Re: [MW:13275] Identification of thickness on Radiography films.

Hi,
As per Sec.V - T-224, it doesn't require to specify the weld thickness on the film. But As per T-290,weld thickness need to specify on the RT Reports. In your case you can accept the film and all other details shall be specified on the RT reports as per T-290.please find below the extraction of T-224 and T-290 for your reference.
T-224 System of Identification:
A system shall be used to produce permanent identification
on the radiograph traceable to the contract, component,
weld or weld seam, or part numbers, as appropriate. In
addition, the Manufacturer's symbol or name and the date
of the radiograph shall be plainly and permanently included
on the radiograph. This identification system does not necessarily
require that the information appear as radiographic
images. In any case, this information shall not obscure the
area of interest.
T-290 DOCUMENTATION:
T-291 Radiographic Technique Documentation
Details:
The Manufacturer shall prepare and document the radiographic
technique details. As a minimum, the following
information shall be provided.
(a) identification as required by T-224
(b) the dimensional map (if used) of marker placement
in accordance with T-275.3
(c) number of radiographs (exposures)
(d) X-ray voltage or isotope type used
(e) source size (F in T-274.1)
(f) base material type and thickness, weld thickness,
weld reinforcement thickness, as applicable
(g) source-to-object distance (D in T-274.1)
(h) distance from source side of object to film (d in
T-274.1)
(i) film manufacturer and Manufacturer's type/designation
(j) number of film in each film holder/cassette
(k) single- or double-wall exposure
(l) single- or double-wall viewing

Subject: [MW:13257] Identification of thickness on Radiography films.

Dear Experts,

During Interpreting Radiography films at one of my vendor's works, I observed that, there is no identification /indicate thickness of job on film so I rejected the film. As far as generally everyone related field experience persons are know unless identification of thickness on film it is very difficult to know which penetrameter to be used but my vendor is arguing for the same. According to him one of "Level III" person insisit them there is no need to mentioned thickness in Radiography films and it sufficient if it indicate in Radiography interpretion report.
Suppose in piping number of joints/piping spools  are comming  with verious thickness in same report in such case it is possible to identify required penetrameter ? My anser is no, each Radiography films must be indicat thickness of joint/job.  Requested to suggest/advise.

Sincerely yours,
RK Vichare

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, ...
