RE: [MW:25610] Comparison for FCAW & GMAW

I note that it is a big job, and assume it is on onshore pipeline of many km in length. Automated GMAW (bug and band systems) are commonplace in the welding of oil and gas pipelines. Productivity can be excellent, assuming the terrain is suitable and the organisation of the welding spread is properly planned and organised. The issue of lack of fusion is managed by good welding procedures, which are qualified per project. There are many systems but you could start by looking at CRC-Evans and viewing their excellent videos which you will find online and give you a good idea of how it all works. A Google search will find other competing systems.

GMAW is prone to lack of fusion

it is better to go with FCAW because consumable is suitable for all position welding

Hi friends,

 

We have a big pipe line job in water segment.

We are planning to implement FCAW or GMAW technique to expedite the welding activity…

Please suggest me that which technique is most favorable for IS2062 material (equivalent to Pno 1) at site for 5G or 6G position…..

Your detail explanation will be more helpful on selecting the process….

Also in terms of cost – which will be economical for the project ….

 

Thanks & Regards,

Lakshman Kumar B,

Project Manager.

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, ...
