Re: [MW:27525] Combination of PQR in same WPS

Dear Ankur,
This impact value only required in consumable certificate or in PQR only.
When your purchasing consumable with -46 impact tested and your PQR also pass in -46 impact value ,this WPS
you can use all normal carbon steel and LTCS material it will help to reduce the PQR and WPS.

Dear Ankur,
As Mr. Ramesh informed on the basis, i would like to give a simple example for easy understanding. 
Consider an organisation has performed a PQR with GTAW process on XX date for a GTAW WPS qualification. Later on YY date, another PQR performed by the same organisation for SMAW process for a SMAW WPS qualification.
Now the organisation would have 2 WPSs with individual process on each of the WPS. Now a new job has come, which demands the combination of Processes in one WPS. In this instance, the 2 PQRs can be combined together to make 1 WPS with both processes involved, provided that all the essential variables in the PQRs are within the limits as allowed by Section IX. This is one possible reason among many as such.

Hi
 

how non-impact tested PQR ( your third PQR)  supported with impact tested WPS !!! any thickness limitation they mentioned in WPS??? Need more details on that... 


To utilize the advantage of clause in ASME Sec IX-QW- 200.2(f), Multiple WPSs With One PQR or Multiple PQRs With One WPS,  


Welding Engineer decides the best possible combinations of various PQRS by supporting in single WPS by considering production weldment requirements, design aspects like service condition, Design / operating temp etc.. 


​Other basic reasons like to combine processes like Root pass from one PQR & Rest from other PQRs etc. or to cover thickness ranges or use multiple consumables combination or additional positions etc.. etc.. in Single WPS

Dear Ankur,

It is general guide line to reduce number of WPS / PQR & technically why increase qualification requirements beyond bare minimum.

Over a period of time & with great understanding even code has gone to the extent of recognising concept of sWPS to further reduce the burden of inventing the wheel again & again in advance fast moving technological life.

It is this technical philosophy that even the third test piece preserved by you shall be useful in an eventuallity as either
1. In case of major repair at site requiring one additional PWHT; The validation by additional PWHT & testing shall become best directional results before proceeding for repair.

OR

2. In future the same equipment under different design temperature can be tested even prior to accepting an order. That means further validation for different criteria (This type of research & its acceptance from welding, metallurgy & corrosion as well as life cycle of equipment can expand the horizen
& value addition to international community.

Hope explanation shall be open for new discussion.

Dear All,

I have a WPS(Impact tested) which is supported by 03 different PQR's. One of PQR is impact tested at -46° C, other at -29°C and third one is not tested for impact. I am not sure what could be the reason for combining these PQR's other than impact requirements.

Can someone give me general guidelines what are the usual reasons for use combination of PQR's in single WPS.

Regards,
Ankur Pandey.

Re: [MW:34105] SA266 GR4N 4 Cycle SPWHT

Hi,  You are correct, Minimum refers to the one cycle for which this part will expose until final work shop PWHT. hence mill test certificate shall include this.  Max. SPWHT, refers to additional cycles of heat treatment that are reserved for future repairs during equipment lifetime.  Again, these simulated no. Of cycles shall be specified in MTC.  The idea is we need to make sure that steel mechanical properties are not compromised upon exposure to multiple repairs (i e 4 cycles in your case).  One could say, if steel is subjected to 4 cycles and is ok, then it should by defacto be good for one cycle, yet, this is wrong assumption cause mechanical problems and microstructure of materials varies accordingly based on no. Of cycles for which material will expose. This is apparent in alloy steel and especially for impact test values as an example.  In your case, this forged CS with properties before PWHT can be understood to be " as forged" condition (i.e. Wit...

Heat tint (temper) colours on stainless steel surfaces heated in air // Heat tint

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...
