[MW:15162] Regarding HIC TEST requrement FOR WET SOUR SERVICE

By Materials & Welding

Dear Sir,

 

I need your Help regarding HIC Test required or Not

 

Ques: Shell & tube heat exchanger , KJO PROJECT,Saudi ARAMCO, IN Datasheet Notes points menstion as

 

1)all materials in wet,sour service shall be resistant to SSC & HIC and shall meet the requirment of MRO175/ISO15156

2)CORROSION /EROSION is due to H2S & CO2 Content are 0.115 mole% & 0.024 respectively

 

 

 

our service is Sour service , hot oil at shell side & wet crude tube side our material is SA516gr70

 

pls refer aramco spec rgarding wet sour , CAN U ELABORATE ME REGARDING HIC TEST REQ OR NOT

 

 

Aramco Spec 32-SAMSS-007

 

Wet Sour HIC Services: Hydrogen Induced Cracking (HIC) resistant steel qualified in

accordance with 01-SAMSS-016 shall be specified for the following environments with

normal operating temperatures between 0°C (32°F) and 150°C (302°F):

Sour water service with a hydrogen sulfide (H2S) concentration above

2 mg/L (2 ppm) and a total pressure of 450 KPa absolute (65 psia) or greater.

Hydrocarbon services meeting the definition of sour environments in SAES-A-301,

where the H2S concentration of 2 mg/L (2 ppm) or more in the water phase is equivalent

to H2S partial pressure of 0.05 psia.

A hydrocarbon system exposed to an environment with a H2S concentration above

50 mg/L (50 ppm) in the water phase, regardless of H2S partial pressure.

Commentary Note:

HIC resistant steel is not required in caustic services, lean amine systems and rich amine

DGA systems.

 

regards,

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...
