Exposure Geometry
The double wall, double image technique shall be used for
piping of less than 3 112 in. inclusive. A t least t w o
exposures separated by 90 degrees shall be made for the
radiographic inspection of a complete weld.
One
penetrameter on the source side with its length

For single wall, single image, at least four penetrameters
spaced approximately equally around the circumference of
the pipe shall be used at source side.
Double wall, single image shall be used for pipe diameter >
3 112 in. The penetrameter shall be placed on source side,
if applicable; otherwise, it shall be placed on film side at
the mid length of the film: an overlap of at least 2 in. is
required between shots.
