[MW:13572] Re: 13563] Interpret IX-04-15

Dear Vijayan
Thanks you very much for your advice but I still confuse because in QW 407.2 state that  "A change in temperature and time range" and this WPS change only in time range but temperature still the same so this clause shouldn't be essential variable otherwise  why the code shouldn't state"A change in temperature or time range" instead of "A change in temperature and time range" please advice.

Hi

Because the wps is not written as per the QW.407.2. it means the WPS can
support only up to 108 minutes (not 3.5 Hours)

Dear Expert
.
According to interpretation below could you please explain why the answer is
"No". In my understanding WPS has change only time range but doesn't change
in the temperature(logic "and" mean change both time and temperature).

In SEC IX  QW-407.2 state that "A change in the postweld heat treatment (see
QW-407.1) temperature and time range"

Interpretation: IX-04-15
Subject: QW-403.7, Base Metal Thickness Qualification and QW-407.2, PWHT
Temperature and Time Range Date Issued: December 22, 2004
File: BC04-1595
Question (1): Will a procedure qualification test coupon on 1.5 in.
thick P-No. I, Gr. 2 material and
postweld heat-treated at I,lOO°F for 1.5 hr with supplementary essential
variable requirements met, support a WPS with supplementary essential
variable requirements for production welding on 8 in. thick P-No. 1, Gr. 2
material that is PWHT at l,lOO°F for 3.5 hr?
Reply (1): No

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, ...
