This part of BS 9690 specifies the basic requirements for screening pipes and similar tubular objects using the guided wave testing (GWT) method, including set-up, data collection and basic interpretation of the data.It is intended to be read in conjunction with BS 9690-1.
This part is applicable to the testing of ferritic carbon and low-alloy steel pipes (tubes used for the transport of fluids) and structural tubulars (tubes used for load-bearing constructions) in the diameter range 1 inch (25 mm) to 60 inches (1.52 m), with maximum wall thickness of 2.2 inches (55 mm).
