[MW:3503] Re: 3482] Re: WPS/PQR, Range Qualified

By Materials & Welding
Hi,
Re: QW 451.1 etc,
This thickness / dia range is for the test coupon used at the time of PQR. The welder who ran the PQR automatically gets qualified to this range. But same welding technique / parameters can be used for qualifying welder on any size test coupons w/o any more integrity (mech tests or other) tests - as required for field welds. Just a workmanship test such as bend or NDT is sufficient. In that sense, when a WPS passes in PQR required tests, it is good for all sizes.
Hope this is good enough?

Dear Mr. Gopalasamy,
 
There is restriction for thickness range qualified. Pls refer QW-451.1 in ASME Sec. IX.

Hi,
 
There is no restriction on thickness or diameter for the PQR. It is requireq for the performance (WPQT) only.

Hi

What i interpret from the query is that the thickness of test coupon welded for PQR i.e while qualifying the WPS was 15mm.

Hence as per ASME SecIX, QW-451:which states the Procedure qualification thickness limits, the range of thickness "T" of base metal qualified will be 5mm to 30mm (2T).

Actually the question is not very clear and imp. details like impact requirements are missing ..

All are requested to pose clear,detailed to the point queries so that they can get correct answers / solutions.

>thickness limits are defined in QW 403.6 and 403.8, diameter is not a restriction for procedure but thickness limits are.to weld  20mm thickness your PQR test coupon thickness shall be at least 10mm

Hi Group Members,Please see the following and advise.Shashank Vagal

Query:

dear every one,

i have this problem i need to know the thickness range or pipes diameter
range for the wps in which standard i think its in asme sec 9 but where ???

for exmple if i have wps for thickness 15 is it cover the 20 mm

waiting answer please

regards

My Reply:

 

A WPS is a guideline to ensure joint integrity as proven by
PQR + applicable mech tests + NDT. It is intended for all job sizes once the
welding technique used proves itself in these tests. The sizes etc come in to
picture by qualifying welder on test coupons of a given size as per your job
requirements. ASME IX stipulates weld metal deposit and not job size. Please
ref to QW 450 - 461.

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, ...
