Re: [MW:22017] tube to tube sheet qualification.

By Materials & Welding
Dear sir 
Please note that carrying out tube to tubesheet mock up before actual welding On job is the intent of the code.
This involves the actual welding variables and sequence to be followed on job.
You should weld the mock up simulating actual job condition and sequence. I.e. Do exactly same on mock up what you want to do on job.

For your query regarding combining two mock up qualifications. 
Ask your AI or concerned tpi for its acceptance. In this case they may refuse you proposal of combining two PQRs because it is not simulating actual job conditions. 
Anyway you talk with them and proceed.


Best regards

Thanks hegde sir for valuable revert,
Still have little bit query,
I have two separate qualifications of mock up for same pattern,  but only thing is one is with addition of filler wire, another one is without addition of filler,
But in actual job, now welder is welded intially by fussing ( 90 % of welding without addition of filler) then unfilled portions are welded by adding filler wire to achieve good finish.

So shall I make single mock up wps using those two pqrs,
If no, then Wat to do in above case,
If I need to again qualify mock up procedure in single pqr using initially wihout filler and then by addtion of filler wire ,is it allowed by code?

Regards
Mahesh mirje

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

By Materials & Welding
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

By Materials & Welding
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...
