[MW:28567] Re: Why Using external clamp and internal clamp is essential variable in API-1104.

Please refer API 1104, Clause 5.4, where it is not an essential variable for procedure qualification. However, restrictions are applied in case used, to have a sufficient load bearing weld length before removal of the clamps.
In construction, its becomes compulsory to use clamps for the pipe alignment to achieve

1. higher productivity
2. Improved quality control
3. Elimination of safety hazards
4. Eliminate tack welds which might occurs adjacent to weld area (commonly happen on site work to achieve fit-up even though its not permitted).

Also, the pipe diameters used in cross country pipelines can be from 20 inch to 50 inch where manual activities becomes unsafe and unproductive.


Thanks & regards

In (2)also the branch joint with mother pipe is a pressure joint and the
pad is a non pressure part.
So can the joint between mother and branch pipe be considered for PWHT
thickness?
 
Is there any interpretations available.

Thanks
 
Is it ok if we use in backing first Run with SMAW AND further subsequent
Saw weld?
 
Can you provide me any clause of sec-9 acceptance or non acceptance.
Regards

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...

The Schaeffler and Delong diagrams for predicting ferrite levels in austenitic stainless steel welds

Introduction Ferrite is important in avoiding hot cracking in during cooling from welding of austenitic stainless steels. 'Constitution diagrams' are used to predict ferrite levels from the composition by comparing the effects of austenite and ferrite stabilising elements. The Schaeffler and Delong diagrams are the original methods of predicting the phase balances in austenitic stainless steel welds. Nickel and chromium equivalents A 'nickel equivalent' is calculated for the austenite stabilising elements and a 'chromium equivalent' ferrite stabilising elements. These are used as the axes for the diagrams, which show the compositional equivalent areas where the phases austenite, ferrite, martensite (and mixtures of these) should be present. Although intended to show the phase balance of weld fillers, these diagrams can also be used to illustrate the phase balance of the 'parent' material. There are different diagrams for dif...
