Re: [MW:12505] mixed feed convection coils

Dear Karandish,
 
Considering the kind of crack and the type of connection, one of the reason for the failure could be low cycle thermal fatigue & bending stress.Please remember Austenitic stainless steel will have higher thermal coefficient of expansion. I dont think it has happened "only" because of metallurgical degradation.
 
Was this failure happened after any thermal shock due to abnormal operating condition like emergency shutdown?
 
what about stress analysis report for those coils? Sufficient flexibility was there and stress induced were with in the allowable stress limit?

Dear Vanchi,
I had made a typewriting error the correct material is A312 TP 347H, welding is performed at vendor shop (not at site) I am searching in the vendor documents, and will inform you more detail about welding consumable, treatment ,...

Dear Karandish,
Is the material 304H or 347H. I presume it should be 347H. Did you carryout any stabilisation treatment upon completion of weld? what is the metal temperature and what consumable was used for weld?
regards
vanchi

Dear experts,
In attached images you will find the failure happened on the junctions of header to heater tubes of a natural gas + steam heater. The heater specification is as follows:
Inside fluid: natural gas + steam
Outside fluid : flue gas from burning of natural gas in the reformer of an Ammonia plant.
Tube and header material : SA-312 TP 3047H
Considering the above let me have your suggestion regarding the failure reasoning.
 
Regards,
Karandish

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...

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

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, ...
