[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.

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...
