Re: [MW:3991] RE: 3981] RE: 3979] Need confirmation as per code

Hi,   what will be the approximate length of line? You need to see that the line is not pressurized, If there are any vent valves on the lines release pressure and keep them open until welding of support pads/shoes is done. As Raj said preheating is required.   (In the view of hydro testing If there are enough supports on the line regarding stability of line hydrotesting can be done and support pads/shoes can be welded latter and no need of any further hydrotesting)   I do not think for every fabrication step there will be a code   Ohm-Srinivas ohm guru namasivaya --- On Thu, 1/7/10, rajagopal kannan <rajagopal.kannan@gmail.com> wrote: From: rajagopal kannan <rajagopal.kannan@gmail.com> Subject: Re: [MW:3987] RE: 3981] RE: 3979] Need confirmation as per code To: materials-welding@googlegroups.com Date: Thursday, January 7, 2010, 4:04 PM Hi, I could understand in this particular case, you need a preheat. Just see, in the factual conditions to maintain the preheat and ensure no sudden cooling. If you can do that, you can go for welding. Thanks, K.Rajagopal 2010/1/7 ctcit-an&mma-Dilip Kumar <dilipkumar@ctci.co.th> Hi,   I understand, you mention system is filled by water for hydro test, but hydro test not yet done. And if Owner is allowing you to perform the welding, you should go ahead; regarding welding point of view, welding is allowable in piping when system is filled, Even with hydro carbon and under pressure during HOT TAPPING WORK.   Sorry I right now I am not in position to find any code for you, for welding applicable, you should contact your QA/QC manager.   Thanks   With regards.   Dilip Kumar ( 帝力普 庫馬 ) P  Note- Please consider the environment before printing this e-mail.

So I think your Hydro test was rejected . you should release the water & weld the pad & again do the test.   Sincerely yours Hamed Malekan .Panahsaz Iran Eng.
