[MW:1940] Re: Variation in Pipe thickness

By Materials & Welding
I think Vivek is asking for tolerance in welding
 
you can refer to Asme B31.3 Chapter 5 for Fabrication and refer the welding for Circ welding details and toteances for allignment of welding
 
and WPS never tells about the misalignment tolerance they only specify limitations of welding thickness and.....

Hi Vivek raj,
THere is no limitatin specifically given by any code.However to answer your query,kindly take a note.When two pipes with same outer diameter but different thickness is ti be Butt welded,inorder to match the inner diameter,the thicker pipe is to be tappered from inside .The length/slope of tapper specified may be different by various codes e.g. ASME Section I says(Page 120 nearabout) the Taper shall be 1:3 of the difference in thickness of pipe(Thk. difference is 4mm.  than taper shall be 12 mm in length,slope will be adjsted by itself).
Hope the query is understood,
Regards,
Ashish A. Bhate

I have a query , when there is welding between two CS pipes of
different schedules ( different thickness) needs to be butt welded for
process piping application.

what is maximum variation in the thickness of two pipes , that will
ensure a safe weld.

Is there any code that provides any limitation or guidance .

Regards,

Vivek

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, ...
