[MW:7969]

Dear all ,

 I hope the detail which I am going to ask  may be familiar to all,

 

The Query is for GTAW –Carbon Steel welding some time we will use ER-70S-6 but it is not  having valid A-Number as per ASME Section IX. But in ASME Section II –C they given this electrode chemical composition for one range but in ASME Section IX they have some limitations for A-Numbers. Why this happens it all under ASME Code. Can anyone explain. How to solve this problem. For example some company bought ER-70S-6 in huge amount what they will do.  Please find a solution?????????????

RE: [MW:7968] PWHT

Dear sir,

       According to the ASME B31.1 and to your below detail first I confirm it that PWHT is required.

 

The details as follows,

As per ASME B31.3 Table 331.1.1 

 P1-carbon steel :

 Thickness greater than 19 mm  and tensile strength for all, the PWHT minimum metal temperature shall be 5930 - 6490 C for 2.4 hr.

 

P5A-Alloy steel:

 

Thickness greater than 13 mm  and tensile strength for all, the PWHT minimum metal temperature shall be 7040 - 7600 C for 2.4 hr.

 

 So you can do PWHT with 7040 - 7600 C for 2.4 hr and cooling rate shall be followed by the same table notes.

 

It is my understanding. If any controversy let me know. Thank You.

 

Regards,

 

J.C.Andrews,

QA/QC Engineer,

Doha-Qatar.

Good morning,

Please see below the data of piping line for erection:

- Diameter of pipe: 48”

- Produced: liquefied natural gas.

- Piping class: D41A

- Piping thickness: 38mm.

- Weldolet thickness : 15mm.

- Design code: ASME B31. 3. 2008 Edition.

Ans: [MW:7967] purpose of doing nick-break test.

The NICK-BREAK TEST is useful for determining the internal quality of the weld metal. This test reveals various internal defects (if present), such as slag
inclusions,  gas  pockets,  lack  of  fusion,  and  oxidized  or burned metal. To accomplish the nick-break test for checking a butt weld, you must first flame-cut the test specimens from a sample weld . Make a saw cut at each edge through the center of the weld

Dear Mr Baskaran,

This test is performed to reveal internal imperfections such as slag inclusion, lack of fusion, incomplete penetration, porosity, etc in a butt weld.  A butt weld specimen is fractured along an artificial notch that is intentionally machined on the centre line of the fillet weld specimen to facilitate fracture in the centre of the weld. The fractured specimen cross section is then visually examined for imperfections.

[MW:7966] Acceptance criteria for Mechanical testing.......

Please comment on the following issue.
 
As per BS EN 10225, S420G2+M--thickness less than 40mm should have a tensile strength of 500 to 660MPa. Material test certifactes shows a vaue of 623MPa. This material is used for welding procedure qualification test where the tensile strength reported is 550Mpa. My collegue who is reviewing the WPS\PQR says that he will reject the WPS\PQR because tensile value of PQR test specimen is less than 623MPa. My opinion is that the PQR test specimen meets BS EN 10225 and so should be accepted.
 
Please comment on this issue.

Re: Re: [MW:7963] No of Welders

Dear Friends,

Here question is no of welders could be qualified using a single coupon ,For qualficiation of welder min 12 " weld length is required to validate a welder performance by radiography or four bend test at required positions as per code  and  accordingly we can qualify no of welders per coupon .For 16" pipe line coupon two welders may be qualified in order to maintain welding sequence of pipeline welding .

Re: Re: [MW:7962] No of Welders


Dear Mr. Das,
First of all, my appologies for refering a wrong para of API1104. Read 6.1 for 621.
I don't think it mandatory to have 2 welders on pipes above 12", I couldn't find any thing to support this requirement in API 1104. Whereas in Section IX it is allowed to qualify more than one welder on a single test coupon. Refer QW-306.
It is not mandatory to use two welders in pipes larger than 12" in Section IX also.

As a custom for above 12" pipe we will be using 2 welders for the welding process. It is so done because of heat input and distribution factors I beleive, but my question was that do this is stated as mandatory in any of the codes or standards.

RE: [MW:7958] No of Welders

Dears,

Is it acceptable to qualify 2 welders (ASME IX - 6G - one by side) per cupon (down from 12" NPS) or not ?

In my opinion, technically it is not acceptable to qualify two welders in same cupon

1. As per Section IX , diameter is specified for welder qualification QW 452.3. 

2.Since hand movement will be different in two sides (clock wise and anti clock wise), each welder is preferred to qualified in separate coupons. If the thickness does not matters ( low thickness) , you can qualify the welders with 2" pipe. Also record wise ( RT films), it will be difficult.

I am no so familiar with API 1104

thanks and regards,

Arun

In regard to the attached manufacturers information , the deviation in chemical composition may be rather high.
 
This may require preheating, which influences the weldebility. If you have any practical information, it will be appreciated.

Re: [MW:7955] Supporting PQR for Impact requirements


Karthik Sir,

 Is it possible to write a WPS with base metal (QW-403) P No. 1 Gr No.1  to P No.1  Gr.No.1 OR 2 ?

so possible P1GI P1G1, P1G1 P1G2 & P1G2 P1G2 Welding.

QW-403.5 is not telling to do the test again for new group no. of the same P no. material with same E&SE variables? (interpretation)

So re writing a WPS is enough for PIG1 to P1G2 welding with the current PQR  , insted of further testing ?


Please advice........... I have the same issue.

Regards
Aneesh

Hi,

If Impact is required by Code then you have to do additional supporting PQR(CVN test only) for G2.

My interpretaion for QW403.5 as follows.


QW403.5:

If, however, two or more
qualification records have the same essential and supplementary
essential variables
, except that the base metals
are assigned to different Group Numbers within the same
P-Number, then the combination of base metals is also
qualified.


Interpreation:

As per the above highlighted sentence,If you have to PQR with CVN test of P1G1 with P1G1 and P1G2 to P1G2,then you can use this for P1G1 with P1G1, P1G2 to P1G2 , and P1G1 to P1G2 also.


In your case you have P1G1(with CVN) PQR only.So you
should do additional supporting PQR for G2.



Thanks & Regards,

Dear all

I could not find the reason to do the CVN test again for new group no. of the same P no. material. Assuming the welding process is SMAW, then as per QW 403.5, " If , however, 2 or
more qualification records have same essential and supplementary essential variables, except that the base metals are assigned to different group numbers within the same P number, then the combination of base metal is also qualified"

Pls do tell me if that is the not the case, and CVN testing is mandatory (kindly specify the relevant section from the code)

Yes, you can, provided all essential/supplementary

Dear All,






I have Qualified PQR for welding P1 Gr 1 To P1 Gr 1 with
Impact test at (-) 51°C




thickness range 2.77 to 11.08 mm.




But now we have to weld P1 Gr 1 to P1 Gr 2. Can I do one
more supporting PQR with with P1 Gr 1 to P1 Gr 2 With only impact testing.




Please clarify whether Tensile test and bend test
aremandatoryfor supporting PQR.










Thanking you.

RE: [MW:7954] NAXTRA M700 weldebility

Dick,
 
Attached are 2 documents on this material. The first document is the English version of the same data sheet attached in your email. The second one gives general guidelines on handling of this steel, fabrication, welding. Both of these documents are free documents (available in the web).
 
As pointed out by Mr. Hegde, welding of this steel would require the same level of care and precautions as need for a Q&T steel. As you can see NAXTRA has many grades, the higher grade means high UTS and lower  % elongation, thus welding gets more and more difficult. Usually for SMAW with E-9018M or 10018M are welder friendly electrodes (due to slightly lower UTS and better %EL), E-11018M would require careful handling during welding due to higher as welded tensile stresses involved.
 
I have not handled NAXTRA but handle 517 Gr B and F quite frequently. Well the basic steps for good and quality welding are pretty much the same for Q&T steels. However if the NAXTRA grade involved in your design, does not contain, V, Bo or other dangerous alloying elements, then the weldabilty would be better.
 
Thyssen has a booklet, HS-129, on welding of NAXTRA. Earlier this document was downloadable  from their internet technical library. Nowadays  I don't think it's downloadable any more. You may get good recommendations for Thyssen as it's one of  their product.
 
Thanks.

We are going to use above material fro shipbuilding purpose. Thickness 30- 40 mm. We do not have experience with this specified material, I would like to know from your experience information on ;
Ceq and impactvalue in L and T direction.
 
In regard to the attached manufacturers information , the deviation in chemical composition may be rather high.
 
This may require preheating, which influences the weldebility. If you have any practical information, it will be appreciated.

How we can identify the number of wires(Range of wire like ISO penetrameter numbers 1-7,6-12,10-16) in DIN penetrameter?I have a RT film with DIN 62 FE penetrameter.What is the wire range of this penetrameter(To get the diameter of essential wire to calculate the sensitivity)?I have reference of all other penetrameters like EN,ISO and ASTM.Unfortunately,I am clueless about DIN.

EN wire type penetrameter(eg. 1 FE EN,6 FE EN etc.) and DIN wire type penetrameter are same or not?
