Re: [MW:23143] J groove bevel end requirement

By Materials & Welding
To reduce the weld volume, to control weld cost factor and  to avoid distortion,
we follow certain design norms like:

a. Single 'V' groove say up to 12 to 14 mm,
b. single 'U' groove for 16 to 20 mm
c. Double 'V' groove beyond  20/25 mm
d. Double 'U groove for 30/40 mm
e. single 'J' groove for 50/75 mm and
f. Double 'J' groove for 75 mm and above.

Similarly, Sq. butt without root gap up to 3 mm thick sheet,
Sq. butt with root gap from 4 to 6 and 'V' groove from 6 to 12 mm and like wise.
But there will be overlap in the material thickness selection in above.

But again, there are many constraints like approach to the joint, position of welding,
process selection, plate to pipe joint, quality requirements, availability of machining
facilities  etc. which may change above norms. 

Joint design  is not a mandatory requirement as per codes.But, joint design helps us
to control distortion, which varies from 3 to 9 deg. and said to be max. in single 'V' joint
and less in 'J ' groove type.

Double 'V', 'U' & 'J' helps to keep the distortion down to 2 to 3 deg. But again it depends
up on process selected and size of electrode used (SMAW) etc.

You can check any design manual for joint details.

dear probhakar ;

It's not mandatory you can always use V bevel but in order to minimise volume of weld metal deposit ,and therefore the welding time, we prefer to use J bevel for thikness above 19 mm.

Can anyone give me code reference for J groove bevel end  requirement above 22mm wall thickness.  Is it mandatory to go for J groove.?

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...

Re: [MW:10788] ON PLOT PIPING & OFF PLOT PIPING

By Materials & Welding
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, ...
