Re: [MW:15072] RE: 15059] expansion joints

By Materials & Welding
Dear Dr. Gendia
 
Many thanks for your kind response....
 
The problem is I do not have 100 meter distance to do my expansion loop. My client asks me every day to use the available expansion joint in Iraq, which is longitudinal only without lateral. That makes me think about using of an expansion loop to overcome the problem of lateral expansion...
 
Thanks again ....

Dear College

 

To have a proper answer we need to have the ISO of the inlet line with all dimensions and curbs angles , the fixed points and ends , the flow rates and pressure in order to calculate the required expansion joints required.

But if these data would be hard to get in the mean time. Practically least to have the line  diagram between last curb /or fixed joint before Tank inlet.

Any way if you are within 100 meters you could use one expansion Loop for safety.

Dear Experts...

 

I need to minimize the number of expansion joints in 8 and 12 inch oil pipe used in feeding up a storage tank with 5000 cubic meters ..... I think the using of loop expansion can solve the problem...... Would you please help me in getting some criteria...

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...

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...
