Re: [SUSPECTED SPAM] Re: [MW:14699] P1 Material Pipe welding Joints RT and MT before PWHT is Acceptable or not ?

By Materials & Welding
Dear Friends,

I agree with you guys still I would also like to add a piece of info.

Regarding PWHT,
  • PWHT does not always have a positive effect and can cause distortion and degradation of the micro structure.
  • PWHT can "open up" indications (due to heat cycle) that might not show by NDT before PWHT.
  • There is a chance for delayed cracking or post heat treatment cracking may happen in or adjacent to welds after PWHT.

Considering the above reasons NDT is prefered after PWHT to make sure the weld quality


"RT before PWHT" would be an optional additional examination. 


If you noticed repair after PWHT, then you need repair and  re-PWHT required;to minimise/avoid this situation, NDT before PWHT is preferred.


And As per Shell DEP 30.10.60.18 , Clause 9.1 :  NDE for acceptance shall be carried out after final PWHT.


So before coming to a conclusion please refer your project specifications and accordingly.


Thanks,
Nisanth Mohan

Hi friends
 
It is acceptable because your performend before PWHT is not ignore the code reference. This NDT to check any discontinuities ,if any finding  you can repair with out PWHT. .Most of the contrctor /company impliment NDT before PWHT because:
1. Check any discontinuities
2. To confirm and remove  the minor doscontinuities to ensure it did not contribute or accumulate become major defect
3.to reduce cost of repair better carry out before PWHT
4. To compare any discontinuities sizing before and after pwht
5. If NDT after  PWHT,you found non acceptable defect that become very costly for repair.
6.Normally NDT after PWHT check "0 tolerance defect" (crack)

Dear friend,

It can be acceptable but, only for internal judgement of workmanship/quality of weld (i.e.to observed any repair etc.) but If your job requirement is heat treatment you must go for RT after Heat treatment eventhough you attend RT or any NDT (as required)  before heat treatment & it may be acceptable before heattreatment .

Dear experts,


P1
Material Pipe welding Joints  RT and MT examination  before PWHT  is Acceptable or not ?


As per 2010  ASME B.31.3 para 341.3 Examination requirements,


(a) for P.nos 3,4 and 5 materials Examination shall be performed after completion of any heat treatment.


Thank you


YEM.

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...
