We are currently in fabricating a project that consists of about 5000 socket welds. Recently the client have X-rayed abot 60 welds to check the gap. The results for the gap were 100% clear. However they found a "lack of penetration" right in the corner of the weld on about 30 welds.
On further examnation it was noted that over 50% of the fittings have an inside bevel of about 2mm top and bottom.It looks like the bevel is tohelp putting the pipe into the fitting. Can someone please advise if this bevel could be the cause of the lack of penetration.
