Re: [MW:27306] What is the allowable inner penetration during pipe wedling

There are lot of Factors involved in Radiography to determine the Density Variation for the ID penetration depth. Moreover you use a Double wall viewing and it is very difficult to determine.

Other methods include

1. Boroscopy

2. Ball run Test. A steel ball with the required diameter shall be passed through the tubes and determine the depth of penetration.

Thanks & Regards

Dear Experts,

During pipe to pipe welding by single V butt joint by GTAW process (example : 1" XXS P91 pipe), there is a weld reinforcement over the groove and maintained 2 to3 mm of height, such a way ID penetration is also there. How much of height ID penetration is allowed? which is to be checked by RT exam. Kindly clarify and give me any supporting/ document reference.

Re: [MW:27304] stainless steel purging requirements

Hello

Nadeem,

Backing Gas Purge Times for Stainless Steel Pipe

Nominal Pipe Size
Purge Time (minimum)
2 inch NS
0.5 minutes
4
2 minutes
6
4 minutes
8
7 minutes
10
10 minutes
12
15 minutes

25 minutes
Assumes use of argon gas at a flow rate of 20 CFH (9 lpm).
Listed times are for each 300 mm of pipe length to be purged (multiply by actual length). Use the values for 300 mm for any shorter length.

as per standards ASME

In order to obtain a suitably smooth,
uniform under side weld surface without crevices or oxidation,
a purge must be established using a suitable protective
gas. Since the second and third passes in the joint may
take the previously deposited consumable insert root pass
above the oxidizing temperature of the base and filler metal,
it may be necessary to maintain the purge until three layers
or 3⁄16 in. (4.8 mm) root thickness is obtained.

most cases ,refer to project specifications from client (DGS)

Re: [MW:27300] P number for IS 2062grade E 350

Its ASME committee which considers each material and decides if it can be included in code. May be they have not taken up Gr 350. Several reasons, may be they were not asked, may be no time, may be relevant details not given, may be considered and not acceptable to asme commitee. In case any body is interested, a request may be made to materials commitee.

Dear Ajay

Forging can be machined to required size of nozzle. Ideally manufacturers facility does permit nozzle weld overlay, they prefer to go ahead with SS pipe.

RE: [MW:27297] SS Forged Bar machined to make Pipe for Nozzles Fabrication

To All.

Please read through the extracts from ASME Sec-VIII, DIV-1. I would think machining a hollow pipe section from a solid bar stock would not be technically acceptable due to the highlighted clauses as below.

Also the manufacturing routes of seamless pipes and solid bar stocks are different. Seamless pipes are made by "Pilgering"(ref SA312 for example) while solid bars are made by forging.

Notes for pipes the starting material could be solid bar stock however the pipes have to be to heat treated following manufacturing. Technically there would be incompatibility of properties , such as flow of grains influencing the mechanical properties.

In view of the above clauses and so many technical ifs and buts it would be worthwhile to stick to the option of seamless stainless pipes, which should be available plenty ex stock in anywhere.

This matter should be discussed and proceeded only after discussion with the ASME /Authorised inspector.

Thanks.

Rod and bar materials shall conform to the requirements for bars or bolting in the applicable part of Subsection C.

(b) Except for flanges of all types, hollow cylindrically shaped parts [up to and including NPS 4 (DN 100)] may be machined from rod or bar, provided that the axial length of the part is approximately parallel to the metal flow lines of the stock. – This is an important point to note.

UCS-12 BARS AND SHAPES

(a) Approved specifications for bar and shape materials of carbon steel are given in Table UCS-23. A tabulation of allowable stress values at different temperatures are given in Table 1A of Section II, Part D.

(b) Bolt materials as described in UCS-10 may be used as bar materials.

(c) Parts made from bars, on which welding is done, shall be of material for which a P‐Number for procedure qualification is given in Section IX, QW‐422 (see UW-5).

Re: [MW:27296] SS Forged Bar machined to make Pipe for Nozzles Fabrication

Hi ,

In another way ,

Nowadays lots of technology come up for Weld overlay of 2 inch and lesser diameter from fronius and polysude .

We need to use the particular TIG torch if the vendor holds cladding machine.

Alternatively ... you can proceed with SS forged material as long as material is properly tested with IGC and material MTC is enclosed from the mill with all heat number details and need to do PMI on material before welded with vessel.

This is an additional information only.

1. The purity of the gas. You need to get your gas from trusted and reputable manufacturer. Ensure you are given high purify gas mixture

2. You need to have an analyser to analyse the Oxygen content inside the pipe and this need to be there for at least 4 passes.

3. You need to clean the weld joint area with acetone.

4. You may apply drying of the joint with hot air blower.

5. Welding should be done in an enclose restricted area to reduce wind draught.

Re: [MW:27281] Mixture Gas Ar/N2

Hello,

The Porosity could be due to one of the following issues.

1. The purity of the gas. You need to get your gas from trusted and reputable manufacturer. Ensure you are given high purify gas mixture

2. You need to have an analyser to analyse the Oxygen content inside the pipe and this need to be there for at least 4 passes.

3. You need to clean the weld joint area with acetone.

4. You may apply drying of the joint with hot air blower.

5. Welding should be done in an enclose restricted area to reduce wind draught.

Regards.

[MW:27280] RE: 27277] Mixture Gas Ar/N2

Abi,

If premixed gases are procured from reputed manufacturers , it should not be a concern. What's the gas mix: Ar+2% N2 or Ar+5%N2 ?

Higher percentage of Nitrogen in the gas mix may cause porosities in DSS welds. Also there are many other factors also, which could cause porosities in DSS welds. One has to see everything in totality.

Thanks.

RE: [MW:27281] 17-4PH welding( Double aged H1150)

Hi Daniel,

Several questions:

1. Your photo shows 4 coupons, not just 1 coupon. Please explain.

2. What were the welding preheat and interpass temperatures?

3. If the test coupon is only 1-1/2-inches thick, why was the PWHT soak time 4 hours?

4. Since the PWHT soak time was 1150 ^oF, the coupon must have been an ASME P-No. 1 carbon steel. What is the coupon's ASTM classification (e. g. SA-516-70)?

5. The bend in the coupon implies uneven cooling, top to bottom.

6. What were the maximum heating and cooling rates during PWHT?

7. Did the coupon undergo PWHT in a furnace for equal heating and cooling on both sides?

8. Or were electric resistance heaters employed?

Regards,

Dennis Thompson

Dear Experts,

We had qualification with GTAW and SMAW (manual process) on 1.5" thick test coupon . to prepare build up welding procedure . our test coupon got Post weld heat treatment at 1150°F for 4 hours ( without solution annealing ) .

Test got failed at the first step for side bend ( see attached picture ).

I`m looking for a reason or reasons of this failure .

Do you think the reason should came from , not perform solution annealing on the test coupon ? or something else should be reason !

Cheers,

[MW:27276] PQR PMI - Fe value

Hi Mohamed,

In addition to the response of Harish Kannepalli, some additional information may be of help.

· Check the calibration and accuracy of the equipment used.

· Whether it's OES or XRF, equipment precision and proper calibration is essential.

· It's desired that the calibration block should match or be closer to the chemistry of the material being tested.

· Also , the time of exposure, shorter exposure time for measurement could be erratic, and there could have variations in the reading.

· It's advisable to take multiple reading with longer exposure time and then to report the average.

It would be good to know, if the suggestions as above solved your problem or not.

Thanks.

Hi,

Please consider testing Fe using OES, as PMI values are not reliable for pass/fail criteria.

Thanks & Regards,

Dear Experts

can you advise me for the below clarifications,

We have Done the PQR as mentioned below material and after PQR the test piece measured the PMI value and all chemical composition are meet the Sec-2 C requirement except Fe value, please explain why it is happen and provide some technical data.

Base metal - ASTM A312 TP 304L to ASTM A312 TP 304L

Electrode : - ER NiCr-3

SFA 5.14 - Actual Fe - 3% Max & measured value - 8.83%

Best Regards,
