Re: [MW:20618] API 650 - Impact acceptance criteria for A516 Gr.60

Mr. George Dilintas,
Thank you for your response.
OK. Understood. The plates are normalized, so it is group IIIA.
But even though Fig. 4-1b says that impact test is not necessary, according to 9.2.2.4, impact test of weld metal shall be made for all welding procedures when DMT< -7 ĀŗC (20 ĀŗF) which means, I believe, that impact teste shall be done.
If so, where are the minimun values?
Best Regards,

you misinterpret 9.2.1.3.
You should at a 1st instance check if you can exempt your plates from impact testing using the figures 4-1a/4-1b.
According to the table 4-4b A516-60 is Group III if not normalized or IIIA if normalized.
Practically, according to Fig. 4-1b above -40oF you can use this material without impact testing

A tank will be built from ASTM A516 Gr. 60. and under the rules of API 650/2013.
The design temperature is 0 ĀŗF.
The welding of horizontal shell joints will be done by SAW.
There is impact requirement for weld metal, according to 9.2.2.4 + 4.2.10.3.

The point is that ASTM A516 is included in QW-422 and according to 9.2.1.3, it is not possible consider this material as P1. Therefore, I believe it is not possible to use the values described in 9.2.2.5.

If so, where are the minimum values for impact test?

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, ...
