Fw: RE: [MW:13293] Surface roughness measurement instruments.

By Materials & Welding

Team,
 
 
It is better to  go with  Press-O-Film method.  We can measure the grid blasted surface in the unit of " micron "
 
Testex Press-O-Film replica tape can be used to measure the surface profile or roughness of grit blasted steel surfaces prior to painting.
 
Find the  "you tube"  to understand easily
 
 
 

 
With regards

Dear Mr. Rao,

 

In my previous e-mail I mention that SA is roughness but that was wrong. As already mentioned by some other members SA is cleanness of surface after blasting. Unit for roughness is Ra or Rz, two different values, one measures an average roughness the other the maximum roughness, value to be used should be mentioned in the contract / coating specification. Both Ra and Rz will be measured in microns.

 

Met vriendelijke groeten / Best Regards

Dear Mr.Pieper

 

Thank you for your info.

 

Could you pl. give the units for measuring the surface roughness. As per my client spec. it is mentioned as microns only.

 

I think surface appearance after blasting should be SA 2 1/2 or SA 3 and should not be measured in microns.

 

thank you

Rao

Dear Mr. Rao,

 

Be aware that the microns you mention is not the surface roughness but the coating layer thickness (DFT = Drie Film Thickness).

For surface roughness you will have values like SA 2,5 microns or similar and in practice mostly the comparators are used for inspection prior to first layer of coating.

After fist coating layer there is no need to measure the roughness anymore.

 

Met vriendelijke groeten / Best Regards

Dear Mr. Rao,

There are portable surface roughness measuring instruments to measure as required.

UK based Rank Taylor Hobson instruments are available in India.

Dear Experts,

 

I work as inspection Engineer. When i go for Blasting inspection, contractor provided  me profile comparator for surface roughness measurement.

 

Contractor do  Grit blasting in the shop.

 

I need to measure surface roughness  -  75-100 microns      Painting system No#1

                                                            50-75 microns        Painting system No#2

Queries

Q 1: Comparator is enough for surface roughness measurements.

 

Q2: Is any other tools available for roughness measurement?.

 

Q3:  What is the normal industry practice.


Pl. provide your valuable suggestions as i'm new for painting activities.

Rao.

Re: [MW:34105] SA266 GR4N 4 Cycle SPWHT

By Materials & Welding
Hi,  You are correct, Minimum refers to the one cycle for which this part will expose until final work shop PWHT. hence mill test certificate shall include this.  Max. SPWHT, refers to additional cycles of heat treatment that are reserved for future repairs during equipment lifetime.  Again, these simulated no. Of cycles shall be specified in MTC.  The idea is we need to make sure that steel mechanical properties are not compromised upon exposure to multiple repairs (i e 4 cycles in your case).  One could say, if steel is subjected to 4 cycles and is ok, then it should by defacto be good for one cycle, yet, this is wrong assumption cause mechanical problems and microstructure of materials varies accordingly based on no. Of cycles for which material will expose. This is apparent in alloy steel and especially for impact test values as an example.  In your case, this forged CS with properties before PWHT can be understood to be " as forged" condition (i.e. Wit...

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...
