RE: [MW:7968] PWHT

By Materials & Welding

Dear sir,

       According to the ASME B31.1 and to your below detail first I confirm it that PWHT is required.

 

The details as follows,

As per ASME B31.3 Table 331.1.1 

 P1-carbon steel :

 Thickness greater than 19 mm  and tensile strength for all, the PWHT minimum metal temperature shall be 5930 - 6490 C for 2.4 hr.

 

P5A-Alloy steel:

 

Thickness greater than 13 mm  and tensile strength for all, the PWHT minimum metal temperature shall be 7040 - 7600 C for 2.4 hr.

 

 So you can do PWHT with 7040 - 7600 C for 2.4 hr and cooling rate shall be followed by the same table notes.

 

It is my understanding. If any controversy let me know. Thank You.

 

Regards,

 

J.C.Andrews,

QA/QC Engineer,

Doha-Qatar.

Is it allowed/accepted practice for PWHT of matl combination P1+P5A, if so what is the temp, Mr Goswami

Thank u

Good morning,

Please see below the data of piping line for erection:

- Diameter of pipe: 48”

- Produced: liquefied natural gas.

- Piping class: D41A

- Piping thickness: 38mm.

- Weldolet thickness : 15mm.

- Design code: ASME B31. 3. 2008 Edition.

- PWHT: By code.

According to your experience, for this case we use the PWHT?

If yes, please share your experience. Thanks in advance.

My best 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, ...
