[MW:561] Re: Tolerance for Dog leg

By Materials & Welding
The dog leg is terminology normally used by European/ American pipeline inspectors for "mitre bend" in pipeline construction (cross country). These mitre bends/ deflection ( dog leg) are due to misalignment between two pipes (butt joint/ girth welds).
These type of un intentional mitre bends upto 3°  are acceptable as per ASME B 31.4 Article 406.2.2 & ASME B 31.8 Article 841.2.3.2.
 
Dogleg terminology not generally used for the straightness of a single pipe (not used for manufacturing of line pipe).

It is the out of straightness of line pipe. The out of straightness may be due to weld distortion at joint locations or due to improper fitup.

Can you please explain the term Dog leg, i have no idea what it is?
Is it a term related to steel structure? type of stair case
arrangement?

Heat tint (temper) colours on stainless steel surfaces heated in air // Heat tint

By Materials & Welding
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...
