[MW:3361] Re: Heat Input

By Materials & Welding
Gentlemen,

We've used qualified welding procedure specifications for LTCS that specifiy a root layer of 6010 (but only 1 root layer and no hot-pass) and then fill and cap layers with 7018.  This welding was performed on pressure piping under B31.3 for use in Northern Canada (min. design temp. of -46C).  The WPS was qualified, stamped by professional welding engineers and approved by the client.
It is my understanding that the root lay is limited in thickness on the WPS and therefore the total thickness and properties of the full weld are majority 7018, which is approved for LTCS.  The heat input is limited to a max. on the WPS so that the welded joint should have the adequate impact properties at low temperatures.  This will be proven during qualification but remember not to limit yourself on heat input on the WPS, use a typical heat input for your welding process and material thickness to pass the qualification.
 
Regards,
 
JZ

E6010 will support up to -29 degree celcius only and used in pipe line root application. But if the PQR passes the impact you can use it with batch restriction.

E 7018-1 is acceptable up to -46 degree but selection E 6010 is not suitable for LTCS ! As per which clause it is selected for LTCS ?

Adi,
Heat input is a guideline for subsequent welding. The yardstick is the average  value as obtained from your PQR. Your production welding should not exceed PQR HI values.
By the way, is 6010, 7018-1 Ok for LTCS?  What is the working temp?

I have done the PQR for LTCS by using 6010 & 7018-1 as per ASME SEC IX
some time i got 5KJ heat in put
What is the limitation for heat input and where it is mention?

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, ...
