Questions: A. MT or PT After Stress Relief, But Before Hydrostatic Testing

This document contains 8 multiple choice questions related to non-destructive examination (NDE) requirements for welds on pressure vessels: 1. The questions ask about NDE requirements for stress relieved assemblies, butt weld repairs, permanent attachment welds, welded-on patch plates, and bottom plate repairs. 2. Additional radiography is required at intersections of new and old welds, and for every 50 feet of horizontal weld when a new shell plate is welded into an existing tank. 3. Defects in an intersection between new and old welds must be repaired if unacceptable to the new standard, even if acceptable to the original construction standard.
