Re: [MW:12802] BS EN 287-1 WPS vs. ASME IX WPS

hi dear

according to your explanation i think you do not know exactly any information aboutBS EN

I would like to inform you BS EN 287-1 is not usefull for WPS AND PQR .and oly use for welder qualification.

according to EN standard you should see EN 288-1,2,3,4 for WPS and PQR and according to ISO you must see ISO 15609 for wps and ISO 5614 for PQR

WITH BEST REGARDS

Hi,

Just started a new job as welding supervisor. Aside from lots and lots
of other crap that is wrong with the way the company is doing things
at the moment, they have such a scattered array of WPS's in both ASME
IX and BS EN 287-1 that it is almost impossible to collate and use all
the information.

Our biggest client (national electricity supplier) is shifting to an
entirely BS EN 287-1 controlled system, from a mix of ASME and BS EN,
which means that we as a subcontractor of theirs must do the same.

I'm busy working through the WPS's available to me so far and trying
to relate them to one another, to see where we need to formulate
completely new WPS's and where we can trans-code them to their
equivalents. Also just to get the list of all of them in one place.

What I'm hoping is that someone out there has done something similar
to this before and how you approached it.

If it helps at all, our BSEN WPS #'s look like this S B 3 03. 8 (20) S
(SMAW, Butt, material 3, Sequence number 03, filler 8, Preheat 20
deg., Stress relieving)

and our ASME IX ones are as follows M B x 1. 8 (20) S (SMAW, Butt,
Symbol [on drawing], material group 1, filler group 8, 20deg. preheat
and stress relieving)

Any help would be appreciated,

Cheers,

Ken

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, ...
