Re: [MW:6210] API 653 Tank Repair

Dear all,
thanks for your reply.

these are defects identified by inspection team.

1. Fixed Roof - Remove the weld defects from the roof to shell angle and repair

2. Fixed Roof - Remove the weld defect from the butt weld adjoining Plates

3. Bottom - Puddle weld or install a lap-welded patch plate over the 0.150 inch deep internal pit on the sump bottom plate.

4. Bottom - Remove the corroded manual gauge repad/striker plate,

Regards,
Vijay.

Dear Vijay

you are not given clear details about the location and type of repaire.

generally the following steps to be follow---

first thing is to ensure the type and depthe of defect by ndt methods as per site conditions.

if a repaire is crack

drill at the both ends of crack to prevent further propgation of crack during grinding.

remove the defect by grinding only(gas cutting is not allowed).

after grinding ensure compleat removal of crack/slag etc by applying ndt methods

weld the cavity and apply final ndt (ut or rt)

apply highly penetrating oil to ensure there is no leakage.

if necessary check the hardness value

i think this information may help you.

with regards

Since am new to API 653, kindly guide me what are the things to be
carried out for Repair.

What are key points and what measures to be taken before carrying our
the repair.

Thanks in Advance. Kindly feed your inputs.

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...

The Schaeffler and Delong diagrams for predicting ferrite levels in austenitic stainless steel welds

Introduction Ferrite is important in avoiding hot cracking in during cooling from welding of austenitic stainless steels. 'Constitution diagrams' are used to predict ferrite levels from the composition by comparing the effects of austenite and ferrite stabilising elements. The Schaeffler and Delong diagrams are the original methods of predicting the phase balances in austenitic stainless steel welds. Nickel and chromium equivalents A 'nickel equivalent' is calculated for the austenite stabilising elements and a 'chromium equivalent' ferrite stabilising elements. These are used as the axes for the diagrams, which show the compositional equivalent areas where the phases austenite, ferrite, martensite (and mixtures of these) should be present. Although intended to show the phase balance of weld fillers, these diagrams can also be used to illustrate the phase balance of the 'parent' material. There are different diagrams for dif...
