Re: [MW:16608] Welders transferred with WPS's

Dear Mr. Mohd,

In such cases the quality control company to start with till end contractually to be defined as company A.

ASME Sec. IX present guideline is very clear & good for big sites where a welder qualified by one sub contractor remains valid for 'n' number of defined contactor on WPS. & supported by single PQR.

Accordingly, the company A should always control Q.C. activities as well as QA with final client.

I still feel in your case you will easily be able to convince your client unless customer specific document does not allow such assignments & needs work specific deviation to be presented as special permission.

The quality standards today has matured enough as same welder working under B or C or Z with same WPS,
PQR, WPQT & when welding is considered as science with manuplative skill also & just can not be left stand alone. Ofcourse,the control of supervision & QC is equally important. The same can not be negelected & hence welding code philosophy is different among various code depending on the final product being manufacured. Ultimae decision of final customer is always binding as code can only define minimum requirements & not 100 % maximum.

I hope the matter is largely clear now & resolve accordingly at earliest in your own company interest to proceed in the matter.

Thanks & Regards,

The end user i.e. 'owner company' has to decide.

dear expert,

Code. Api 1104,

Company A have two sub contr B&C. But due to payment dispute with B, A has
asked company C to carry out balance piping welding job(Belong to B) with company "C"
qualified welders & Company B WPS's.

( Consumable,QC supervision and control of nde belongs to company C.).
Is it allowed?.

Regards,
mohd.

Re: [MW:34105] SA266 GR4N 4 Cycle SPWHT

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

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...
