[MW:35901] Request for Consumable Estimation Sheet for GTAW/SMAW Pipeline Welds

Hello everyone, I hope you are all doing well. I am seeking technical assistance in developing a welding consumable estimation format for pipeline fabrication. For reference, consider the following joint configuration: Pipe Size: 16-inch Wall Thickness: 12.7 mm (XS) Welding Process: GTAW (root & hot pass) followed by SMAW (fill & cap) I would appreciate a standardized consumable-calculation template —preferably in Excel or PDF —to accurately determine filler metal requirements, deposition rates, joint volume, and allowable tolerances for this type of weld. Thank you in advance for your support and technical guidance. B est Regard s MD MASUD RANA QA-QC Inspector(Welding & Piping) Mechanical Engineer. Pipeliners Limited.

Re: [MW:35903] Black Spots on DSS Welding

Dear Mr. Mahmood, Please advise your welder , before welding, take a piece of emery paper and rub the entire surface of TIG wire then start welding. Please proceed with Pickling and passivation after this.

Re: [MW:35867] 347H material weldability

Hi Zakaria, Hope it is piping material and generally we use GTAW + SMAW welding processes to weld such stabilized grade material. For SS347H material, the recommended welding consumables are AWS ER347 for Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW) and AWS E347 for Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) . Please check your customer's specifications for PWHT and other requirements. Being stabilized grade PWHT is recommended at 900 deg. cent. temperature for 4 hours.

Re: [MW:35869] 347H material weldability

What is service temperature of the equipment ? If Ferrite number is to be controlled,  then TYP 16-8-2 filler metal is required as it has very low FN .
