Hello Krishna,

 

Are you raising this query with respect to welding procedure qualification for Low Temperature application ? If so then the answer to your query is as such:-

 

·         Generally Flange materials ,e.g.  Carbon steel , SA 105, SA 350  are classified as P1 Group-2 materials (70 Ksi series), while majority of C.S pipes such as SA 106, SA 333, etc  are classified as  P1 Group-1 materials (60 Ksi series).

·         Well at the same composition, the difference in mechanical properties  between forged flanges and hot formed pipes arise due to the manufacturing and subsequent heat treatments(as explained below).

·         Group No is an essential variable , where impact requirements are applicable as per  design code.

·         A PQR qualified on P1Gr1 material(say pipe) to P1Gr2 material (say forging) , would qualify the WPS for welding P1Gr1 to same , P1Gr2 to same, and welding between P1Gr1  to P1Gr2 material using  the same welding consumables.

 

If there is no impact test requirements, PQR may be qualified on any P no and Group No combination. The applicable clause in ASME Sec-IX towards this (impact test/ Group No)  is QW-403.5.

 

 

Thanks.

Generally flange materials will be subjected to additional heat treatment and special processes like forging etc.

To make sure qualification weld makes a sound joint between pipe and specially treated flange material, it is recommended to qualify welding procedure with pipe and flange when welding of flanges is involved.

Reputed flange manufacturers will also supply special puff pieces of same dimensions of pipe undergone same heat treatment and other processes of flanges on request and these can be straightly welded to pipe piece and easy to machine for welding tests.

Regards,

Ramakrishna

Hi all,
              Could one clarify the reason behind using pipe to flange for qualification of a welding procedure.
Why pipe to pipe is not used?

thanx

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, ...
