Asme section viii div i appendix 7

[Muhammad Awais]

Asme section viii div i appendix 7 deals with the acceptance creteria for LP of steel casting but if I am doing LP testing on a cast sleeve made of bronze , would the acceptance creteria be changed or remains same ?
Reponce will be appreciated

Appendix 7 is for use with steel castings requiring a 100% quality factor.

If the requirements within Appendix 7 are to be used with other materials and for other reasons, that needs to be agreed upon between the supplier and the purchaser, before manufacturing begins.

Lets say , If client leave it up to the inpection team to decide acceptance creteria thn , can steel casting acceptance creteria be applied to bronze casting sleeve ?

 

[Muhammad Awais]

Here is the attachment of bronze sleeve aftr LP .. I need to respond to client about its acceptance/ rejection.. If i refer appendix seven then client may question me that appendix seven is for steel casting not for bronze casting ?
How should I reject the test with proper justification refering to code ?

 

[DVWE]

1. Is there an ASME specification this casting is being made to? (for example, SB-61)

2. Why did you perform PT? Was this type of inspection in the contract?

If i refer appendix seven then client may question me that appendix seven is for steel casting not for bronze casting ?

Yes. I would question the application of Appendix 7 if I were the client.

How should I reject the test with proper justification refering to code ?

Again, I'm curious why you performed PT. Typically, if PT is performed, the agreement is with the client and purchaser, along with the acceptance criteria.

Did you review UG-24?

 

[Muhammad Awais]

Yes ASME specification SB-61.
Visually pore were there so we decided to perform PT and as such there was no client instruction for PT.

 

[Muhammad Awais]

Yes I did..
But can you please help me interpret UG-24(a) 1 through 5 more easily for my understanding with repect to cast bronze sleeve ?

 

[DVWE]

Visually pore were there so we decided to perform PT and as such there was no client instruction for PT.

This is what I expected.

I suggest you contact your client, and review SB-61, 3.1 and 3.1.4. Also review with your client SB-824 Section 9. Inform your client of what you have found visually.

I would not suggest you to use UG-24 unless you meet all of UG-24 (2), and (2)(a) through (d)
