This document outlines the ultrasonic testing (UT) inspection plan and procedures for an industrial project. It includes: 1. A review of UT personnel qualifications and certification requirements. 2. Calibration and verification requirements for UT equipment and mock-ups using calibration blocks. 3. In-process inspection tasks like verifying UT techniques and procedures, evaluating UT reports, and ensuring NDE process control including repairs. 4. It specifies the use of SAIC checklists and database entry for UT inspection results, as outlined in the Saudi Aramco engineering standards.

NOTICE (SAEP-1160, Section 9.2): Use of Welding and NDT SAICS 9.2.1 One SAIC per day per activity is required for production welding on a daily or continual basis, e.g., fit-up, in-process, and final
inspection. Applicable weld numbers must be entered in Remarks Box on the appropriate SAIC. 9.2.2 Special welding activities such as branch connections, tie-ins, sleeve installation, hot-tap welding, and
temperature tie-ins will require a separate IR per weld per activity in accordance with the applicable SATIP. 9.2.3 NDT subcontractors must complete NDT Checklists on a daily basis per above but not as an IR
with the exception of the start of NDT activities. SAIC-W-2008 details SAEP-1160 Data Reqmts for Welding with NDE Control per SAIC-UT-2010.

Hold: QA/QC organization shall be notified of the timing of inspection or test in advance. Inspection or test shall not be carried out without the QA/QC organization
representative in attendance.
If the Main Contractor delegates the assigned responsibility to the Subcontractor, then the Main Contractor will have the same degree of responsibility as assigned to Saudi Aramco.
The first three incidents of each Inspection or testing activity listed require 100 % participation by Saudi Aramco Site Inspection Personnel. After this period, Saudi Aramco Inspection may adjust the
levels of Saudi Aramco participation based upon the Contractor’s performance.
