Re: [MW:28149] PIPELINE PQR /WPS API 5L Grade X60

I agree with Mr. Rameshkannan Devaraj except for Answer for question 1. As per the latest revisions ( 2013, 2016 and 2018) Para 7.2.1 states that " Welding procedures for pipelines designed to ASME B 31.4 or ASME B 31.8 shall be qualified with API STD 1104 or ASME SEC IX". Please refer your project standard cut off date.

Sajeev

Hi

My response for your query as below

1) Pl refer Clause 7.2.1 of SAES-W-012, "All welding procedures for pipelines shall be qualified in accordance with API STD 1104 as required by the design codes, ASME B31.4 and ASME B31.8.
For other applications permitted by the design code, procedures may be qualified in accordance with ASME SEC IX."
2) Pl refer Clause 7.4.19 & 7.2.1 Para 2 of SAES-W-012, - Required
3) & 4 ) Pl refer Clause 6.1.5 of SAES-W-012, go with manufacturer recommendation, Aramco is requirement is as per ASME Sec II C
5) Pl refer Clause 7.5.1 & 7.2.1 Para 2 of SAES-W-012, - Required
6) Pl refer Clause 7.4 – Procedure Variable of SAES-W-012

Thanks and Regards

Rameshkannan Devaraj

Dear Experts,

Need your suggestions/feedback for developing PQR /WPS for the following:-

Wet crude Sour service pipeline , ASME B31.4/31.8 , API 5 L Gr X60 ,ISO 15156 ,PSL2 , 24" ,12.7MM thickness, ASME Sec IX/API 1104 , Temperature range 0 to 90' C

My quarry:-

1)As per the applicable Aramco Standard ( SAES-W-012) , for Manual Welding process PQR can be qualified to either ASME SEC IX or API 1104, but many are insisting to use API 1104 to qualify as it is a pipeline . So kindly advise

2) Impact test required?

3)Suggested Welding Consumables for a) SMAW only b) GTAW & SMAW

4)Contractor is insisting for all pass Downhill welding using cellulosic electode E7010 for all passes,to avoid baking and storage requirements of Low hydrogen electrode(E7018).Is it possible ?

5)Hardness required for PQR?

6)Can this PQR be used for welding API 5L Grade B joints, without re-qualification?

Apologize for the lenghty quarry, waiting your valuable reponses.

Thank you

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...

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, ...
