[MW:15808] RE: Hardness on NACE Material

Dear Pradip,

Is the service is for upstream (offshore oil and gas) or downstream (oil and gas refining) environments.

If the service is for upstream environments then MR-0175-ISO-15156-2 requirements as stated below will be applicable. Refer Annex-A of MR-0175 for this.

Welding consumables and procedures that produce a deposit containing more than 1 % mass fraction nickel are acceptable after successful weld SSC qualification by testing in accordance with Annex B. ER-70S-2 and E-7018 will not have problem with respect to this issue. However advise would be  to get the " Confirmation from the consumable manufacturer", as welding consumables meet requirements of MR-0175/ISO-15156.

Thanks.

Subject: Hardness on NACE Material

Dear Experts,
We are going to fabricate carbon steel to carbon steel pipe ( A-106 To A 106 Gr. B/ A-105/ A234 GR. B ) with NACE Specification as per MR-175 without POST WELD HEAT TREATMENT.
In this case how much is maximum limit of hardness in BASE METAL/HAZ & WELD MENT & where it is specified.
Can we use normal ER-70S2 filler wire & E-7018 Electrode ( Without HICC & SSIC Certificate ) Regards Pradip
