As per API clause 4.2.2 e) ASTM A516M Grades 380, 415, 450, 485/A516, Grades 55, 60, 65, and 70, for plates to a maximum thickness of
40 mm (1.5 in.) [thickened insert plates and flanges to a maximum thickness of 100 mm (4 in.)].

Maximum thickness is allowed upto 40mm for A516 Gr.70 material, how subcontractor can consider 45mm thickness for Crude tank.

Hi
 
If i am not wrong the below clause is for the flush type cleanout fittings rather than the shell butt welded plates
 
Thanks & Regards,

Mr Malhotra,
 
Please refer the following clause of API 650 regarding PWHT, for Gr I,II,III,IIIA steel,Table 4-4a illustrates the grouping, which mostly applies to Carbon Steel.
 
If the steel used falls in any one of the above group and the weld exceeds 25 mm (1 inch) in thickness ,PWHT would be required as per clause 5.7.4., 5.7.4.3
 
Thanks.

5.7.4 Thermal Stress Relief: When the shell material is Group I, II, III, or IIIA, all opening connections NPS 12 or larger in nominal diameter in a shell plate or thickened insert plate more than 25 mm (1 in.) thick shall be prefabricated into the shell plate or thickened insert plate, and the prefabricated assembly shall be thermally stress-relieved within a temperature range of 600°C – 650°C (1100°F – 1200°F) for 1 hour per 25 mm (1 in.) of thickness prior to installation. The stress-relieving  requirements need not include the flange-to-neck welds or other nozzle-neck and manhole-neck attachments, provided the following conditions are fulfilled:

Subject: [MW:10320] PWHT of tank shell plates as per API 650

Dear Members,
 
We have crude and petroleum tanks in which shell plates thickness vary from 8 mm to 45 mm and the tanks are constructed by our contarctors. We just want to be sure whether PWHT has to be carried out or not. Our contrcator says as per API 650 there will be no PWHT of shell plates. I also refered API 650 but couldnt find any thing about pwht of shell plates. Cab any one help me out on this issues, in case pwht is to be carried out for shell plates, kindly provide the reference clause no from API 650.
 
Regards,

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...

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

By Materials & Welding
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, ...
