[MW:592] Re: Copyright issues

Dear All,
It is better to share our opinions, experiances without transmitting  international standrds , codes and  avoid the copy rights related problems. We can quote the refrence clause of  specific  code or standard and  our understanding , way of  using it etc.,  while communicating with in the group.

Dear All,
My advice stands. What you might choose to do within your own company is one thing - I'm sure your company lawyers can help you on matters of copyright. What you post to a world-wide, public group is another. For your information, I am a registered member of this group. If the originators of the group intended it to be a private, internal group, they shouldn't have done it through Google - it's the gateway to the entire world!
 
I think that this is a very useful forum and a splendid way to share advice and information - just please be careful about copyright issues. The API in particular seems to be very hot on them. If you buy a digital (PDF) version of their specs now, single-user versions are literally that - you'll only be able to install it on one machine and you can only print it once. Which is great if your printer runs out of ink half-way through. I've gone back to buying paper copies.
 
I do consulting work on various oilfield problems and I teach materials, corrosion and welding matters to M.Sc. students at the Robert Gordon University in Aberdeen, where they are VERY sensitive about copyright issues.
 
Regards to all and keep up the good work!
 
Owen Jenkins.

Dear Mr. Kannan,
 
I don't think there is any problem in sending the attachment all across as we are doing with our company and to other companies. Since these are soft copies of the docs. which we are circulating we are not breaching the laws of copy rights in any case. These attachments are circulated for sharing the knowledge and not for destructive activities.

Dear Friends,

A non- member has posted this message. I am sorry on posting a part para of the API code for better understanding.

I think and suggest to this group, as does yahoogroups, it would be better to avoid even attachments.

I request all others to follow suit and take this seriously as I have now.

Again sorry to all members and moderators for causing to be noticed by someone somewhere.

With regards,
Kannan Sundaram.

Re: [MW:34105] SA266 GR4N 4 Cycle SPWHT

Hi,  You are correct, Minimum refers to the one cycle for which this part will expose until final work shop PWHT. hence mill test certificate shall include this.  Max. SPWHT, refers to additional cycles of heat treatment that are reserved for future repairs during equipment lifetime.  Again, these simulated no. Of cycles shall be specified in MTC.  The idea is we need to make sure that steel mechanical properties are not compromised upon exposure to multiple repairs (i e 4 cycles in your case).  One could say, if steel is subjected to 4 cycles and is ok, then it should by defacto be good for one cycle, yet, this is wrong assumption cause mechanical problems and microstructure of materials varies accordingly based on no. Of cycles for which material will expose. This is apparent in alloy steel and especially for impact test values as an example.  In your case, this forged CS with properties before PWHT can be understood to be " as forged" condition (i.e. Wit...

Heat tint (temper) colours on stainless steel surfaces heated in air // Heat tint

Introduction The colour formed when stainless steel is heated, either in a furnace application or in the heat affected zone of welds, is dependent on several factors that are related to the oxidation resistance of the steel. The heat tint or temper colour formed is caused by the progressive thickening of the surface oxide layer and so, as temperature is increased, the colours change.   Oxidation resistance of stainless steels However, there are several factors that affect the degree of colour change and so there is no a single table of colour and temperature that represents all cases. The colours formed can only be used as an indication of the temperature to which the steel has been heated. Factors affecting the heat tint colours formed Steel composition The chromium content is the most important single factor affecting oxidation resistance. The higher the chromium, the more heat resistant the steel and so the development of the heat tint colou...
