Non-Destructive Weld Test Specimens
The Non- Destructive Testing Certification Body (NDTCB) at Natural Resources Canada (NRCan), Hamilton, ON, has a requirement for the manufacture and delivery of various weld test specimens. The test specimens will be used in the examination process for Ultrasonic, Magnetic particle and Liquid penetrant or other NDT methods.
The Contractor must deliver the completed weld specimens and master defect sheets as outlined in Sections 6, 7 and 8 of Annex A, Statement of Work.
Specifications and Standards
Each piece to be manufactured must be treated as a separate test piece.
While itis acceptable to have the same type of defect within each sample, their location, size, shape or orientation must be different. Multiple samples of a weld must not be identical. They must have enough vari
ation making them viable exam test pieces.
To ensure randomization of specimens, the Contractor must provide 65 total specimens with the following
defects:
- 10 specimens must have 5 defects;
- 15 specimens must have 4 defects;
- 20 specimens must have 3 defects;
- 20 specimens must have 2 defects

2. The verification inspections used to compile the defect master sheets, must be performed by personnel possessing, as a minimum, Level-II certification in the required inspection method (PT, MT and UT). This certification must be basedon a scheme from a nationally recognized certification body such as the CGSB/NRCAN or ASNT.
3. Bidders must provide a summary of their proposed design plans for each test specification with their bid to show which process they would use to manufactu
re defects. They must show how they would meet the requirement for insertion of 2 to 5 randomly orientated defects per sample in ac
cordance with Sections 6.3, 7.3 and 8.5 of Annex A, Statement of Work.
