The document discusses various radiographic techniques for detecting welding discontinuities and defects. It describes volume, planar, and linear discontinuities that can be detected using radiography or ultrasonic testing. Specific techniques are outlined for single wall single image, double wall single image, and double wall double image radiography of welds on pipes and joints. Examples of discontinuities like incomplete penetration, cracks, and incomplete fusion that can be identified radiographically are shown.

RADIOGRAPHY OF WELDS
THE WELDING DISCONTINUITIES OF AND DEFECTS CAN BE CLASSIFIED IN TO VOLUME DISCONTINUITIES PLANNAR DISCONTINUITIES LINEAR DISCONTINUITIES RADIOGRAPHY IS THE BEST METHOD TO RECORD VOLUME DISCONTINUITIES. ULTRASONIC IS BEST SUITED FOR VOLUME & PLANNAR DISCONTINUITIES.

VOLUME DISCONTINUITIES
1. POROSITY - INDIVIDUAL, CLUSTER,ALIGNED,RANDOM WORM HOLES,HOLLOW BEAD. 2. INCLUSIONS - NON METALLIC&METALIC,SLAG,SLAG LINE(WAGON TRACKS) 3. BURN THROUGH 4. SUCKBACK OR CONCAVITY.

PLANNAR DISCONTINUITIES
LOF BETWEEN PASSES. LAMINATION IN PLATES NOT DETECTED BY RADIOGRAPHY

LINEAR DISCONTINUITIES
1. LOF BETWEEN SIDEWALLS AND WELD 2. INCOMPLETE PENETRATION 3. CRACKS 4. MISMATCH WITH IF. 5. INCOMPLETE FUSION AT ROOT OR CAP.
