[MW:12589] Charpy Impact testing requirement for ASME B31.3 and API SPEC 6A welding application

Hello everyone,

I have a few questions that I need help with please:

1. When developing weld procedures to weld pipe materials like P1
(A106 grade A, B, C, and API 5L X-41, X-46, and X-56) to the same or
any P1 to P1 combination for ASME B31.3 application in an oil and gas
production site for flow lines, I do not need Charpy impact testing
for temperatures of -20F and above right?

2. What if I'm developing welding procedures to join API wellhead
flanges (materials: 4130 welded to the same), is there any minimum
temperature for Charpy impact requirement, in other words, if the
temperature anticipated is going to be -20F and above, is Charpy
impact testing required for this material. If Charpy is required and
it is not at -20F, at what temperature is it required, or do I have to
test for impact/toughness no matter what the temperature is for the
4130 material?

3. What if I'm developing a welding procedure to transition from API
wellhead to ANSI line pipe (material: 4130 to A106 B or any other P1
material), since the design of this joint is based on the weaker
material (A106 grade B or other applicable P1), do I need Charpy
impact testing for -20F and above?

[MW:36169] Cold Bending Qualification

Dear Experts,  Can anyone share the inspection requirements or a qualification procedure for cold bending? Our client spec states only the requirements for induction bending and would like to know your opinion on the cold bend inspection requirements. The code of construction is B31.3, Max. 5D bends, A106 SS 316L.  Thanks in Advance. -- https://materials-welding.blogspot.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/groups/122787 --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Materials & Welding" group.

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...
