Re: [MW:4992] API 5L X85 -CVN Requirements

By Materials & Welding
Hi Carlos Quintini
 
It is obvious that, the longi specimen CVN values is more than the transverse specimen CVN values.
 
Since if we need to follow ABS Modu code, which calls the CVN test at Weld metal, Fusion Line, 2 mm, 5 mm  ;
 
If i take transverse CVN samples for PQR, will be require more set of pipes to do the CVN tests.
 
From my point of View, it is immaterial, whether we taking Longi or transverse specimen, weldment should satisfy the requirement.
 
Rgds,

Mr. K. Babu:
 
API 5L ,ed. 44, does not request longitudinal CVN test, because due to rolling process for plate production for seam weld pipe or seamless pipe, the grain orientation of the microstructure has the lowest  fracture toughness values  transverse to pipe axis. Therefore, CVN spicemens must be taken transverse to the pipe axis based on the fact that this is the most unfavorable spicemen orientation to obtain the minimum requested absorbed energy values
On the other hand, X85 grade is an intermediate grade agreed for production between purchaser and manufacture
According to table 8 of API 5L, for body full size absorb energy the values for X85 grade can be interpolated according to values for grades X80 and X90 which is 30 ft-lb for pipe diameters from 20 to 36 inches and for test temp of 0°C (32°F), or lower temperature if agreed.
 
For CVN test for seam weld and H.A.Z., according to 9.8.3, the absorb energy value is also 30 ft-lb at 0°C (32°F), or lower temperature if agreed.

There is an intermediate grade called API 5L X85 , it is commonly used in offshore industries.
 
Might be added in next edition of API 5L Spec.

I heard that 44th edition of API 5L has 3 new grades X90, X100 and X120.
what is X85? CVN is mandatory for all PSL2 pipes, refer para 6.2.5.2

Gents,
 
Pls tell me, what is the CVN (Longitudinal) Requirements for the API 5L X85 (19 mm thick) ?
 
Thanks & Regards,

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, ...
