Re: Re: [MW:9542] Duplex stain less steel certificates misses nitrogen content

Hi

Nitrogen and oxygen upto 1 ppm can be determined more accurately by Leco TC-400 instrument using the inert gas fusion principle.

I had used this Leco - N2/O2 analyser in L&T, Powai.

Please refer attached file.

Dear all

I reviewed a Material certificate for Duplex SS, Plate A240 UNS S31803 and found Nitrogen content .08 – 0.2% as required by ASME sec II part A is not at all mentioned in the certificate. As vessels are fabricated and welded I issued a NCR to manufacturer.

Vessel manufacturer are going to ask Mill about this.

1) My question is how come a Mill certificate misses an essential element of composition required by the code? If the Mill comes with a reply that it is a clerical error to miss the Nitrogen content, and re-issue a certificate, can we accept it as genuine?
It may happen, sometimes the Mill misses to include such information. I believe, if the Mill re-issues the certificate afte correction, then you can accept it.

2) Is nitrogen content can be analysed by PMI or any other analyzing method in a lab test. Because the vessel fabricator say they are going to do lab test, for this.
The vessel manufacturer may have left over materials of same heat, which can be chemically tested at lab's for more perfect analysis or even by PMI as suggested by Mr. Karthik.

Please share your experiences and opinion about this.

Thanks

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...
