Re: [MW:21290] QW-452.3 GROOVE-WELD DIAMETER LIMITS

Dear Rajesh,

Hope this will help.

The following interpretation of ASME Section IX applies to Set-through and Set-on nozzle installation:
Interpretation: IX-80-67
Subject: Section IX, Nozzle to Shell Connections
Date Issued: December 8, 1980
File: BC-80-675
Question: When nozzle or branch connections are attached to the wall or head of a pressure vessel, what are the basic criteria establishing procedure and performance qualification requirements, assuming impact test is not a requirement?

Reply: Where the nozzle is attached to the vessel by welding completely through the thickness of the vessel wall, the procedure shall be qualified for the thickness of the vessel wall penetrated by the nozzle or attachment. Where additional metal is placed on either the interior or exterior of the vessel wall in the form of fillet welds, they shall be considered as having been qualified by the procedure qualification covering the thickness of the vessel wall. Performance qualification for this weldment may be made in plate to cover the appropriate thickness of the vessel wall and the position in which the weld is being made. Diameter is not a factor.

Where the nozzle or attachment is welded to the vessel wall by welding through the thickness of the nozzle or attachment, the procedure qualification shall be made for the thickness of the nozzle or attachment wall at the time of welding. Performance qualification for this condition shall be made with the appropriate diameter pipe as required by QW-452.3, with the range of thickness of weld metal qualified determined by the thickness of the nozzle or attachment wall at the time of welding. Any fillet welds, both procedure and performance, will have been qualified when qualifying for the full penetration welds involved.

Note: The above interpretation refers to nozzle attachment to vessels, however the criteria apply to branch attachments topressure piping as well.

   Dear sir
              
Any reference document for below statement/ case study/Asme
interpatation copy . I have to give it to third party
inspector.
Now we are doing same but don't have document for
reference

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...

The Schaeffler and Delong diagrams for predicting ferrite levels in austenitic stainless steel welds

Introduction Ferrite is important in avoiding hot cracking in during cooling from welding of austenitic stainless steels. 'Constitution diagrams' are used to predict ferrite levels from the composition by comparing the effects of austenite and ferrite stabilising elements. The Schaeffler and Delong diagrams are the original methods of predicting the phase balances in austenitic stainless steel welds. Nickel and chromium equivalents A 'nickel equivalent' is calculated for the austenite stabilising elements and a 'chromium equivalent' ferrite stabilising elements. These are used as the axes for the diagrams, which show the compositional equivalent areas where the phases austenite, ferrite, martensite (and mixtures of these) should be present. Although intended to show the phase balance of weld fillers, these diagrams can also be used to illustrate the phase balance of the 'parent' material. There are different diagrams for dif...
