Re: Re: [MW:7963] No of Welders

By Materials & Welding

Dear Friends,

Here question is no of welders could be qualified using a single coupon ,For qualficiation of welder min 12 " weld length is required to validate a welder performance by radiography or four bend test at required positions as per code  and  accordingly we can qualify no of welders per coupon .For 16" pipe line coupon two welders may be qualified in order to maintain welding sequence of pipeline welding .

Best Regards,
Francis Lobo

Dear Dr.Paulose John,

       As per your statement in SEC IX QW 301.2 and API 1104 para 6.2.1 it has been not mentioned regarding the minimum number of welder to be qualified by one WPS 

 


QW-301.2 Qualification Tests. Each manufacturer or


Contractor shall qualify each welder or welding operator


For each welding process to be used in production welding.


The performance qualification test shall be welded in accordance


With qualified Welding Procedure Specifications


(WPS),


6.2.1 General (API 1104)


For single qualification, a welder shall make a test weld


Using a qualified procedure to join pipe nipples or segments


Of pipe nipples. The welder shall make a butt weld in either


The rolled or the fixed position. When the welder is qualifying


In the fixed position, the axis of the pipe shall be in the horizontal


Plane, in the vertical plane, or inclined from the horizontal


Plane at an angle of not more than 45°.


A welder making a single-qualification test for branch connections,


Fillet welds, or other similar configurations shall follow


The specific procedure specification.



Sir please clarify.

Dear Mr. Arun,

Minimum number of welders to be qualified by one WPS is - One welder. The welder who performs the PQR coupen welding is automatically becomes qualified. Please refer 2nd para of QW 301.2 of Section IX:2010 and para 621 of API 1104:2007.

To my knowledge there is no limit for number of welder qualification  upon one WPS, You can qualify as many as per to the requirement for your project.

Sir,

 

Minimum number of welders to be qualified upon one WPS is mentioned in SEC 1X or API 1104.

We are using PIPE,16"X0.375"WT STD SCH API 5L X52

 

Thanks in advance

 

with regards,

Re: [MW:34105] SA266 GR4N 4 Cycle SPWHT

By Materials & Welding
Hi,  You are correct, Minimum refers to the one cycle for which this part will expose until final work shop PWHT. hence mill test certificate shall include this.  Max. SPWHT, refers to additional cycles of heat treatment that are reserved for future repairs during equipment lifetime.  Again, these simulated no. Of cycles shall be specified in MTC.  The idea is we need to make sure that steel mechanical properties are not compromised upon exposure to multiple repairs (i e 4 cycles in your case).  One could say, if steel is subjected to 4 cycles and is ok, then it should by defacto be good for one cycle, yet, this is wrong assumption cause mechanical problems and microstructure of materials varies accordingly based on no. Of cycles for which material will expose. This is apparent in alloy steel and especially for impact test values as an example.  In your case, this forged CS with properties before PWHT can be understood to be " as forged" condition (i.e. Wit...

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...
