RE: [MW:8363] RE: 8242] FW: 8050] Weld Joint Preparation for Thk=146mm

By Materials & Welding

Dear Mr. hedge,

If you are doing the NGW on 180mm Thk, then it will require some special nozzles to go deep inside the groove.

 

 

Best regards,

We have tried the NGW with single bevel  by keeping 3 degree included angle with 10R at root   for thk up to 180 mm w/o any problem for CS and LAS material

For narrow gap welding with single bevel with included angle of 5 degree, there will be radius at the root of the joint  of 6 or 8mm. this will ensure bead width  is greater than depth to avoid solidification cracking problem.

Dear Sir,

If we are going for Narrow groove welding with only single bevel and less degree, For SAW welding, there will be solidification cracking problem since the depth to width ratio will not be maintained as 3:1.

Please suggest.

 

Thanking you,

Best regards,

Hi Shadab,

 

If you do not have the machining capacity for Narrow Gap joints ( 2-5 deg included angle), then this joint should be fine. I would like to suggest some fine points based on my past experiences in  shop welding  for thick walled pressure vessels:-

 

  • Long Seams-Remove the backing strip altogether. Rolling the backing strip to shell contour and making  perfect fit up is quite difficult in double vee weld. Moreover when backing strip gets fused while welding, one has to do immense gouging to remove it completely. Hence a conventional double vee joint, 2/3Vee Outside(45 -50 deg included angle) and 1/3 Vee inside (55-60 deg included angle) may  be a good option. Such joints may be prepared by high power gas cutting  and grinding. Weld metal deposition may be more, however if welding has and power are equipped with Tandem or Twin Arc SAW, one can make up for the fabrication time.

 

 

  • For C Seams-- you may adopt a quasi narrow gap bevel to start with. A sample bevel is  shown in the attachment. The included angle may be chosen to be anything between 10-20 deg and the edge preparation be done with gas cut followed by machinning.Placing a backing strip would be the joint fit up easy.

 

For welding of thickwalled plates, Narrow Gap welding(2-5 de included angle) is the best choice, due to less distortion, better weld and HAZ properties,considerabe savings on weld metal, fabrication time etc.But without good machning facilities,this process ia almost difficult to implement.An alternative may be edge prep and rolling in outside shops, then perfom welding at fabricator's workplace, busometimes thatmay not e a realistic solution.

 

Thanks

Dear All,

We are having 146mmthk shell welding for P1 material with PWHT & Impact as per ASME SEC-VIII Div.2

Please give me best possible weld configuration. We don’t have facility to make J grooves.

Is there any portable machines available in the market to make J grooves on such high thick plates.

I have prepared one sample Bevel edges as attached below.

 

 

 

Error! Filename not specified.

Waiting for reply.

 

Thanks!!!!!!!!

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, ...
