Yes. Per ASME B31.1, Table 136.4, for butt welds exposed to service temperatures above 400 deg C inclusive of all pressures and over 2 NPS in size, the entire (100%) weld joint shall be examined by RT. Also read paragraph 136.4.5 regarding RT.

For welded branch connections under the same category, the RT requirement is for pipe sizes over 4 NPS.
