(1) Preweld weldment members shall conform to joint configuration cleanliness, fit-up, and tack welding as specified in this procedure.

(2) In-Process - The welding will be checked to determine that the provisions of this procedure are being followed such as correct preheat, correct electrode, correct weld, layer size, correct electrode size, etc.

(3) Post-Weld - The finished weld shall be inspected to verify conformance to this specification and weld procedure. The following weld metal defects are considered unacceptable:

(a) Cracks;

(b) Craters;

(c) Porosity exceeding 3/8-inch in any linear inch of weld and 3/4-inch in any 12 inches length of weld;

(d) Incomplete fusion or penetration;
