A fuliengh visual inspection of the ente outside and inside surfaces, excluding the threads, shall be

Use the folowing procedure for entra visual inspection:
a), dently he upper one-third ofeach length wih a chalk mark;
+) examine each pipe surface by walking the length ofeach pipe fom ons end to the other. The number of
