Dear All Respected Expert,

I have question regarding API 5C6 section 5.4

statement is "Brinell hardness survey is not acceptable for testing weld metal heat affected zone in a PQR test".

why Brinell hardness survey is not acceptable on this recommended practice?

thanks and warm regards

Too large a diameter of ball relative to width of HAZ is one reason.
