Re: [MW:25457] RE: 25392] PWHT

By Materials & Welding
It is controlled by the crystalline structure and more specifically:
  1. by the diffusion of atomic hydrogen
  2. by the capability to sustain the pressure of molecular hydrogen by plastic transformation
The increase of hardness is an indication of low ductility and thus less possibility of plastic transformation of the grains

Regarding the belowmentioned
I need to confirm that HIC is not controlled by hardness control but by steel chemistry 

All shall be reminded that wet sour service induce 

Sulfide stress cracking
Hydrogen induced cracking 
Stress oriented hydrogen induced cracking 
Hydrogen blistering 

Nace MR 0175 or nace MR 0103 only control ssc, please read these code introduction /preface

Hello, ZHY370137,

 

I'm not sure why you're asking this question is general forum, when your contract is bound by your clients' specifications and project requirements. Aramco has very comprehensive specifications for almost everything. If Aramco SAES-W-012 is applicable for your project you need to what's needed as per this spec.

 

What's  the design code, of the pipeline B-31.4 or 31.8? And what're the Aramco specifications applicable?

 

Usually for sour service hardness control is "mandatory" to mitigate the HIC. One of the effective ways to ensure hardness control is PWHT, unless vendor is able to prove otherwise.

 

Appreciate your response.

 

Thanks.

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...

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

By Materials & Welding
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, ...
