[MW:2200] Re: 2195] Re: Sand blasting

Dear Saqib,

Firstly do not use word "SAND" Blasting as most of the countries it is prohibited.

Next to your query, Yes before doing insulation some surface cleaning might be necessary. Depends on the customer specification and type of insulation and environment(site condition) one can make decision whether to carry out blasting or not.

Basically blasting is required for developing profile on the substrate (steel surface) and if the insulation method where you do not need profiled surface you can replace blasting with power tool cleaning (hand tool cleaning if area is not big).

It is always better to remove mill scale and any detrimental chemicals prior to carry out insulation to prevent oxidation / corrosion under the insulation.

Before insulation cleaning of pipe lines by sand blasting is required or not?

Mr. Singh: No? but why?

Is there no need for cleaning the pipe lines even manually (by power brush etc.)?

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, ...
