Re: [MW:11802] PWHT and NDT requirement for SPENT CAUSTIC LINES

Dear MPK,

Spent caustic is the waste industrial caustic solution, that has become exhausted and no longer useful (spent). It is made of Sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide, water and contamination. The common and dangerous contamination is H2S in it.

Various process licensors have technology for effective and environmental disposal of spent caustic and guidelines for material selection as well as for PWHT also.

Refer the pipe class generated for spent caustic line, for PWHT & NDT requirements.

PWHT is dependent on concentration of Caustic and design temp. In normal case, % caustic is < 5.0 % and temp. varies from RT to 130 -140 Deg C.

Since, H2S would contamination; this would fall in category M services as per ASME B 31.3.

Sent by: materials-welding@googlegroups.com

Dear Experts,

We have 2" sch 160 & 4" sch 80 C/S Piping welding ,whether we need to conduct PWHT for these lines or no need , because as per standard CAUSTIC service lines need PWHT. but in our package the service fluid is SPENT CAUSTIC and I want to know what is the required percentage of NDT for these service lines,

Please send suggestion & if any specific documents..

Thank you,
MPK

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...
