Re: [MW:28092] Thickness of weld metal qualified on two or more pipe as per ASME Sec ix for welders table QW-452.1 (b)

From the attached WPQ record, it clearly indicates,

Test A was welded with 2"NPS x 5.54 Thk & Test B was welded with 4"NPS x 13.49 Thk.

Test A was welded with GTAW 2mm & 3.54mm SMAW , So his qualification is GTAW up to 4 mm & SMAW up to 7.08 mm, and Dia qualified 25mm & Over – Example WELDER X

Test B was welded with GTAW 2mm & 11.49mm SMAW , So his qualification is GTAW up to 4 mm & SMAW up to 22.98mm, Dia qualified 73mm & Over - Example WELDER Y

So,

GTAW 2mm only deposited in either case and its qualified up to 4 mm only, Not 8 mm.!

SMAW 11.49mm only deposited and its qualified up to 22.98 mm only, Not unlimited.!

QW-452.1 (b) Note (2) shall be used when the diameter restriction along with thickness limitation comes in pics.

Example, In your case Test B i.e. WELDER Y cannot weld 25mm Dia pipe.

Thanks and Regards

Greetings,
Dear professionals,
Need your opinions and experience on below case.
Welders qualification as per ASME sec. ix for thickness qualification, can we use different thickness pipes as per Table QW-452.1 (b) Note (2) Two or more pipe test coupons with different weld metal thickness may be used to determine the weld metal thickness qualified and that thickness may be applied to production welds to the smallest diameter for which the welder is qualified in accordance with Table QW-452.3
One welder with below thickness qualifications.
Test A:
GTAW 4mm & SMAW 7.08mm qualified.
Test B:
GTAW 4mm & SMAW 22.98 mm qualified.
His qualification for GTAW 8mm? and SMAW Unlimited as per above note 2?
Noted: for reference images are attached.
Waiting for your valuable comments with references.

Re: [MW:10788] ON PLOT PIPING & OFF PLOT PIPING

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, ...

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...
