(150 mm) and shall include the entire weld circumference for pipe(s), except that for small diameter pipe, multiple coupons of the same diameter pipe may be required, but the  number need not exceed four consecutively made test coupons.

Dear all,

When we qualify welder for performance qualification by NDT we need to take RT-150mm. My quarry is, if we need to qualify 1/2" pipe for diameter qualification, whether we need to weld 3 piece to take RT of 150mm.

Ragards,
