[MW:11967] RE: 11956] SMAW - Welding Electrode Holder

By Materials & Welding

With this design the electrode or the holder will come in contact with the work and cause scarring of the surface, have your quality assurance find these areas and have the contractor rework the area. This will cost the contractor extra and they will see it is cheaper to replace the holder than to rework the scarred areas.

The holder being used is not a CE approved holder and provides the welder no safety while performing his job, have your safety people condemn the holder and offer to replace the holders for the contractor.

These are the only solutions I see.

Subject: [MW:11956] SMAW - Welding Electrode Holder

 

Dear Member,

 

I have come across to know that our contractor is using Welding Electrode Holder as per the attached photo. Contractor is big enough to force without standard, so, I am searching for any International Standard which helps to force them to replace this kind of Welding Electrode Holder with the Standard one, which all of you know.

 

I have come to know one standard - IEC - 60974 - 11, but that is only for Safety point of view, which is not enough.

 

Request for the help.

 

Thanks & Regards,

 

Ashish Soni.

Essar.

Re: [MW:10788] ON PLOT PIPING & OFF PLOT PIPING

By Materials & Welding
Piping systems involved for the flow lines and gathering lines from the well head isolation valve to the production facility or processing plant isolation valve are determined as OFF PLOT. ON PLOT defines piping system in the processing plant and production platform. ANSI/ASME B31.4 applies for off plot piping system. B31.4 allows the use of either API 1104 or ASME section IX (as appropriate). However, occasionally, a very small system such as piping within 500 feet of a processing plant (some client also said 400 feet) may be declared B31.3 rather than B31.4. When B31.3 is invoked, only ASME Section IX is used. before you decide which code to use for welding procedure and/or welder qualification for pipe welding, you have to know the design and construction code applicable to the system. Please read far enough into scope and diagram illustrating the application of either B31.3 and B31.4 hope this helps rgds 2011/4/21 pradip kumar sil < pradipsil@gmail.com > Dear all, ...

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...
