[MW:2209] Re: 2198] Full Penetration Weld Test On Assemble Valve

As manufacturer already says it will increase tension and material structure, pwht is advisable. But if its a test and the customer pays, execute and report.

Customer require Full Penetration Weld on Valve. However, manufacturer response as below..

 

To carry out the FPW on the valve with ASTM A351CF8C is not advisable. This is because during the process the material will expose to the temperature around 900 deg C.

When the material (ASTM A351CF8C)  expose to the temperature above  700 deg C it will transform or out of shape especially on the  parts like valve disc or valve stem,seat, etc.
This valve also required PWHT and the PWHT is carry out prior to assembling and because of welding bonnet , disassembling , machining and polishing cannot be done.

Therefore we wish to inform you again that it is NOT ADVISABLE to do the FPW.

 

But customer still insist on the test. Please advise.
