Dear Experts,
I have requirement of measurement of stresses generated in the piping in the operating project near Mumbai location.
Kindly let me know any assistance available for doing this activity. Usually Metallurgy labs. does similar testing.
1) Equipment can be used – like strain gauge, photoelectric instruments etc.
2) Agency or company (Name, contact person, phone no./mail id)which will provide the equipment as well as expert to visit at site
Thanks & With Best Regards,
Suyog Bhave
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...
