Re: [MW:23920] Bulge P-91 Pipe after PWHT

Why longer soaking for 12.7mm thick. The Hardness is very less on the bulged area, may be over heating?

Dear Mr. Rems,

Bulge happened just outside PWHT heat band.Pipe thickness is 12.70mm & did soaking 2 hrs. I already attached Time temp. chart. Header has eight nos of pipe but during PWHT only two pipes are bulge.

Thanks & Regards,

Pradip

Hello Pradip,

I believe the bulging did not occur on the weld zone but rather on the pipe and I believe that this area where part of the PWHT heat band.

There are two possible thing that will lead to this bulge.

1. The pipe collapsing on its weight during the PWHT as a result of softening effect.

2. The PWHT soaking temperature might be greater than the material heat treatment during the forming process which will also lead to softening and both 1&2 combining effect can lead to this bulge.

You will have to find a way to support the collapsing weight of the vertical pipe and also check if you have exceeded during the PWHT the tempering temperature during the pipe forming.

Dear Expert,

In P91 Material ( HRSG header Joint ) after pwht one joint is bulge.We did  Preheating ,Welding , Post Heating,& PWHT in proper way.

Can anybody explain why this bulge occurs & remedy.

During fit-up inspection & weld visual inspection all round the joint is perfect but after PWHT pipe is bulge 140 mm away from the   weld ment
