Hi all,  Normally for sour service application , brand is an essential variable only for Nickel base and duplex consumable  . Trade name may vary and can be changed as long as same F number and A number is matching need to make one additional supplement chemical analysis and you may proceed  if client agrees. This is my suggestion only.

Dear Experts, We are using the MH310 Leeb Hardness Tester to check the hardness of the piping weld joints ( For production- NACE material) . Project specification states that the maximum allowable value is 248 HV10. When using the MH310  Tester to check, the Tester only shows the unit HV (not specified HV10). Client QC worry about unit of value:  the HV unit displayed is HV10 or HV. HV/HV10 are equivalent ? Client required to clarify. Please help me to clarify this issue and give reference. Thank you so much.   GIGI Piping Inspector    

ESAB is the welding consumable manufacturer name whereas OK TIGROD 16.30 is the Brand Name. Hence in this case the change in brand name is an essential variable.

Dear Experts   I am required to submit to the client as to how the “VALIDATION OF THE WELDING PROCESS FOR THE HARD FACING AND SEAT RING WELDING OF THE GATE VALVES” will be done. Following has already Been complied and submitted but the client wants some more to be done:-   01.    WPS is accepted as submitted. 02.    PQR based on the WPS is in place and accepted. 03.    Heat treatment is not the requirement.   Please advise what else should be done, give the reference of such requirements.   Thanks in advance   NS Gurm   PLEASE THINK BEFORE PRINTING  

Dear Sirs, Normally for duplex aramco standards allow us to follow ASTM A923 Method C , please reconfirm ASTM G48 is required for duplex. Additionally it is advise to do pickling before proceed for any test. This is my suggestion and recommendation that i carried out during my PQR.

Dear Sir, We are also facing this problem than a third party suggest us  98%Ar + 2% N2 for shielding and purging, after use of that mixture you get better result (Corrosion test pass).
