1. (1) Butt welds of pipes made from carbon, carbon manganese, or low alloy steels must meet § 56.50-105 of this chapter, including the requirements for post-weld heat treatment.

2. (2) Except for piping inside an independent cargo tank type A, B, or C, butt welds must be 100% radiographically tested if the design temperature is lower than −10 °C (14 °F), and:

   1. (i) The wall thickness is greater than 10 mm (0.394 in.); or
   2. (ii) The nominal pipe diameter is greater than 100 mm (nominal 4 in.).
3. (3) If Table 4 references this section, butt welds for deck cargo piping exceeding 75 mm (3 in.) in diameter must be 100% radiographically tested.
4. (4) Butt welds of pipes not meeting paragraph (b)(2) or (b)(3) of this section must meet the non-destructive testing requirements under Subpart 56.95 of this chapter.
