[MW:3335] Re: Welder reapir %

Hi Adi,

If your calculating a repair rate by lenght you have to calcualte the repair rate by lenght for 2" and below also. since you are cuting and rewelding the joint due to practiccal difficulties in identifying repair location and reparing in small bore jointes i.e 2" & below sizes not because of repair length.

If the welder is requalified the repair perecentaage will start as fresh.

Thank Q to all

 

If I calculate full cut out (especially for 2") The repair % is coming too much

Exp: 10 joints 1 joints repair means 10%repair rate

However the repair portion is very small, I have to cut the joint

 

Observed welder repair rate above 5%, he should be taken off the job and sent for re-training for a week.. ok

After requalification his repair % calculation start from fresh or from the old ?

Hi,
Whatever amount of repair was caused by the welder and no. of joints repaired should be attributed fully to him. Indication type etc are immaterial, it is the bad workmanship that we are considering. And indication is repairable if it is a defect (not acceptable), right? Indicates bad workmanship. Accordingly it needs to be treated. But a record can be kept of % length repaired, just for comparison. Otherwise, it is for the % repair rate per joint that a welder's record should be maintained. Just for your info, If the repair rate shows sign of exceeding 1.5%, the welding supervisor should take cognizance. If it is >3%, the welder should be warned officially. Above 5%, he should be taken off the job and sent for re-training for a week. These are the general norms in the welding world in the industry. Or, so my notes say.

If it is cut and reweld, 100% repair to be considered for quality
costing; but, for welder performance, the actual repair/defect % only
to be considered - this is just a thought....

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, ...
