Re: [MW:4846] Query for incomplete welding

Dear azmi, 

To answer your question, no 1 is more accurate.

The name full penetration calls for the penetration on the root side. Normally if the welding design thickness weld calls for 10mm, it is not wrong for the welder to fill up the groove up to the 12 mm of the plate thickness. This gives a good blend between the weld face and the groove edge of the face (toe area). If welding is not a possible solution, then the remaining groove edge has to be grind  blend such as to eliminate sharp notches which weakens the weld.

Dear All,
 
Please clarify below points.
 
 
The designed thickness for a plate to plate welding is 10 mm and actual thickness used in the production is 12 mm. welding requires Single side full penetration weld.
 
1) considering the above case is it acceptable  if  welding groove is filled  upto 10 mm thickness only considering complete penetration on root side.
 
2) Is it acceptable if complete 12 mm thk groove is filled and we have incomplete penetrartion of 2 mm on root side.
 
Please give Code reference(if any).
 
 
Thanks & Regards

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, ...
