Re: [MW:10070] Difference between impact testing by ASTME23 and ASTM A370

By Materials & Welding
Dear Mr Vikas,
Apart from type of Impact test also check for the specimen size.
 
Because A370 provides charpy-V notch test acceptance criteria for sub-size specimens and Table 4.15 of describes the tempearute drop for sub size specimens.

Dear Mr. Vikas,

A 370 and E 23 both are standard test method for notched bar impact testing of metallic material.

However, there are some basic differences.

A 370 is limited to Charpy V notch impact test specimen. (single Beam)

E 23 covers Charpy (single beam) and Izod ( Cantilever beam) test. Further, Impact testing machine as per A 370 is required to be calibrated as per E 23 ( Direct and/or Indirect methods)

Coming back to your query, just check up is it Charpy test (single beam) or Izod test(cantilever)  as per E 23 ?

Product forms certified as per ASME calls for impact testing as per SA 370. ASME Section IX requires impact testing of material as per SA 370 only.

Also refer your code of construction and applicable customer's specification in order to conclude further.

With Best Regards,

[MW:10058] Difference between impact testing by ASTME23 and ASTM A370




Dear all, 

I have a procedure in which impact testing should have been done as per  ASTM A370 but it has been done as per ASTM E23

Is there any difference between the standard on how the impact tests are conducted? Would the difference effect the final values?
tha material was UNS 31803 pipe and was tested at minus 50 degree centigrade.

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, ...
