control procedures required to ensure a satisfactory repair has been done are subject to review
and acceptance by the Purchaser.
8.3 Re-inspection
The Purchaser shall have the right to specify additional inspection or testing. Unacceptable
defects so revealed shall be cause for rejection of the part or, alternatively, for repair and

3 Oersteds. The indication material shall be removed after completing the examination.
8.6.1 Acceptance Standards
Any imperfections producing indications with a major dimension greater than 0.8 mm (1/32 in.)
located on the seating surfaces, identified with surface finish requirements on the drawing, shall
be considered relevant and shall be cause for rejection.
On surfaces other than the seating surfaces the requirements of the ASME BPVC, Section III,
NB-2545.3 shall apply. On these surfaces only, defects may be eliminated in accordance with
