[MW:25939] Re: Overlap of reinforcement pad with existing pipe circumferential Joint

By Materials & Welding
Dear All,

I am laso having similar issue RF pad covers circumferential weld by 150 mm. (72" PIPE WITH 24" WELDOLET CS THINNESS 26MM,  FOR ASME B31.1) issued  NCR to engineering, but still i wont get satisfactory closed out,

waiting for your valuable comments

Deal All,

I have a question about Overlapping of RF Pad With an Existing Weld Joint.

We have a situation where hot tapping (NPS 36) to be performed on existing NPS 60 hot flare header. The branch connection was specified as Stub On with Reinforcement Pad as per ASME B31.3. There was a note specified on the ISO drawing to verify the hot tap location before executing the job. The contractor (perhaps overlooked the ISO note) weld the NPS 36 branch pipe and when they were about to weld reinforcement pad, they notice the reinforcement pad overlap with existing pipe weld.


Now the contractor has proposed to reduce the reinforcement pas width to 60mm to avoid overlapping with existing weld. I need you opinion on this proposed solution. Can we accept it.

What can be other possible solution keeping in view the welding requirements.

Design Code : ASME B31.3
Pipe Material : ASTM A672
Design Temp. 180 deg C
Design Pressure : 3.5 kg /cm2 g
Corrosion Allowance : 3.2 mm
Header WT: 15.3 mm
Header size : 60 inch
Branch size : 36 inch

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, ...
