FW: [MW:3838] SA387 Gr.11 Cl.2 material welding.

Dear Mr Rao,

SA 387 Gr.11 Cl.2 is P,No 4, Gr-1 material and is supplied in Normalized and Tempered condition. Typical UTS range for this steel is (75 to 100 KSi or 515 to 690 Mpa). P-4 material is weldable by 2.25 Cr-1Mo consumable, however one has to take care of the following:-

· The recommended PWHT temperature of two different codes (Sec-VIII,DIV-1 & B-31.1) is shown below for P4 and P5 material. For your scenario, P4 requirement applies to base metal whereas P5 criteria applies to weldmetal.

· Pr Vessel Code- Sec-VIII, DIV-1 specifies the minimum PWHT temperature, fabricator can select higher PWHT temperature provided base metal simulation test coupon or PQR indicates that minimum UTS is met.

· Piping Code-B-31.1 code gives a range, fabricators are advised to stay within this range.

· As you can see from illustrations of B-31.1 the recommended PWHT temperatures for P4 and P5 base metals are overlapping

The recommended PWHT temperature shall be 1260± 10⁰F, which would equally soften weld and HAZ. There may be queries on over softening of P4 base metal. As mentioned above if you have base metal simulation test coupon results @ higher PWHT temperature(as above ot close to that) then you're safe.

If there are hardness restrictions on weld and HAZ then it should be taken care off during procurement of base metals and welding consumables.You need to ensure that required hardness values are met after PWHT.

PWHT Temperatures:-

ASME –Sec-VIII,DIV-1

· P-No. 4-- 1,200⁰F (650⁰C)

· P-Nos. 5A,--1,250 ⁰F (675⁰C) ,

ASME B-31.1

· P-No.4-- 1,200 ⁰F (650⁰ C) -1,300⁰F(700⁰C)

· P-No-- 5A 1,300⁰F(700⁰C) -1,400 (760⁰C)

Hope it would help you.

Thanks.

Dear all,

Can any body have experience on welding of SA387 Gr.11 Cl.2 (1 1/4Cr-1/5 Mo)material with E8018-B3L, ER80S-B3L, EB3 type welding consumables(2 1/4 Cr-1Mo).

Higher composition consumables (B3L) are recommended?

Is there any change in PWHT is required as compared to standard PWHT cycle for SA387 Gr.11 Cl.2 material as per ASME Div.1.

Pl. share experience on welding of subject material.

( Design Code : ASME div.1
MDMT : 0 Deg.C
Impact : 50/40)

regards

P.Rao

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, ...
