[MW:2750] Re: hydrostatic pressure for piping

By Materials & Welding
I would like to add: Check you hoop stress as designed, if I am not wrong if the design is below 20% of hoop stress, API does not ask for pipe pressure

As per B31.8 considering worst situation of Zone 3 & 4 the min pressure at which Hydro is to be done is 1.4XMOP(max operating pressure) and max at which the hydro can be done is either at a design pressure or at a pressure more than the design pressure.For example if DP is 92 and MOP is 45 then min hydro pressure is 1.4X45=63 but if you carry out Hydro at 150 then your max ALLOWABLE operating pressure becomes 150/1.4=107 but since it is more than DP i.e.92 MAWP shall be only 92 and not 107.

Dear all
 can any body help me for:
 
as construction code for  gas compressor station ASME  B31.8  ,whats the pressure of  hydrostatic test of piping with equipment like air gas cooler as system .
by to ASME Bb31.3 the pressure test  must be according to the vessel or equipment design but i can't ind answer of my question in B31.8 (gas transmission piping......)
 
 thnks

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...
