Re: [MW:22700] tube to tubesheet welding

Dear venkatesh,
If your weld joint for tube to tubesheet is just a Seal weld and there is no special requirements from your client, then you can propose your client to use the existing pqr.
Check your client spec for any Mockups required as per ASME IX Qw193.
Is this for U stamp Project?
If yes, then you write a WPS based on existing 10 mm PQR , once it is confirmed as Seal Weld in your fab. Dwg
Seal weld is nothing but a fillet weld.
Read ASME QW 288 also for tube to tubewelds.
Regards
Sarav.

Dear Sir,

            Thanks for your reply, code of construction is ASME SEC IX & SEC VIII DIV.1, and i have PQR qualified thickness is 10mm with 3G position,my doubt is to initiate the tube to tubesheet welding process before i need to do any Welder Performance Qualification Record(WPQ)?

            I am awaiting for your reply, Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Venkkatesh

Hi,
What is the code of construction?
Considering welding code as Section IX and construction code Section Viii div. 1
If your PQR is qualified on 10mm plate in 3G, then both of ur tube as well as tubesheet, with range 1.5mm to 20mm. You can use it for welding tube to tubesheet welding.

If your PQR thickness is less r more than 10mm then you may have to club it with any other PQR based on the ranges required.

Above info is valid only if construction code is ASME section VIII Div.1. If it is Div.2 then you have to qualify a pqr as per QW-193 of ASME section IX.

Hope above information is useful to you.

Dear Experts,

             I need to do tube to tubesheet welding for CS Steel that is tubesheet material is SA 516 Gr.70 thk 20mm and tube material is SA 179 thk is 2.108mm welding process is GTAW, i have WPS in GTAW process with 3G welding my doubt is this WPS is suit for above mentioned statement or i need to qualify any welder qualification for welding this process. kindly please suggest me what ill do.

i am awaiting for your reply.

Thanks & Regards,

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, ...
