[MW:23894] Re: PTC requirements as per ASME Section VIII Div-2.

Dear babu,

For PTC, please refer Para 3.11.8.4 of ASME Sec VIII-Div II.
The mentioned para by you 3.10.2.2 is for simulation test coupon and not for PTC.

Hope this helps.

Dear Expert,

 

We are started manufacturing the LPG Sphere at our ARY project, Star Refinery Turkey.

 

Our Manufacturing Design Code of Sphere ASME Section -Vlll Div-2, design temperature -34 deg centigrade. Materials are impacted tested at  -34 deg centigrade wıth simulated heat treatment Condition.


 Materials Details are,

Materials:-  SA537 Cl.1 ( P.No - 1 Group No-2)

Thickness:-  28 mm & 45mm

 

As section –VIII Div-2 Production Test Coupon (PTC)/sample test coupon are mandatory.

But client specification only emphasis the Code not lookup the specific requirement.

As per Section Vlll Div-2 Table No - 6.8 PWHT shall be done materials thickness more than 38mm and above.

 

As per this clause our 28mm thick materials (shell) used sphere need not to be PWHT done.

Clause No-3.10.2.2 (provision of sample test coupons) calls for Sample test coupon only which under PWHT.

As per this clause we shall take PTC only 45mm thickness used plate of sphere, no need to do PTC for 28mm thickness used plate of sphere or PTC shall be taken from both.

 

you are requested please advise me how many test coupon are required as per ASME Section-VIII Div-2, what is the dimension the PTC, what test should be requirements and what time we shall conduct it.

Re: [MW:34105] SA266 GR4N 4 Cycle SPWHT

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...

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...
