Re: [MW:25722] thickness on painted vessel

By Materials & Welding
I do not understand your question well, but according to the comments, you want to measure the wall thickness of the vessel already painted, my answer is that IF you can measure the thickness of the wall with Ultrasound measuring equipment thickness, but you need to have The function to discriminate paint, generally the modern equipments bring this function, you do not have to remove or remove the painting in any moment and can be inspected from the outside than if painted. I hope I've helped.

Dear Kumar,

If the vessel is not coated from inside the thickness can be measured from inside too. For small bore nozzles also you get special probe which can be used to check the thickness of Pipe wall. However coming back to your question whether UT can be performed after painting my answer is NO using a conventional UT machine with zero degree probe. How ever you can use thickness gauging machine to check the wall and there are machines which can be used where the DFT is upto 2000 microns especially used for marine applications.

Nitin Shetty.

Dear Experts,

Greetings.

Just expecting your views for the UT- thickness measurements on a
painted pressure vessel (shell thick 54 mm & head 65mm) painting
thickness -250 microns. material SA 516 Gr. 70 N.

The construction phase is going on but few vessels are painted but
baseline thickness measures to be taken. Awaiting valuable feedbacks
pl.

Thanks in advance,

Kumar.

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...

The Schaeffler and Delong diagrams for predicting ferrite levels in austenitic stainless steel welds

By Materials & Welding
Introduction Ferrite is important in avoiding hot cracking in during cooling from welding of austenitic stainless steels. 'Constitution diagrams' are used to predict ferrite levels from the composition by comparing the effects of austenite and ferrite stabilising elements. The Schaeffler and Delong diagrams are the original methods of predicting the phase balances in austenitic stainless steel welds. Nickel and chromium equivalents A 'nickel equivalent' is calculated for the austenite stabilising elements and a 'chromium equivalent' ferrite stabilising elements. These are used as the axes for the diagrams, which show the compositional equivalent areas where the phases austenite, ferrite, martensite (and mixtures of these) should be present. Although intended to show the phase balance of weld fillers, these diagrams can also be used to illustrate the phase balance of the 'parent' material. There are different diagrams for dif...
