49 C.F.R. § 195.228 Welds and welding inspection: Standards of acceptability.
Title 49 - Transportation
(a) Each weld and welding must be inspected to insure compliance with the requirements of this subpart. Visual inspection must be supplemented by nondestructive testing. (b) The acceptability of a weld is determined according to the standards in Section 9 of API 1104. However, if a girth weld is unacceptable under those standards for a reason other than a crack, and if Appendix A to API 1104 (ibr, see §195.3) applies to the weld, the acceptability of the weld may be determined under that appendix.
