[MW:24717] Best Answers required.

By Materials & Welding
Dear Experts,

One of my friend sent me the following and asked me to find out the answers for the following case study.I request you all, pls study the same and give me the answer.Thanking you all for your help and advise.

With Best Regards

                                                                                        CASE STUDY


LNG tanks have submerged pumps that are used to recirculate and unload LNG from Storage Tanks.These pumps are Installed in a caisson that goes through the tank roof.
There is a bolted joint at the top of the caisson for Installation and accesses n to the pumps.It is found that LNG liquid leaked from the bolted joint during the startup of the pump.The liquid LNG flowed beneath the Insulation by passing the spill tray and leaked on to the carbon steel roof.


1. What will be the problem triggered by LNG liquid leakage onto Carbon Steel Roof? Why?

2.    What will be the immediate causes of the LNG liquid leaked from the bolted joint?

3.What is the control measure breakdown which caused LNG liquid leakage onto Carbon Steel Roof?

4.Based on above incident description, what is the possible causes technically which may contribute to this incident. I.e. LNG liquid leaked onto the carbon steel roof?

         5.  Please explain what is the recommended action to prevent the recurrence of this problem? Please explain in all aspects to minimize immediate cause and system cause as answered above). Please mention also applicable code and standard.

Your earliest reply on the above will be highly appreciated.Thanking you all once again.

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

By Materials & Welding
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

By Materials & Welding
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...
