ASME Section V
Nondestructive Examination
The methods and procedural requirements for NDE — radiography, ultrasonics, magnetic particle, liquid penetrant, visual and more. Other codes reference it for how an examination is carried out, while stating separately what must be examined and what is acceptable.
This is an explanation, not the standard. PipingInspector is not affiliated with ASME and reproduces no part of the document. Always work to the current edition of the standard itself and to your project specification.
