[MW:11946] CAN RE-HYDRO IS POSSIBLE/FOR JOINTERS INSIDE THE PLANT---HYDRO PRESSURE BAR WILL CHANGE?????

By Materials & Welding

DEAR ALL

              CAN WE DO RE-HYDRO FOR SHORTH LENGTH JOITED PIPED BEFORE RELEASE TO THE COATING PLANT?

 

MANUFACTURER IS SAYING THEY HAVE APPROVAL FROM CLIENTS.BUT WHEN I CHECKED THAT APPROVAL THAT IS ONLY FOR WELDING.NOTHING WRITTEN IN THAT APPROVAL ABOUT UT/X RAY/HYDRO ETC.TILL NOW THEY DIDN'T SUBMITTED ME APPROVED ITP.

 

BUT MANUFACTURER IS DOING 100% X RAY OF THAT JOINTED PORTION OF SHORTH LENGTH PIPES.BUT THEY ARE NOT READY TO DO RE HYDRO

MY CLIENT IS SAYING FOR RE-HYDRO BEFORE RELEASE.

 

IT ALSO MENTIONED IN API 5 L 44TH ADITION CLAUSES 9.4.2. PAGE NO. 29 STATES THAT THE JOINTERS NEED NOT BE HYDROSTATICALLY TESTED, PROVIDED THAT THE PROTIONS OF PIPES USED IS MAKING THE JOINTERS WERE SUCCESSFULLY HYDROSTATICALLY TESTED PRIOR TO THE JOINING OPERATION.

 

WHILE DURING MANUFACTURING THESE PIPES 72"DIAMETER X 15.88MM WALL THICNESSX GARADE X65.WELDING BY SAW PROCESS.

 

THAT TIME WE REJECTED SO MANY PIPES DUE TO DEFECTS SO MANY PIPES BECOME SHORTH LENGTH AFTER REMOVAL THE DEFECTED PORTIONS.

 

NOW MANUFACTURER HAS APPROVAL FOR JOINT TWO SHORT LENGTH PIPES (DEFECTS FREE PORTION) AND THEY ARE DOING WELDING BY SAW/SMAW PROCESS.

 

WHEN MANUFACTURER WAS DOING WELDING BY SAW PROCESS AS PER CLIENT SPECIFICATION/API 5L HYDRO PRESSUR BAR WAS 74 BARS.

 

I AM ASKING BECAUSE MANUFACTURE IS DOING WELDING OF SHORTH LENGTH PIPES BY SMAW/SAW PROCESS (THAT IS CIRCUMFERRENTIAL WELD) IF NOW CLIENT IS REQUESTING FOR RE-HYDRO FOR TWO SHORT LENTH JOINTED PIPES.

 

IT IS POSSIBLE FOR RE HYDRO FOR CICUMFERENTIAL WELD FOR TWO SHORT LENGTH PIPES THAT IS WELDED BY SMAW/SAW PROCES.

 

 

AFTER CIRCUMFERENTIAL WELD BY SAW/SAMW PRESSURE BAR WILL CHANGE???????/BECAUSE CLIENT IS SAYING FOR RE-HYDRO AFTER JOINTED OF SHORTH LENGTH PIPES.

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...

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

By Materials & Welding
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...
