Re: [MW:7336] hot tap and temper bead

Arvinda,

No relationship.....temper bead is a welding process.........hot-tapping
is a mechanical process, which involves drilling into a vessel or pipeline!

temper bead is the welding process usually ( but not always ) employed
when welding the hot tap fittings (usually weldolets, split tee's
etc....) onto the vessel or pipeline as part of the hot tap process.

As regards qualifying welders, you should be very careful here, because
depending on service, this can be a hugely critical operation, and doing
it wrong can have catastrophic results. Its a while since I have done
any but as far as I can remember the best specs are British Gas (
Transco ) PS-P2 & PS-P9

regards

Declan
