Socket welds and fillet welds are not suitable for radiographic inspection and should instead be assessed using dye penetrant or magnetic particle testing methods. It is essential to evaluate all types of these joints following the guidelines specified in AIGA 033-14. Inspections of welded assemblies are conducted in accordance with ISO 3452-1 and ISO 17628 standards, typically after any necessary Post Weld Heat Treatment (PWHT). Additionally, ground areas must be examined using magnetic particle testing as per ISO 17628 standards. A marking plan for these areas should be maintained in the piping documentation.
