[MW:25678] FW: 25673] In-service PQR Test as per API 1104

By Materials & Welding

Hello Ahmed,

 

Welding procedures for “in Service” welding on pipelines are usually qualified in accordance with API STD 1104, Appendix B. In service welding includes the attachment of repair sleeves, hot tap sleeves, and weld patches. It’s mandated that qualification testing be performed on steels of the same or higher carbon equivalent.

 

Please read through the requirements outlined in Appendix B. The cooling fluid should be flowing water (preferably) due highest quenching effect, resulting the highest hardness values on the pipe wall and the cross section. Simulating 100% of operating conditions is not a requirement. However the welding PQR coupons under water quenching would enforce welding under the worst conditions (especially controlling hardness & hydrogen cracking).

 

B-2.5 outlines the testing requirements, for such Type-B sleeve welds. Required tests are as below.

 

 

Hope this would clarify your doubts.

Subject: [MW:25673] Inservice PQR Test as per API 1104

 

Dear Expert,

We have one requirement where our Client wants us to carry out Inservice PQR Test as per Annex B on Header Pipe with simulated actual pipeline conditions

 

Is it API 1104 requirement to simulate actual pipeline conditions (Viz Pressure, Temperature, & Flow Rate etc) while carrying Inservice PQR Test

 

Also can somebody guide us on making arrangement which can create / simulate actual pipeline condition by using water as medium.

 

With Best Regards

 

Ahmed

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, ...
