I've been pipefitting and boilermaking for 12 years.I just started a job that I had to take a 6g 2 inch test. The contractor was going on ASME B 31.1 specs.This spec has to do with boiler procedures.but the tester and contractor wanted 6010 root. Which ad a pipefitter I'm well familiar with and have passed 100's of xray level 3 tests. But this contractor has hired a new testing company and within 2 weeks I have busted 2 tests with porosity which I've NEVER had a problem with.one question is if I'm (under B31.1 should be using boiler procedures for this, which is stated as tig root and stick out)Is there a different percentage of allowance on slag...porosity ect on a 6010 root as opposed to a tig root?Last edited by millpiondapiary; 03-18-2015 at 08:13 PM.
Reply:I think ASME specs say you're allowed a maximum 1/8" flaw regardless but some inspectors want no flaws. 6010 root and 7018 fill and cap is common. You don't mention where the porosity is?
