NOTES:
1/ Specimens shall be taken from the approximate start, middle and end of the weld as shown in figure A-2.
2/ For welds fabricated from both sides, side bend testing shall be used in lieu of root bend tests for thicknesses greater than ½ inch.
3/ Macro-etch specimens shall be prepared as specified in A-3.5.2.3.
4/ Visual inspection of all test assemblies shall be performed per A-3.5 prior to other nondestructive testing and any destructive testing. 5/ Inspect 100 percent of friction stirred material when radiographic, ultrasonic, or liquid penetrant testing is specified, except for discarded areas.
6/ NAVSEA approval of the pre-penetrant chemical etch procedure in accordance with NAVSEA T9074-AS-GIB-010/271 shall be obtained prior to PT inspection of assemblies.
7/ Liquid penetrant inspection shall be performed prior to ultrasonic testing.
8/ Ultrasonic inspection shall only be performed on base material thickness ¼ inch and greater.
9/ For full penetration FS, both surfaces of the friction stirred region, including ½ inch of the adjacent base material, shall be inspected by VT and PT.
10/ Test specimens shall be taken from the repaired region of the test assembly that contained the defect.
