RE: [MW:3911] RE: 3873] Product Marking of Studs from supplier, SA 193 & SA 962.

yes it is true from 2008 addenda onwards.

I had referred SA 962 because Clause 4.1 in SA 193 states that,
 
" Material & fasteners supplied to this product specification shall conform to the requirement of SA 962. These requirement includes test methods, finish, thread dimensions, marking, certification.....Failure to comply with requirements of sa 962 constitutes non conformance to this specification.
 
Hencce, this spec is applicable even if it is not stated in the P.O. SA 29/484 is not applicable in my case as the the original manufacturer had supplied studs (not bars) of higher length which was cut short by the trader for the required length.

 

SA 962 is for the common requirements for steel fasateners.

 

However, the fasteners are rejected due to the reason that different  "manufactuere trade marks" on the nuts and the certificate provided was showing different symbol.

Hence the complete lot was rejected and the vendor is blacklisted.

 

Thanks,

 

Ajay

why are you referring SA 962?, is it specified in the P.O. in my opinion SA962 is applicable only when you specify in the P.O, other wise you can refer only SA193 along with SA29/484 requirements as specified.
Since there is no alteration of mechanical properties (assuming only machining and no hot work involved), the acceptance depends on the purchaser(you) and the reliability of your supplier.
Certification can be done by producer of raw material or finished fasteners supplier.
and for the purpose of identification marking, the manufacturer is considered the organization that certifies the fastener.
you may ask for some additional checks, like
 
if I am the buyer I will choose the following options for salvage
  1. dimensional check as per the requirement (for e.g  ANSI B1.1)
  2. finish of ends, flat chamfered or round as per the agreement
  3. thread engagement at the ends
  4. manufacturer marking could be available at least for some studs even after cutting the length, is it possible to correlated this marking with original manufacturers certificate?
  5. may ask  trader to get an authorization from the original manufacturer for rest of the marking
  6. trader can recertify the lot with his own marking along with the compliance certificate to the dimensional standard.
  7. additional samples could be tested for mechanical properties from the lot, sample selection by buyer's inspector.

Dear All,
 
I have an issue with respect the marking on the Stud as detailed below:
 
Issue: A trading company had provided the studs (SA 193 Gr.B7) of required sizes by cutting it from a long stud bars procured  from the studs manufacturer which caused the removal of original product marking and trade mark..
 
Statement in ASME Sec.IIA , SA 962, Clause 20.5:
 
" When product is altered in a manner which changes specified requirement (in my case it's length), it is the responsibility of the current certifying organization to ensure that the product marking is appropriately revised. This includes the removal of the name or symbol of the previous certifying organisation."
 
Present condition: The studs are supplied with only "B7" Marking and the trader had informed us that marking is done by them after cutting it to the required length. Also, trader had provided us the MTC from original manufacturer.
 
Additional Documentation asked by us: We had asked the trader to provide a certification letter stating that the studs are of xx heat no's and are from xx manufacturer (attaching original manufacturer MTC.
 
Confirmation required: With the above documentation work and product marking, studs can be accepted?
 
Thanks in advance
 
Ajay

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, ...
