Mr,
  this is very silly question and level -1 candidate is sufficient to give this reply.in which block u calibrate ,in that block  you should set decibal(gain)------. if you have to check welding ( as  per asme sec-5 ,article-4)
asme block reqd. may be V1 orV2 BLOCK. Secondly for welding side drill hole is not reqd. TDH is reqd. (1.6 mm  or 3.2mm) that is depend upon procedure. if u want to check parent metal FBH is reqd( as  per asme sec-5 ,article-5) that time only v2 block is needy. angle probe 70 degree is the best detector probe for cracking.may be trans verese crack,long. crackor star crak).
 
dada , in ut  angle probe used only transverse scanning that time operator shoulnot be do zig zack scanning.if u not scan properly with angulating way u cant detect any type of volumetric defect also. that is depend upon skill operator and skill welding inspector. Any type of crack indication is very sensitive and easily detect than other defect and its echo height ,shape is looking like blasted brinjal. 
 
 
keep it up
 
 thanks and regards,

Hello Mr. UT-LEVEL3
I have to inspect 132mm thickness SAW welding, CrMoV material
according API 934 for reheating cracks using TOFD.
If I didnt get wrong, I have to calibrate the system in the ASME Block
with the SDH and then adjust the gain on API block with the notches,
right??
Another doubt is about the crack characterization... its commom to
detect some porosity, even on transversal scanning, how we will judge
some signal to be reheating crack?
Thanks for the help.

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

By Materials & Welding
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

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...
