General Provisions
摘要
In general, the guidance contained and outlined within this text is applicable to hull and structural steel welds. The processes of inspection, techniques, calibration, and technician requirements are common for inspection of materials and welds in machinery, pipes, equipment, and pressure vessels. However, the extent of testing and acceptance/rejection criteria may differ from those described for hull welds. In such cases, the requirements of applicable sections of the Class Rules and/or appropriate Standards will typically apply.
