Re: [MW:19410] Use of ASME IX WPS for Dissimilar Thickness of More than Range of Groove Weld Thickness Qualified?

1. You can use compensatory block on thinner side for RT, ask your NDT contractor, he might arrange one.

2. CVN Impact specimen can be taken, did you check with the lab, why it can't be taken?

Hi,

Considering unequal wall thickness,
1. Radiography control of welded joints will be possible to do?

RT films will give too much exposure on the thinnest side, not enough exposure on the thickest side. Should Ultrasonic testing will remains as only options?

2. Charpy V Testing of Welding Procedure Qualification can be possible?

- specimen placement in the CAP FL at Thicker member (and FL+2 and FL+5) side and CAP WM. Please see attached sketches.

Any thoughts?

Dear,

Since this joint may be considered as single bevel groove weld joint (CJP) and considering your WPS/PQR is qualified max. up to 40 mm base metal thk. with similar thickness abutting joint, please read bold letters remarks below.

ASME Section IX. QW-202.4 Dissimilar Base Metal Thicknesses.

WPS qualified on groove welds shall be applicable for production welds between dissimilar base metal thicknesses provided:

(1) For P-No. 8, P-No. 41, P-No. 42, P-No. 43, PNo.44, P-No. 45, P-No. 46, P-No. 49, P-No. 51, P-No.52, P-No. 53, P-No. 61, and P-No. 62 metal, there shall be no limitation on the maximum thickness of the thicker production member in joints of similar P-Number materials provided qualification was made on base metal having a thickness of 1⁄4 in. (6 mm) or greater.

Remark 1: If your both joining material P Nos. are same & are one of the above mentioned P Nos. then the said joint is accepted.

Remark 2: If one of your production joint material P No. is other then of the above mentioned P Nos. then the said joint is not accepted.

Remark 3: If both the joining materials are having different P nos. then the said joint is not accepted.

Thanks & Regards

Dear All,

Please advise whether A WPS qualified per ASME Sec IX. with PQR Thickness 20mm, can be used for below Joint as shown below, with dissimilar thickness of 92mm and 30mm? As shown in below figure.

Kindly Give Sec, IX clasue reference if possible.

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...

Re: [MW:10788] ON PLOT PIPING & OFF PLOT PIPING

Piping systems involved for the flow lines and gathering lines from the well head isolation valve to the production facility or processing plant isolation valve are determined as OFF PLOT. ON PLOT defines piping system in the processing plant and production platform. ANSI/ASME B31.4 applies for off plot piping system. B31.4 allows the use of either API 1104 or ASME section IX (as appropriate). However, occasionally, a very small system such as piping within 500 feet of a processing plant (some client also said 400 feet) may be declared B31.3 rather than B31.4. When B31.3 is invoked, only ASME Section IX is used. before you decide which code to use for welding procedure and/or welder qualification for pipe welding, you have to know the design and construction code applicable to the system. Please read far enough into scope and diagram illustrating the application of either B31.3 and B31.4 hope this helps rgds 2011/4/21 pradip kumar sil < pradipsil@gmail.com > Dear all, ...
