[MW:1709] Re: 1707] Impact test requirement of Nozzle to shell & Nozzle neck to flange welding

Hi Mr.Bathula,

From this question i understand that both SA333 Gr.6 (Nozzle neck) & SA350 Gr. LF2 Cl2 (Flange) which comes under curve B as per UCS 66 which requires imact testting at -30deg C & 10mm thk. combination.

Can u clarify on what basis this joint is exempted ?

UCS 66 (a) (1) (d) to be followed for governing thickness, in this case governing thickness will be 10mm ( see fig L-9.3.1), hence Impact testing of material is exempted for this (neck to shell) and also for neck to flange weld.

However impact testing of shell material is required for other welds such as circumferential or long seams, In this case PQR with CVN impact is required when either base metal is required to be impact tested as per UCS-67(a)(1)

Shell to nozzle neck weld - Is it required Impact tested WPS/PQR?

YES
Nozzle neck to flange weld - Is it required Impact tested WPS/PQR?

NO

Hi friends,

Please help me in following matter.

I need a clarification regarding the impact test requirement for Nozzle weld.

Material - SA 516 Gr.70 Normalised (Shell)

SA333 Gr.6 (Nozzle neck)

SA350 Gr. LF2 Cl2 (Flange)

Shell thickness - 80 mm

Nozzle thickness - 10 mm

MDMT- minus 30 deg.c

Code : ASME Sec. VIII Div. 1

Shell to nozzle neck weld - Is it required Impact tested WPS/PQR ?
Nozzle neck to flange weld - Is it required Impact tested WPS/PQR ?

As per UCS 66 (1) d. The weded asembly more than 2 component, the individual component thickness and MDMT to be checked. In this case the thickness of groove is higher than nozzle neck. What thickness to be considered?.

UCS 66 (1) d. refers the sketches in Sec. VIII to decide minimum thk. it makes confusion.

Thanks & Regards

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...
