[MW:644] Re: Hardness by Equotip

By Materials & Welding
Dear Reddy,
 

Equotip is digital based, unlike Poldy which is mechanical based.

(1) This needs the surface to be smooth, so that rebound shall be proper for its analysis.

(2) The rebound ball is few grams so thickness of the part shall not be an essential criterion. There is facility for angle setting in this instrument, 0deg  i.e., is hitting the targets vertically down, and other angle hitting facility exists

 (3) Equotip is supplied with thick round calibration block, valves on it are mentioned to match with for calibration purpose.

 (4) These are commonly used in maintenance sections of the plants. It only gives the valves of the hardness, so hope no implications of restriction of any codes prevails.  

 

Hope I have answered your questions.

 

Regards,

Dear Friends,
 
Can any one through light on the following queries of digital hardness tester (Eqotip/TIME Group TH 160, HLN-11A/Krautkramer etc.)
 
1. Can weld joint hardness check up with rebound test principle
2. what is the minimum thickness of test specimen required for hardness check with above equipment (working on Rebound principle)
3. What are the calibration requirement of above instruments
4. Are they supported by any project construction codes/ standards

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, ...
