• Selection of NDE contractors
• Review of proposed NDE procedures
• Coordination of material for calibration block production, as required
• Fabrication of girth welds samples, with typical fabrication defects embedded (seeded defects) where required
• Coordination of AUT inspection of welds with seeded defects and supply RT of these welds as needed
• Destructive sectioning of girth weld samples
• Statistical analysis of AUT predictions, RT reports and actual measured flaw sizes
• Determination of NDE sizing errors for AUT
• Approval of NDE procedures
• Compilation of qualification records and supplying documentation package
