Re: [MW:24541] PWHT of branch connections.//B31.3

Dear Sir,

My doubt is, the width of the band (HB or GCB) along the length of main pipe is on the logic of diminishing temperature and its metallurgical effects. Why not it is not considered to do the pwht of the branch in the vicinity area of branch/RF pad only by the same logic of HB and GCB near the weld area of RF pad/branch.( This will reduce the consumption of power, coiling time etc.)

Thanking you

Dear Hareesh

Yes, it is. guidance for placement of thermocouples can be reffered to para 6.6.4 of AWS D10.10
control thermocouples on larger pipe and monitoring thermocouples on smaller branch connection

Dear Sir,

As per ASME B31.3, for branch connections, PWHT is to be done for the entire circumference of main pipe. Is there any exceptions/code interpretations for that, in Carbon steel material or Alloy steel material (SA335 Gr P9,95)?

For example: A 3/4" branch is done on the main pipe of 60" dia. As per the code requirement, the entire 60" dia is to be wrapped with coil and PWHT is to be done.

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...

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

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, ...
