Re: [MW:11455] MPI forgotten

By Materials & Welding
Dear Mr. Shashank,

As far as I am concerned,

Raise a non conformity based on client specification which require MPI on cut bevel , conduct a tool box talk for NDT technicians/QC personnel/ Execution personnel.If this happened because of execution department's push,then give NC to project manager or construction manager or construction Engineer (I don't know what would be your fate in your company after this:) Convince client by showing objective evidences to accept as it is and close the NC.If they are blowing smoke up your butt then do manual UT or TOFD to prove joint is free from planar defects. Anyhow, the ultimate aim is to ensure the joint is sound enough for the intended purpose and it is proved in your radiography report.Go ahead with Hydro, nothing gonna happen..


Regards,

Limesh

Dear members,
By some oversight, MPI of one pipeline welds was not done on cut bevels. The PL section is now ready for hydrotest. Construction Code is API 1104 1999 Ed.
RT is acceptable. But this lapse is punchlisted. How do you resolve the issue?
Cutting and rewelding is not permitted.
Best regards,
Shashank Vagal

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...
