[MW:1854] RE: 1711] Re: 1709] Re: 1707] Impact test requirement of Nozzle to shell & Nozzle neck to flange welding

I just want to add some additional info on new developments in the code
addenda 08
The note 3(b) under UCS-66 has been revised to include normalized, N&T,
Q&T materials. Which falls under curve C

to shell & Nozzle neck to flange welding

Dear all,

I disagree with some of the discussion below.

I feel the impact requirement cannot be decided straight away for the
material selected for the following mail (MW-1707).

For material:
Shell - Impact testing is required at MDMT (-30 deg.C) GENERALLY, IT IS
CARRIED OUT at -29 deg.C by STEEL MANUFACTURERS. (As per ASTM A 20)
Nozzle - Impact testing is already carried out at -45 deg.C and not
required separately.
Flange - Impact testing is required at MDMT (-30 deg.C). Pl. note that
the
Cl.2 mat. is required to be tested at -18 deg.C only per A350) Refer UCS
66(i)(1)
N.B. Here, I would suggest to use LF2/Cl.1 material which is already
tested
at -45 deg.C. (Under such situation, complications will be less)

For Impact test of Welds:
Here, I do not agree with your discussion in the below string for the
curve
B or C for B.M. So far as the UCS 66 is concerned, A333/A350 will not
fall
under any of the category A/B/C or D. Obviously, for Plate material,
impact
requirements will be goerned by Curve-A.

So far as the impact testing requirement of Welds are concerned, UCS
67(a),
(c) and (d) very elaborately describe the requirements. e.g. If you use,
ER70S2 even for root run, the impact testing will be required as eper
UCS
67 (a)(2). The exemption of Fig. UCS-66 will not be available for the
nozzle/flange materials as they are not at all classified.

Only Production impact tests may be avoided for Nozzle to Flange welded
joints (as they fall under category C joint).

For shell joints, any way, the impact test of welds will be required for
Procedure as well as Production welds. (Category-A as well as
Category-B)

Hope the above clarifies,

With my best regards,

Prasad

It's debatable whether it falls under curve 'B' or 'C', Unless
specifically
asked for these material are produced with normalising treatment, curve
C
applied as per Note (3) (b)

Hi Mr.Bathula,
From this question i understand that both SA333 Gr.6 (Nozzle neck) &
SA350 Gr. LF2 Cl2 (Flange) which comes under curve B as per UCS 66 which
requires imact testting at -30deg C & 10mm thk. combination.
Can u clarify on what basis this joint is exempted ?

UCS 66 (a) (1) (d) to be followed for governing thickness, in this case
governing thickness will be 10mm ( see fig L-9.3.1), hence Impact
testing
of material is exempted for this (neck to shell) and also for neck to
flange weld.

However impact testing of shell material is required for other welds
such
as circumferential or long seams, In this case PQR with CVN impact is
required when either base metal is required to be impact tested as per
UCS-67(a)(1)

Shell to nozzle neck weld - Is it required Impact tested WPS/PQR?


YES
Nozzle neck to flange weld - Is it required Impact tested WPS/PQR?


NO

Hi friends,

Please help me in following matter.

I need a clarification regarding the impact test requirement for Nozzle
weld.

Material - SA 516 Gr.70 Normalised (Shell)


SA333 Gr.6 (Nozzle neck)


SA350 Gr. LF2 Cl2 (Flange)

Shell thickness - 80 mm


Nozzle thickness - 10 mm


MDMT- minus 30 deg.c


Code : ASME Sec. VIII Div. 1

Shell to nozzle neck weld - Is it required Impact tested WPS/PQR ?
Nozzle neck to flange weld - Is it required Impact tested WPS/PQR ?

As per UCS 66 (1) d. The weded asembly more than 2 component, the
individual component thickness and MDMT to be checked. In this case the
thickness of groove is higher than nozzle neck. What thickness to be
considered?.

UCS 66 (1) d. refers the sketches in Sec. VIII to decide minimum thk. it
makes confusion.

Thanks & Regards

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...

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

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, ...
