point and the direction of
numbering shall be identified adjacent to the weld. Number belt
spacing around the circumference of the piping (size 3.5" NPS and
more) shall not exceed table 6, SAEP-1143
Para. 8.3
C4 SAEP-1143,
IQI selection: IQI shall be selected as per Table 7 & 8 SAEP-1143.

Para. 8.6
IQIs shall be placed on source side at all times. When film side IQIs
C5 SAEP-1143,
are used, a lead letter 'F' shall be placed adjacent to or on the IQIs
and shall not interfere with the IQI or be on matter of interest.
IQI selection for welds joining dissimilar materials or welds with

dissimilar filler metal shall be based on weld metal. When the density
T-276.3
C6 limits canot be met with one IQI, and the exceptional density areas is
ASME Sec V
at the interface of the weld metal and base metal, the material
selection for the additional IQI shall be based on the base material
Number of IQIs: One IQI at center and one IQI with in 1" from one
Para. 8.7
end of the film shall be placed for Rt techniques requiring multiple
C7 SAEP-1143,
exposures and the film to be interpreted is greater than 5". Minimum
4 IQIs are required for panoramic exposure.
D Evaluation

ITEM
No.
All radiographic films shall be free from :

a) Fogging
b) Processing defects such as streaks, watermarks, or chemical
Para. 9.1
stains
D1 SAEP-1143,
c) Scratches, finger marks, crimps, dirtiness, static marks, smudges
or tears
d) False indications due to
defective screens
Radiographic density limitations: The density range for Gamma Para. 9.3
D2 radiography shall be 2 to 4 and for X rays 1.8 to 4. A tolerance of 0.05 SAEP-1143,
in density is allowed for variations between densitomer readings.
Density variation: Radiographic density anywhere through the area of

interest shall not vary more than -15% and +30% from the measured Para. 9.4
D3 density next to the designation wire of the IQI. If the density variation SAEP-1143,
exceeds the permissible variation, additional IQI shall be used for
each exceptional area and the area of interest reradiographed.
IQI sensitivity: Radiography shall be performed with a technique of Para. 9.5

D4 sufficient sensitivity to display the essential wire of a wire IQI.The SAEP-1143,
radiograph shall also display the IQI identifying numbers and letters.
Excessive backscatter: If a light image of the lead letter "B" appears

ona darker background of the radiograph, protection from back Para. 9.6
D5 scatter is insufficient and the radiograph shall be considered SAEP-1143,
unacceptable. A dark image of the letter "B" on a lighter background
is not cause for rejection.
Film viewing: Radiographs shall be interpreted only in those areas in

which the IQIs have established that a suitable radiographic Para. 10
D6 technique has been used. Composite viewing of double film SAEP-1143,
exposure is not permitted unless in writing approval from designated
SA NDT Level III.
Film Interpretation: The radiographs shall be examined and

Para. 11
interpreted for film quality and for discontinuities by personnel
D7 SAEP-1143,
certified to perform RTFI by Saudi Aramco. The acceptance criteria
for discontinuities shall be as per applicable construction code.
E Documentation
Radiographic reports shall be issued using Saudi Aramco form 4719-

E1 SAEP-1143,
Alternative forms are acceptable but should contain all the details as
listed in para. 12 SAEP-1143
