Re: [MW:20849] PWHT for Heat exchanger

Dear Mr.Rajesh,

The fixed tubesheet exchanger to be heat treated before putting tubes  in bundle. ( Rest all the activities to be completed). When heat treating some bare CS tubes can be inserted peripherally with rods inside and  bolted at the ends to prevent any distortion.  Then if required tube to tube sheet welding is to be locally  heat treated.

Regards
UP

Hi!
What is the T/Tsht joint constrction Whether it is expanded or Strength weld joint ?
ii)Why do you want to heat treat Whole Eqpt ? Does CS Gr 70 shell thk is more than 38mm thk if not
ii) You can get approval for T/tsht weld joint for Local SR by electrical heating
iii) As per ASME code Sec VIII Div 1 You can reduce the PWHT soaking temp with increasing soaking time  Refer code UCS 56

Dear All,

We are constructing an heat exchanger which has fixed tubesheet welded to shell.

Shell Material SA 516 Gr 70
Tube Material - Cu Ni 90:10
Tubesheet - SA 266 claded with CU Ni 90:10

Customer is demanding PWHT for complete heat exchanger due to process. But we have fear for failure of tube bundle after PWHT due to differential thermal expansion.

Please comment if CODE has any reference to this?

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, ...
