[MW:3066] Re: API 5L GR.B & ASTM A106 GR.B

By Materials & Welding
Dear Mr. Tong,
 
Just a small correction, According to QW-420.2 ( S-numbers) , in this case both the materials are S No. 1 Gr. No1 .
If the material is SA106 GR.B then it can be considered as P No1 Gr.1 ( QW-422) , but here the material is ASTM A106 GR.B , hence it is S No.1 Gr.1 ( QW-420.2)  as API 5L GR.B material.
As both are same S No. Gr.No ( S1 Gr.1) materials , there will be no problem for the WPS / PQR from the base material point of view.

Dear Sohaib,
Based on ASME IX, API 5L Gr. B assigned as a S-1 while A 106 Gr. B assigned as a P-1. If procedure qualification testing was done using material assigned an S-Number or S-Number Group Number, the range qualified is limited to materials that are assigned
S-Numbers or S-Numbers Group Numbers (i.e., qualification using a P-Number material qualifies corresponding S-Number materials; qualification using an S-Number material qualifies corresponding S-Number materials but not corresponding P-Number materials; qualification of welders using a P-Number material qualifies them to weld on corresponding S-Number materials and vice versa). For more details you can refer to QW-420.

Dear Sohaib,
 
It will depend on the code you are using is yourexisting procedure has the same code as to the new one you intend to use.
 
Does it cover the thickness and Diameter range
 
As per AWS D 1:1 they come is same group
 
As per ASME Sex IX , they have same Group No. 1 .
 
They have the same strenght 60 Ksi - Tensile strenght .
 
You have to see if any additional Test is required i.e Impact or Corrosion test by the client Spec. as to the previous
 
If all are matching need to check the Electrode Batch or need to contuct the batch test .
 
Let me know if any more information is required or it covers your query .
 
Thanks

Gentlemen,

is there any difference between the welding procedures of API 5L GR.B
and ASTM A106 GR.B?

Regards,

Sohaib

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, ...
