Re: [MW:11508] Differance between PSL1 AND PSL2 PIPE/SHORT LENGTH JOINTES PIPE ISSUE/PSL2 CARBON STEEL PIPE

Dear Mr.Mohammed,

As per API 5L, only full length pipes are accepted but in some cases based on the client requirement two full length pipes can be welded together and NDE of 100% RT shall be taken.

In your case, just check client provided acceptence and refer the API 5L Page No.69 for the acceptance criteria. Refer b.

Still you are not cleared make an inspection report and submit to the client and release the pipes based on the client acceptance after they reply for your query.

Thanks and Regards,

a look of the client requirement, as you have stated that client

Hi Mohamad,

Refer Appendix J of API 5L . u will find PSL1 and PSL2 differences.

DEAR EXPERTS

WHAT IS DIFFERANCE BETWEEN PSL1 & PSL 2 CARBON STEEL PIPE.

I AM DOING INSPECTION FOR PSL2 CARBON STEEL PIPES (BY SAW PROSESS AS PER API5L).

OUR PIPE'S LENGTH ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA IS 12 METER TO 18 METER.

MANUFACTURER HAS SO MANY SHORT LENGTH PIPES LIKE AS 8 METER, 7 METER & 10 METER.

HE WANTS TO JOINT TWO SHORT LENGTH PIPES BY SMAW PROCESS.

I WANT TO ASK THAT IF MANUFACTURER IS JOINING TWO SHORT LENGTH PIPES THAT PIPE WILL BE ACCEPTED AS PER API5L FOR PSL2.

MANUFACTURER IS SAYING THEY HAVE APPROVAL FROM CLIENTS ABOUT ABOVE MENTIONED ISSUE.ME SHOULD GIVE RELEASE FOR THAT PIPES OR NOT.

IT IS ALLOW OR NOT/AND WHERE IT IS MENTIONED THAT FOR PSL2 PIPES IF LENGTH ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA IS MENTIONED BY CLIENTS/API5L AFTERTHAT MANUFACTURER WILL JOIN TWO SHORT LENGTH PIPE AND HE WILL PROCESS THAT PIPES AS PER PSL2 PIPES.

REGARDS

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...

The Schaeffler and Delong diagrams for predicting ferrite levels in austenitic stainless steel welds

Introduction Ferrite is important in avoiding hot cracking in during cooling from welding of austenitic stainless steels. 'Constitution diagrams' are used to predict ferrite levels from the composition by comparing the effects of austenite and ferrite stabilising elements. The Schaeffler and Delong diagrams are the original methods of predicting the phase balances in austenitic stainless steel welds. Nickel and chromium equivalents A 'nickel equivalent' is calculated for the austenite stabilising elements and a 'chromium equivalent' ferrite stabilising elements. These are used as the axes for the diagrams, which show the compositional equivalent areas where the phases austenite, ferrite, martensite (and mixtures of these) should be present. Although intended to show the phase balance of weld fillers, these diagrams can also be used to illustrate the phase balance of the 'parent' material. There are different diagrams for dif...
