Re: [MW:13279] Identification of thickness on Radiography films.

Dear Sir
Construction code is ASME B31.3(Power Cycle Piping)
But as per my vendor, the selection of penetrometer is the total thickness including reinformcements of the welds.So, based on the thickness the weld reinforcment varies, so vendor argues that it can create confusion(only in border cases) if wall thickness is mentioned in the film.
Generally, the film identification shall be placed on the film to make a corelation with the report & to fullfill the mandatory requirements as laid down by the code.
Kindly advise.

Which is your construction code?

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...

The Schaeffler and Delong diagrams for predicting ferrite levels in austenitic stainless steel welds

Introduction Ferrite is important in avoiding hot cracking in during cooling from welding of austenitic stainless steels. 'Constitution diagrams' are used to predict ferrite levels from the composition by comparing the effects of austenite and ferrite stabilising elements. The Schaeffler and Delong diagrams are the original methods of predicting the phase balances in austenitic stainless steel welds. Nickel and chromium equivalents A 'nickel equivalent' is calculated for the austenite stabilising elements and a 'chromium equivalent' ferrite stabilising elements. These are used as the axes for the diagrams, which show the compositional equivalent areas where the phases austenite, ferrite, martensite (and mixtures of these) should be present. Although intended to show the phase balance of weld fillers, these diagrams can also be used to illustrate the phase balance of the 'parent' material. There are different diagrams for dif...
