Re: Re: FW: [MW:4164] Underclad cracking tests

Dear Sir

I would like to add that the weld specimen for Reheat cracking has to undergo simulated PWHT before the clad is removed ..

Regards

For this it has been specified that Weld specimen for Reheat cracking should be prepared.

The procedure is : do cladding by SASC with high heat input,remove the clad till weld fusion layer is exposed and conduct MPI + Metallography.

We have been told that Hydrogen induced cracking should be checked by welding a 50mm width overlay with E9018G on LAS with low heat input, kept at room temperature for 8-10 days... ( No reference standard is mentioned )

Hi Prem,

Could you be more specific about your query:-

· Underclad Cracking Test— is it related to SAW strip cladding of S.S / Inconel on Reactor Pressure Vessels (RPV) shells. What kind of reheat cracking tests you have to do? Usually reheat cracking is very difficult to simulate.

· Regarding hydrogen cracking, there are standard tests developed and adopted by the industry. If you are familiar with Tekken Y-Grove test, it's a very popular test for hydrogen cracking. What's the test you're asked to perform in this case.

However underclad hydrogen cracking is a bit different issue. Typically it's commonly performed as autoclave testing, and ASTM –G-146, is the standard followed for this underclad hydrogen disbanding test.

Due to copyright issue, I can not post the ASTM standard. However the attached article tells clearly how this test is performed.

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, ...
