[MW:919] Re: Welding Baffle Plate on EQ. TEE

The EQ. TEE is used at the bottom of a Flare Stack to connect the horizontal Flare Header to the Vertical Flare Stack. (Even we can use a 90 degree, Pipe - Pipe branch connection) The Baffle plate is welded inside the EQ. TEE to block / divert the drain liquid entrapped in the Flare Gas, which comes down through the walls of the Flare Stack. By the use of Baffle plate, the liquid drains are collected / diverted and it will be taken out from the Flare stack bottom after the baffle plate through a drain line connected to the Flare Header. So the Baffle plate is used to close the one side of the EQ. TEE and make it work like an Elbow. The blocked side of the EQ. TEE is welded on to a base plate and supported on a foundation. This is a small stack of height 5 meters. (A kind of ground Flare)

My doubt is, here the welding of the Baffle plate (elliptical shaped) inside the EQ. TEE will intersect with the EQ. TEE weld (TEE is welded construction.) Will this weld over weld creates any problem. The TEE welding is Butt welding with 100 % Radiography and the Baffle plate is a one side fillet welding to the EQ. TEE. The size of the EQ. TEE is 24'', 36'' & 42'' with a thickness of 9.53 mm and the Baffle plate is cut in an elliptical shape from a sheet and the thickness is 10 mm

Hope my query is more clear now

Dear Zameer,

As the weld is 100% radiographed, you can weld the baffleplate intersecting the long seam weld, provided the long seam weld is flushed with the surface.

The Baffle plate is welded in such a way that, it will block the one run side of the EQ. TEE.

We are not clear with the above point. What do you mean by this?

is this a flow of fluid or weld run?

Please explain.

Thanks and Regards,

Dear Friends,

We have to weld a Baffle plate of 10mm Thick inside an EQ. TEE (24'', 36'' & 42''). The thickness of the TEE is 9.53 mm and all the EQ. TEES are welded construction with 100% RT. The Baffle plate is welded in such a way that, it will block the one run side of the EQ. TEE. Now the welding of the Baffle plate, will it creates and problem as it intersect with EQ. TEE weld at some point. Can we have two welding at a same point? The Baffle plate is fillet welded. The working pressure is 1 bar.

Kindly advice me,

Thank you,

Regards,

Sabir

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...
