Re: [MW:16291] Sweet Service Material

By Materials & Welding
Hi,
 
As far as i experienced, Owner always restricts carbon content and not the chromium content. The number explained by you 0.2% is most common for carbon content. Higher the chromium content it is good because chromium provides corrosion resistance and strength.
 
So i request you to check again with Owner, i think in your case there is a typing error. and if possible send me the owner spec which specifies this requirement.

Hi Puray Desai,
 
Thanks a lot for your explanation. Now I'm handle project which client require us to provide material linepipe for sweet service with Cr content max 0.20%. As per API 5L Forty-Fourth Edition state that Chemical composition for Cr shall be max 0.50%. The problem is our principal difficult to comply and Client require us to provide any technical justification. Can you advice why Client require linepipe material with Cr content max 0.20%? Is there any related with corrosion resistant? Any Code / Std which he follow? Thanks
 
Regards,

Judul: Re: [MW:16279] Sweet Service Material

When I say Sweet service for gas or oil means that there are no sulfur compounds (H2S) in the gas/oil.
 
For example, when we extract gas from well, the first units would be desalination, dehydration and then sweetening. Desalination unit will remove salts. Dehydration (Glycol type) will remove water particles and Sweetening unit will remove Sulfides from Gas using mostly amine.
 
Hence material selection for sweet service shall be done based on other corrosive elements in the gas/oil like amine, salts etc.
 
I think it does not need to follow NACE requirements.
Please correct me if i am wrong.

Dear All,
 
Like you all know that for sour service there are NACE MR-0175 that will determine the requirement for approved material. Is there any similar kind of NACE standard/requirement or else for sweet service? Can you determine the max of Cr content on carbon steel material for sweet service? 

Thanks in advance for any comment..

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...
