This standard specifies the general methods for detecting location and size of welding flaws and evaluating welding flaws, as well as methods for grading quality of welds. These methods use ultrasonic flaw testing with single or double crystal angle beam probe to contact objects for detecting fusion welds between structural steel members and cone heads or sealing plates on bolted spherical joints, as well as detecting butt welds of steel pipes.
This standard is applicable to manual A-scan pulse-echo ultrasonic flaw testing of welds between steel members (common-carbon and low-alloy, with base metal thickness of 3.5 mm~25 mm and pipe diameter of not less than 48 mm) and cone heads or sealing plates, as well as butt welds of steel pipes (with base metal thickness of 3.5 mm~25 mm and pipe diameter of not less than 48 mm), and also applicable to quality grading according to the testing result.

3 Testing personnel
3.1 Testing personnel to perform ultrasonic testing for welding flaws of space grid structures must master the basic knowledge and skills of ultrasonic testing, have experience in surface welding flaws testing, have been trained and assessed in accordance with the relevant national provisions, and hold corresponding qualification and level certificates for non-destructive testing personnel issued by relevant assessment organizations.
3.2 On-site ultrasonic testing for welding flaws must comply with relevant safety regulations. When the testing conditions do not meet the requirements for testing process or the operation conditions are not safe, the testing personnel shall be entitled to stop the testing until the conditions are improved to meet the requirements before testing again.
3.3 The vision of testing personnel shall be checked once a year in accordance with those specified in GB 11533, and the corrected vision shall not be lower than 5.0.
