[MW:25335] Acceptance for Ovality in mid section of 90 deg Elbow

Dear Members,

Recently we have ordered   8" X 20.62 mm thk 90 deg SMLS long radius (1.5 D)  A403 WP 316L modified(Urea grade)  elbows to be supplied as per ASME B 16.9  standard.

On verification of the elbows received at our site we found ovality in the mid section of the elbows.

The sketch showing the dimensions measured in the mid section is attached for reference.


When we verified ASME B 16.9 we found information about acceptance  for out of roundness at end only.  

Nothing was mentioned about acceptance  criteria for  ovality at the middle of the 90 deg elbow.

Learned members are requested to guide me  in this matter .

regards

Dear All,
Thanks for the response given to me explaining the root cause of the same.
Could any of you help me in telling how to rectify / salvage the existing shell with the indications at the toes as mentioned below.

Dear All,

I have a typical problem with my vendor who is manufacturing Coke drums for us.
The stage of NDT including RT is such that we need to take RT before PWHT and before overlay.

One of the section ( shell to Shell) under went the above process and cleared. After that it was overlayed by AWS class Inconel E NiCrFe3 electrodes on base plates ( SA387 Gr.11 ClassII) with 410S cladding on either side. Later the same was subjected to Pickling and passivation and went for PWHT.

Now durng APWHT stage, when we are performing PT and RT, surprisingly we are getting two wagon track linear indications on either sides of weld toes from inside ( on cladding side) which are exactly the border junction of ENiCrFe3 inconel and 410S cladding of the shell plates.
It is having a depth of around 0.5mm and width also same.

Could any one explain the cause of formation of this indication at the above juncture. As per our estimation, it could have happend due to pickling and passivation. Since another shell with above processes ( except pickling and passivation ) has not got any such indications.

Thanks for your time and efforts.

Regards,
Raghavendra

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, ...
