Re: [MW:4142] Is PCN L-III is qualified to certify ASNT L-II ?

Greeting All,

In addition to the well address response from Mr. Ragvendran,

Any ASNT NDT Level-III qualified and certified technician in NDT Level-I and II only as per the employer written practice.

To get the LEVEL-III qualified as per the employer written practice, written practice shall address the qualification and certification procedure for Level-III.

If the employer mention in the procedure PCN Level-III is appointed directly as his Level-III then he can qualified and certified the NDT level-I and II tech for the employer and certificate will issue as per the procedure only as NDT level I and II and not as "ASNT NDT LEVEL-I OR II ".

Most important governing document is employers written practices.

Regards,

Bhaskar Kale

Dear Mr.Vasanth,
Pl.note that there is no ASNT Level II. ASNT issues only ASNT NDT Level III and ACCP Level IIs.
An ASNT NDT Level III / ACCP L-III can issue L-I or II certificates as per SNT-TC-1A.
Any organisation who intend to have an NDT deptt. shall have their own NDT personnel Qualification Written Practice which is based on SNT-TC-1A.
In that written practice,if the employer mentions that even a PCN Level III qualified person can certify their NDT personnel as L-I or II, the same is acceptable.
Hence, in your case, pl.have your own Written practice for training, qualification and Certification of NDT personnel in which you can mention PCN L-III can issue L-II certificates.

In short, as per the reference doc.SNT-TC-1A, have your Written practice to incorporate your requirement.

Raghavendra

Friends,

Can any one Pl confirm that PCN L-III is qualified to certify ASNT L-II?
If yes, Pl provide me reference document.

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:34105] SA266 GR4N 4 Cycle SPWHT

Hi, You are correct, Minimum refers to the one cycle for which this part will expose until final work shop PWHT. hence mill test certificate shall include this. Max. SPWHT, refers to additional cycles of heat treatment that are reserved for future repairs during equipment lifetime. Again, these simulated no. Of cycles shall be specified in MTC. The idea is we need to make sure that steel mechanical properties are not compromised upon exposure to multiple repairs (i e 4 cycles in your case). One could say, if steel is subjected to 4 cycles and is ok, then it should by defacto be good for one cycle, yet, this is wrong assumption cause mechanical problems and microstructure of materials varies accordingly based on no. Of cycles for which material will expose. This is apparent in alloy steel and especially for impact test values as an example. In your case, this forged CS with properties before PWHT can be understood to be " as forged" condition (i.e. Wit...
