Re: [MW:7873] WQT- Number of Welders Issue

By Materials & Welding
Dear Raghuram,
 
My understanding as per QW 306 is, You can qualify 2 or more welders in single test coupon, but not allowed to weld each haf as stated by Limesh.

QW306: "Two or more welders or welding operators, each using the same or a different welding process, may be qualified in combination in a single test coupon". However all essential variable for performance qualification will apply individually . No change in 2010 edition in this regard.

I understand that, it has not been allowed to weld by 2 welders on single pipe as pr ASME latest revision.

 

I don't have latest edition, but you can find recent article in Welding Journal (Aug 2010) discuss about this issue.

Dear All,

Design Code – ASME B31.3

Welding Code – ASME BPV SEC IX

Can I use multiple welders in a single test coupon for WQT.ie, two welders one half with two process (6 o'clock to 12 o'clock) and other half (6 o'clock to 12 o'clock) another two welder with two process(Suppose all welders are crossing the minimum 6"(150 mm) length)?

Is there any clause insisting that one welder has to weld the entire pipe circumference irrespective of diameter?

 Regards,

 Limesh

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, ...
