[MW:2897] Re: THICKNESS GAUGING OF CLADDED/OVERLAID VESSELS/PIPING

By Materials & Welding
Try this; prepare mock ups with open cross sections and plot what you see in the D-meter against what you can measure by a vernier with a bit of etching the edges.You will get some clue and from there you can get going. Not difficult really.
Good luck,

Dear,
 
        If you want exact measurement, it is better to produce similar calibration block of same material and as cladded to calibrate your D-Meter. But, as cladding use to be less thick you may not find much difference while velocity is concern in thickness measurement. (note the cladding fussion zone problems)

Dears,
I seak advise on how to calibrate the normal Ultrasonic Thickness metering
device to measure the thickness of C.S. Vessels and piping with clad or
overlay while they are in service (on stream inspection). The required
accuracy of reading is 1 mm Max.

Thanks

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

By Materials & Welding
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

By Materials & Welding
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...
