Re: [MW:8401] difference between code edition,revison,addenda& erata

By Materials & Welding
Hi,


Revision

Revisions are made periodically to ASME Codes to incorporate changes, which appear necessary or desirable, as demonstrated by the experience gained from the application of the Code. Approved revisions will be published periodically in a new edition or in an addendum.


After Code revisions are approved by ASME, may be used beginning with the date of issuance shown on

the Addenda.

 

Addendum(Addenda)

An addendum provides replacement pages for the current edition of the code or standard.

 

Addenda often contain a collection of miscellaneous revisions, many of which are editorial, making it more difficult for all users to keep up with the revisions that are important to them.

 

Errata

Most editions contain a number of editorial changes and perhaps some errata.

Errata include the following:

  •       Typographical errors or misspelling
  •       Grammatical errors
  •        Incorrect publication of approved items, omission by staff of approved items, printer errors, or incorrect publication of an item that was not approved.
  •         Neglecting to update table for consistency with revision to corresponding text.
       

Editorial actions are those that make changes to the standard that are not substantive.

Editorial changes do not change the requirement of the standards in any way.


Code Case

Cases are used to provide alternatives to the existing requirements of the code, such as to grant permission to use new materials or alternative constructions.

 

Cases are often used when the need for a revision is urgent because it is usually faster to generate a case than to revise the code or standard and wait for it to be published in the next new edition or addenda.

 

Cases can be requested directly by an inquirer or initiated by a committee.

guys.
pls clarify the difference between code edition,revisio,addenda erata & addendum .

iam confused with all this .
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, ...
