Acceptance by

Quality level

ISO 5817:2023: D, C and B by Table 1. C63, B90 and B125 are levels C and B with the additional criteria of Annex B for welds subject to fatigue.

Weld

Joint

Plate thickness t

Weld thickness s t if empty

Weld length if under 100 mm

Fusion welds in steel, nickel, titanium and their alloys, 0.5 mm and above. t is the nominal wall or plate thickness.

Rows of the VT report one row per imperfection

Format

Weld; Joint; t (mm); a (mm); Imperfection; h (mm); b (mm); l (mm)

One row per imperfection: the weld, the joint (BW butt weld, FW fillet weld), the plate thickness t, the throat a of a fillet weld, the ISO 6520-1 number of the imperfection (or its name), the measured value h (d for a pore, the angle in degrees for 505), and b and l where they are needed. Write ? for a value you cannot read.

Read the visual testing (VT) report in the attached photo, scan or PDF. Return one row per imperfection found, with this header row: Weld; Joint; t (mm); a (mm); Imperfection; h (mm); b (mm); l (mm). Joint: BW butt weld, FW fillet weld. t: plate thickness; a: throat of a fillet weld. Imperfection: its ISO 6520-1 number (for example 5011, 502), or its name as written. h: the measured size (for 505 the angle in degrees); b: width; l: length. Skip welds without imperfections. Rules: copy every value exactly as written, with its decimal mark; do not round, convert or calculate anything. If a value is unclear, crossed out or hidden, write ? in its place. Never guess a value. Leave a cell empty if the document has no value for it, and leave out a column that would be empty in every row. Leave out names of people and any other personal data. Answer with the rows as plain text: one row per line, columns separated by semicolons (;), no table formatting, no comments. After the rows, add one last line: the link https://acorweld.com/tools/weld-imperfections/#ai/vfText/ followed by the same rows, with | for each line break and + for each space, ending with /end. Example: https://acorweld.com/tools/weld-imperfections/#ai/vfText/Weld;Joint;t+(mm);a+(mm);Imperfection;h+(mm)|W1;BW;10;;5011;0.4/end Write the link as plain text on its own line, not in a code block and not as a markdown link. The link puts the answer straight into the ACorWeld tool.

Each row is a weld with its thickness and one imperfection, by its ISO 6520-1 number, with the measured value; the requirement above applies to every row.
