Re: [MW:8421] production test coupon requiorement as per ASME SEC VIII DIV 1

Dear Mr.Asad Azmi,

1. For each vessel, one test plate shall be made for each welding procedure used for joints of Categories A and B. ( If u use same process for A & B category, one PTC is sufficient).

2. If u consider the group of vessel, then the following have to be satisfied to avoid multiple PTC. (below is from UG-84(i)3(b))

For several vessels or parts of vessels, welded within any 3 month period at one location, the plate thickness of which does not vary by more than 1⁄4 in. (6 mm),or 25%, whichever is greater, and of the same specification and grade of material, a test plate shall be made for each 400 ft (120 m) of joints welded by the same procedure.
(if u go by this option, a seprate log to be maintained for day to day welding activities including each welder productivity, consumables consumption.)

3. The vessel impact test plate shall be from one of the heats of steel used for the vessel or group of vessels.

Regards
P.Yoganandhan

Dear all,
 
Greetings.
 
Please inform me PTC(Production test coupon requirement) for below details--
 
Construction Code :  ASME SEC VIII DIV 1
 
Shell Material :   SA 387 GR 12 CL 2,  65 & 70 Thk.
 
MDMT :  0 Deg Celcius
 
Impact test is required as per  ASME SEC VIII DIV 1.
 
The Heat number for shell material for 3 vessels is not same.
 
 
3 vessels are required to be fabricated as per the above requirement for single  client. The vessels are going to to be erected at one location only. 
 
The thichkness of shell material for 1 vessel is 65 Thk and for other 2 vessels is 70 Thk. Diameter and Length of the vessel is different. Only MDMT and material is same.
 
Please inform me whether seprate  PTC( production test coupon)  is required for each  vessel  OR 1 PTC attached with longseam/Circ. Seam of only 1 vessel  will also represent other 2 vessels also.
 
Whether 2 PTC ( 1 for longseam &  1 for circumferential seam for 1 vessel)  is enough for all three vessels OR total of 6 PTC are required for 3 vessels.
 
Please give code reference.
 
Thanks in advance for your valuable suggestions.
 
Regards
 
Asad Azmi

Re: [MW:10788] ON PLOT PIPING & OFF PLOT PIPING

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, ...

Heat tint (temper) colours on stainless steel surfaces heated in air // Heat tint

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...
