Re: [MW:23011] HOLDING OF ELECTRODES

Dear all,

 As it's knows the  coating of Low Hydrogen Electrodes (basic electrodes) include CaCO3 and CaF2(Calcium Fluoride),ferroalloys (ferrosillicium, ferromaganese) and iron powder.
I would like to open a discussion about  the arc(DCEN,DCEP) stability (effect of the CaF2,CaCo3 content of coating):

-the arc stability evaluated by conductivity of the arc gap B (B=I/Ut where I,U and T are respectively the current(A) Voltage(V)and ignition time(sec)of the arc.)
-CaCo3/CaF2 ratio influence of arc stability
-since the slag of these electrodes contain SiO2 and TiO2 oxides .melting of the electrodes has as result intensive interacation of these oxides with CaF2 with formation of gaseous with influence of arc stability.

Could somebody provide more explanation/infos concerning the above subjects?

Mr. Sivachidambaram,

Please see the attached document for your guidance. If these electrodes are
in " hermetically sealed" packs, one may avoid rebaking. There is  no
specific time limits for storage @ 150 Deg C, however storing for months
would not be advisable. You need to go with your electrode manufacture's
recommendations.

Thanks.

Dear  SIvachidambaram,
                                    You can keep it for continuously @ 150
deg .  Before that theses electrodes shall be  baked @ 250-300 deg for 2
hours .Once should we take care that, the required quantities of electrodes
should be taken for baking ,then long time holding can be avoided . And also
when baked electrodes contact with
room temp for more than 4 hours  ,then again re-bake required .

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, ...
