BS 7257:1989 provides standardized methods for the radiographic examination of fusion welded branch and nozzle joints in steel components, with the aim of detecting internal discontinuities such as cracks, porosity, lack of fusion, and inclusions.
Key points covered in the scope include:
Selection of radiographic techniques appropriate for complex geometries like branch and nozzle joints
Types of radiation sources (e.g. X-ray or gamma ray) and recommended exposure parameters
Film types, screens, and image quality indicators (IQIs) to be used
Positioning of the radiation source and film to maximize defect detection
Techniques for minimizing distortion and superimposition of joint features
Criteria for radiographic sensitivity and image quality
Interpretation and evaluation of radiographs in accordance with applicable acceptance standards
