Tower Bay 1: QA Inspector performed ultrasonic verification testing of skin plate Complete Joint Penetration
(CJP) butt joint after ZPMC QC UT acceptance. QA Inspector UT tested plate ESD1 SA216 A/K 13b side "B".
QA Ultrasonic Testing (UT) was performed to verify that a minimum of 10% of the weld meets the requirements
of the contract documents and AWS D1.5-2002. The weld and base metal were scanned utilizing a Krautkramer
Branson USN 60 #01RN5T. QA Inspector performed a base metal lamination check using a 25mm diameter 2.25
MHz transducer and a shear wave scan using a 20mm x 15mm 2.25 MHz transducer on a 70 and 45 degree angle
wedges from face A. For details please see the ultrasonic testing report TL-6027 dated April 27, 2008. QA
Inspector found the welds inspected to be in compliance with AWS D1.5- 2002 Table 6.3 and the contract
documents.
