[MW:631] Re: Impact test thickness limits per B31.3 for PQR

By Materials & Welding
I want add more to this debate
 
For LTCS material PQR qualification we have to satisfy both Sec IX and B31.3 Requirements.
 
1.As per sec ix requirements QW 403.6

The minimum base metal thickness qualified

is the thickness of the test coupon

T or 5⁄8 in. (16 mm),

whichever is less. However, where

T is less than 1⁄4 in.

(6 mm), the minimum thickness qualified is T/2.

Here T is less than 6mm.i.e 6mmTest coupon thickess is also not accepted.Only 5.9 mm thickness is accepted if we want lower range qualified to be T/2.Otherwise lower range is T only.

2.For PQR upper limit as per B31.3 T+6mm

It's a good point to debate Mr Mahuri!

 

Probably your are referring to A-5(a) in the said table, where the range is given T/2 to T+6.4mm (in place of 2T against QW403.6 for the max thickness qualified)

In my opinion if mix both these you land up in qualifying more procedures.

 

I think it similar to PTC (production test coupon) in Table 323.3.1, where you can weld PTC for each thickness range and just do Impact only, other wise if you consider this for PQR qualification range you might have do even bend and tensile or any other test required for PQR as per contract.

Dear friends,

 

Can some one suggest me,

 

 

 

For Low Temperature Carbon Steel, Procedure Qualification is it

necessary to satisfy ASME B31.3, Table 323.3.1 along with all

parameters of ASME IX.

 

 

 

Regards,

 

Snehkumar L. Mahuri

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...

Re: [MW:10788] ON PLOT PIPING & OFF PLOT PIPING

By Materials & Welding
Piping systems involved for the flow lines and gathering lines from the well head isolation valve to the production facility or processing plant isolation valve are determined as OFF PLOT. ON PLOT defines piping system in the processing plant and production platform. ANSI/ASME B31.4 applies for off plot piping system. B31.4 allows the use of either API 1104 or ASME section IX (as appropriate). However, occasionally, a very small system such as piping within 500 feet of a processing plant (some client also said 400 feet) may be declared B31.3 rather than B31.4. When B31.3 is invoked, only ASME Section IX is used. before you decide which code to use for welding procedure and/or welder qualification for pipe welding, you have to know the design and construction code applicable to the system. Please read far enough into scope and diagram illustrating the application of either B31.3 and B31.4 hope this helps rgds 2011/4/21 pradip kumar sil < pradipsil@gmail.com > Dear all, ...
