Re: [MW:23748] Impact Test Requirement for Welds of API-650 Storage Tank when Design Metal Temperature is below -7°C

Dear

ASME SECIX is only a qualification code.Impact test requirements is out of the scope of SECIX.It is design code or client specification which specify impact test requirements as per service conditions.

Design code
to be followed for impact test requirements. Follow API
650.

Dear All,
A Fuel
Oil tank has been designed as per API-650 code and it is
mentioned in this code that when design metal temperature is
below -7°C impact test shall be carried out for all welds
for all components. The statement in code is given
as: 
"9.2.2.2
When the design metal temperature is below -7°C (20 OF),
impact tests of the weld metal shall be made for all
procedures used for welding the components listed in 4 2.10
1, for welding attachments to these components, and for
fabricating shell nozzles and manholes from pipe and
forgings listed in 4.5. 
In our case, design metal
temperature is below -7°C i.e. -10°C but still welding
engineer is insisting that impact testing is not required as
per ASME Section IX (QW-403.5).
My question is that Tank is designed
as per API-650 and there is no reference that ASME section
IX would supersede  the above statement of API-650 where
impact testing shall be carried out when Design Metal
Temperature is below -7°C.
Can anybody guide on this
subject.
Thanks in
advance

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...

The Schaeffler and Delong diagrams for predicting ferrite levels in austenitic stainless steel welds

Introduction Ferrite is important in avoiding hot cracking in during cooling from welding of austenitic stainless steels. 'Constitution diagrams' are used to predict ferrite levels from the composition by comparing the effects of austenite and ferrite stabilising elements. The Schaeffler and Delong diagrams are the original methods of predicting the phase balances in austenitic stainless steel welds. Nickel and chromium equivalents A 'nickel equivalent' is calculated for the austenite stabilising elements and a 'chromium equivalent' ferrite stabilising elements. These are used as the axes for the diagrams, which show the compositional equivalent areas where the phases austenite, ferrite, martensite (and mixtures of these) should be present. Although intended to show the phase balance of weld fillers, these diagrams can also be used to illustrate the phase balance of the 'parent' material. There are different diagrams for dif...
