PnEING EVERETT SECTION 34 11 16 <br /> NEW RAII SPUR VJELDING OF RAIL <br /> VJORK OROER 10305 <br /> 2. Radiagraphic Test: The tesl samples for pressure weld and Ihermite welda shell be <br /> radiographically tesled in eccordance with ASTM �: 142, 'Controlling Quality ol <br /> Radiographic Testing.' <br /> a. The radiographic lesta shell detect flaws in welds wilh suHicient detail to establiah <br /> the ability of lhe weld to meet lhe requiremenla spec�ed herein. II a defective <br /> weld is detected, lhe welding procedure shall be madified and lhe tesls repeated. <br /> b. At least four areas ol each weld shall be rediographed: the head, lhe web, and <br /> each side of the base. The presence of any cracka or voids shall be cause for <br /> rejection. <br /> c. Each radiographic film ahell be identified, through the use o1 numbers and letters, <br /> t� show lhe Contract Number, the Rail identity, the Date, Inspection Agency, and <br /> the View. A letter u� ceR�cation shall be submitted with each film to Boeing <br /> Construclion Maneger. The letter shali state the information given on the film and <br /> whether lhe weld meets or tails to meel the requiremente specified herein. <br /> d. Each weld shall have complele fusion with no evidence o1 suAace or internal <br /> cracks or fiasures. In thermite welds, porosity or slag inclusion will be tolerated <br /> provided lhet the largesl defecl doas not exceed 1/8 inch in any dimension and the <br /> tolal area of all detects does not exceed 0.06 square inches. <br /> e. Nondeslructive inspection of inetal welds by radiographic use ol nuclear by- <br /> product materials ahall be In accordance with United States Nuclear Regulatory <br /> Commission Rules and Regulations, Tille 10, Atomic Energy, PaA 20, 'Standards <br /> for Protection Ageinat Radiation' Transportation, handling, and storage of <br /> hazardous materials used in nondestruclive inspection o1 welds shell be peRormed <br /> only by or under the supervision of e persan of proven experience and ebility <br /> operating under a proper license. <br /> f. The laboralory end procedure to be utilized and radiographic lesting shall be <br /> submitted lo the Boeing Conslruction Mer.ager for approval. <br /> 3 Ultrasonic Test end Magnetic Perticle Test: The test samples for pressure end thermite <br /> welds chall be ultrasonically tesled and tested using Ihe magnelic particle method. <br /> Certified test reports shall be foiwardeA to Bceing Construction Menager tor review. <br /> Acceptance shall be in accordance with A�Kicie 1.04E. <br /> 4 Dynamic Test for Sample Rail Welda One ot each type sample weld thet has passed the <br /> radiographic and ultrasonic testing shall be subjecled to the tollowing dynemic testi�g <br /> The test sample rail wetd shall be supported on 36-inch cenlers with the weld located <br /> between eupparts as shown in Figure 02041-1, Repeated loads shall be applied wilh two <br /> hydraulic rams F,pply loads to the rail allematively el Poinls A and B Each load shall <br /> vary fron zero to 44,400 pounds in Ihe approximate shape of a sine curve Loads shell <br /> be appl'ed for two million cycles Application of load at Point A and lhen at Poinl 8 shall <br /> constiti te one cycle. Rail dellection shall be measured every 500,000 load cycles et <br /> Poinl!,and recorded to the nearest 0 001 inch. loads shall be monitored with load cells <br /> placed between each ram and the rail head. These load cells sha�l be calibrated prior to <br /> comme uement of the test program. <br /> a Ac;eptance Criteria: Afler 2,000.000 cycles, the rail weld Joint shail show no <br /> evi�lence of failure by bending The deilection of Bie rail shall not exceed 0 065 <br /> inch during the test DeOection shall be measured after every 500.000 load cycles. <br /> 5 Slow Bend Tesl for Sample Rail Welds One of each type sample weld which has <br /> passed the radiographic and ultrasoNc testing ehall be subJected to Ihe Slow Bend Tests <br /> Permit Set 34 11 76-4 <br /> SeDtember 23, 2011 <br />
