Re: [MW:12554] defect on circ-seam of H2 service vessel

By Materials & Welding
The defect is visually confirmed; nothing is assumed. I want to conclude that for repair of this dimension does the code call for rehydro?

did you compare this image with the RT taken at fab shop? Did you conclude anything why it was happened?

Did you check visually and measured these dimensions or assumption from the RT image?  Images like this are possible May be due to the thickness difference of shell and dished end. If it is visually confirmed, yes repair by welding is required followed by local PWHT/NDT/hardness check and re hydro

Dear Mr. Pradeep Goswami & other experts...

 

We have a newly fabricated Vessel having following details

 

 

Vessel:  1200 mm ID X 4550 mm TL-TL

MOC: SA 516 Gr 60

Code of constr: ASME section VIII div 1 2007 edn.

Thickness: shell-20mm; DE-24 mm

Design pr- 32.3 kg/sq.cm; Design temp - 80 deg.C

Service: LPG+Naphtha ; Vessel is designed for  Hydrogen service, 100%RT, Fully PWHT; hydrotested ,cleared by TPI, erected at site, yet to be commissioned

 

 

Imperfection (a notch or gouge out)of about 3-4 mm deep and 15 mm long observed on weld seam CS-1 (Top Dished end to shell circ. seam joint ) from inside of vessel. Please see the attached image of segment radiographed by us.

 

My queries...

 

What rectification shall I do on the defective segment on the service point of view?

What are the NDE's required?

Is a local PWHT mandatory at the repaired segment?

Any special precautions for H2 service...

 

appreciate your quick feedbacks..

 

Regards

Hrishi

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, ...
