Re: [MW:11104] Re: Diff. between WPS of SEC-IX and AWS D1.1

Hi,

Pls.find below the extraction of AWS and ASME Sec.IX.According to that,Sec.IX WPS may not be used for AWS. But AWS SWPS can be used for ASME as per QW-100.1.

AWS -

4.1.1.2 WPS Qualification to Other Standards.

The acceptability of qualification to other standards is

the Engineer's responsibility, to be exercised based upon

the specific structure, or service conditions, or both.

AWS B2.1.XXX-XX Series on Standard Welding Procedure

Specifications may, in this manner, be accepted for

use in this code.

ASME-Sec-IX

QW-100.1 A Welding Procedure Specification (WPS)

is a written document that provides direction to the welder

or welding operator for making production welds in accordance

with Code requirements. Any WPSs used by a manufacturer

or contractor that will have responsible operational

control of production welding shall be a WPS that has

been qualified by that manufacturer or contractor in accordance

with Article II, or it shall be an AWS Standard

Welding Procedure Specification (SWPS) listed in Appendix

E and adopted by that manufacturer or contractor in

accordance with Article V.

Both WPSs and SWPSs specify the conditions (including

ranges, if any) under which welding must be performed.

These conditions include the base metals that are permitted,

the filler metals that must be used (if any), preheat and

postweld heat treatment requirements, etc.

Such conditions are referred to in this Section as welding "variables."

Thanks & Regards,

ASME- Scen. IX-- exclusively for pressure vesel
AWS D1.! - Meant for Structural welding code
No, We can not use WPS qualified with SEC-IX for steel structure and
vise

Thanks

Re: [MW:34105] SA266 GR4N 4 Cycle SPWHT

Hi, You are correct, Minimum refers to the one cycle for which this part will expose until final work shop PWHT. hence mill test certificate shall include this. Max. SPWHT, refers to additional cycles of heat treatment that are reserved for future repairs during equipment lifetime. Again, these simulated no. Of cycles shall be specified in MTC. The idea is we need to make sure that steel mechanical properties are not compromised upon exposure to multiple repairs (i e 4 cycles in your case). One could say, if steel is subjected to 4 cycles and is ok, then it should by defacto be good for one cycle, yet, this is wrong assumption cause mechanical problems and microstructure of materials varies accordingly based on no. Of cycles for which material will expose. This is apparent in alloy steel and especially for impact test values as an example. In your case, this forged CS with properties before PWHT can be understood to be " as forged" condition (i.e. Wit...

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...
