Re: [MW:15147] Problem about Positive material Identification (PMI)

Dear Mr. Jubair,
                         Normally there is dilution of electrode chemistry in the weld. As a demonstration to your client, weld a pad of 200x200mm on T91 pipe with the same electrode and check chemistry at different heights from fusion line (FL+3, FL+8, etc). So you can accept this weld upto a defined dilution (say 10%).

Check with another PMI equipment preferably using XRF equipment.

In our  boiler one major problem occurred in Positive

Around 800 joints welded in the above approved procedure
only. Filler wire,
header stub, RHFO coil, weld metal undergone PMI test
separately and all
show positive material results as T91 except weld metal.
Weld metal shows
the Chromium content only  as (4-7%){Reqd is 8-10.5%}.
We can't find how
it happened? Our Chinese consultant told to cut and
reweld all the joints.
But our contractor argued that we followed approved
procedure and used
approved vendor's consumable only. Please give a
solution. Here I have
attached one preheating cum PWHT chart of RHFO
joints(for 11 joints,5
thermocouples,1 recorder).All 800 joints are not checked
yet. Only 40
joints checked and all 40 weld metals shown low Cr
Content.**



Please go through the below readings of one RHFO
joint.****
