Your understandings are correct.
First of all if the H2S partial pressure is less than 0.05 psia, it does not
fall under sour service category (unless other factors specified in Sec 6.0
of NACE MR0175/ISO15156-2 is adverse). It is normally designated as NON Sour
service. NACE MR0175/ISO15156 does not discuss in detail about this service
requirement.
1. A 106 Gr B, A 234 product forms are seamless in construction & due to the
manufacturing route, these materials are least susceptible to HIC & SSC.
Normally these materials not require any SSC /HIC resistance test unless
stipulated by a project/ material specification. They can be used without
any testing for sour service conditions (subject to meeting A 2.1.2 /A 2.1.3
& sulfur as mentioned in sec 8.0 i.e 0.01% for S/Less & 0.025 % for castings
& forging).
2. If all other factors specified in Sec 6.0 of NACE MR0175/ISO15156-2 does
meet, & Project material specification does not call specifically tests (the
design criteria like need not call for additional testing during the
material selection process).
3. NO. Subject to meeting A 2.1.2 /A 2.1.3 conditions and Project material
specification does not call specifically for stringent testing (the design
criteria like this need not call for additional testing during the material
selection process).
4. Normally No. Seamless & forging products with current modern technology
manufacturing route are less likely HIC/SSC sensitive.
5. Yes. Casting are less susceptible to HIC. (Subject to Sulfur content &
heat treatment restriction). Normally Flat rolled products & products formed
from Flat rolled products are more susceptible to HIC.
