SEE MY COMMENTS IN BOLD

PQR's should be witnessed ( no formal requirement for witnessing)/approved   by RTPO/ NOBO even if it is as per ASME IX and Section VII Div. 1 . ( ASME does not require third party witness ). This applies for Categories II, III, IV

Welders to be certified (approved, the term certified is not mentioned in the PED)  by RTPO/NOBO. If welders have been qualified as per ASME but witnessed by a RTPO/NOBO it will satisfy.( ASME does not require third party witness ).  This applies for Categories II, III, IV

NDT personnel to be certified (approved, the term certified is not mentioned in the PED) by RTPO typically  by BINDT etc which is a member of European Federation for Non-Destructive Testing (EFNDT). ( ASNT does not require third party witness ), This applies for Categories III, IV


NOBO and RTPO are bodies registered  (Notified to the EU  is the correct term, legally notifcation is different from registration) in the European union. You can get the list of approved national bodies from this link 

PED is a law and when you implement a law the correct terms have to be used.

PED is a directive only it is not  design code. 
Since you are going for ASME for the design and construction you need to comply with all  ASME requirements plus additional requirements of PED.

PQR's should be witnessed/approved   by RTPO/ NOBO even if it is as per ASME IX and Section VII Div. 1 . ( ASME does not require third party witness )

Welders to be certified by RTPO/NOBO. If welders have been qualified as per ASME but witnessed by a RTPO/NOBO it will satisfy.( ASME does not require third party witness )

NDT personnel to be certified by RTPO typically  by BINDT etc which is a member of European Federation for Non-Destructive Testing (EFNDT). ( ASNT does not require third party witness )


NOBO and RTPO are bodies registered in the European union. You can get the list of approved national bodies from this link

Trust the above will help you.

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...
