[MW:28475] Re: Hot tap wps

By Materials & Welding
The clause demand for group qualification based on pipeline operating condition by the company. Here group refer to classification based on operations conditions rather than based on SMYS of the material. e.g. company separated the operation group based on the type of fluid inside, fluid temp & velocity, fluid pressure etc as these factorial change will impact the rate of weld cooling.

Now change in any of above condition based on group qualified shall be regarded as essential variable.
Hope it will help you.

Thanks & regards

Dear Experts,

We are actually in the process of making WPS for Hot Tapping . in this context while referring to API 1104 , unable to interpret the below paragraph from API 1104 In Service welding .

Kindly help in understanding

B.2.3.1.2 Pipeline Operating Conditions


For in-service welds, an increase in the severity of the pipeline operating conditions (in terms of weld cooling rates)
above the group qualified constitutes an essential variable.

Thanks in advance

Regards,

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

By Materials & Welding
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

By Materials & Welding
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...
