[MW:12564] RE: 12563] PWHT of modified P460 NL1 (1.8915) EN 10028-3

By Materials & Welding

Dear Sir,

 

I don't know what ASME says about PWHT but in the EN 10028-3 there is a warning about PWHT for this material regarding holding time and/or temperature (see paragraph 8.2.4 of EN 10028-3). When the outcome of following formula comes above 17,3 there is a risk that the material properties will be reduced and no longer met the requirements of the specification.

 

P = Ts (20 + lg t) x 10-3

 

Where Ts = PWHT temperature in °K and t is holding time in hours

 

If your outcome is above this 17,3 than you need to prove that all mechanical properties still meet the requirements by simulating PWHT on a sample from the same heat and thickness as used for your pressure vessel.

When executing more than one PWHT than you should calculate the value for each separate treatment and look at the sum of all treatments together.

Keeping this formula in mind you also can calculate any possible heat treatment conditions (temperature for thickness of 14,3 max. 630 °C)

 

Met vriendelijke groeten / Best Regards

As this material is not in the tables can anyone provide the PWHT process for material 14.60mm thick in a pressure vessel built to ASME section VIII division 2?

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...

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, ...
