Re: [MW:7936] golden weld joint require ments

By Materials & Welding

Mr Gulam

 

I could remember the following things for Golden weld.

 

a) It means , other than of fabrication shop welding, the balance welding which will  be done with only one joint at site welding( or) in a tie -in work process. This type of joints are confirmed by 100% RT or UT (NDT), since there may be  a practice problem in the hydro test depends with the pipe  length.

 

b)There is no specific code for Golden joint but most of the companies are follow  to perform a "golden weld", with 100% NDT by eliminating hydro test.

 

c) We can refer  ASME 31.4, and  it  permits a "waiver" of a hydro test on "tie-in" welds between two sections of piping , that the weld has already undergone 100% NDT (see Section 437.1.4 (b) Testing Tie ins, ASME B31.4 2002 Edition).

Dear all,

can any one explain the golden joint welding , NDT and inspection requirement with Code references.

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...
