The thicknesses used are generally do not match exactly designed values for reasons of availability, form etc. Even materials with better properties may be at times substituted. On  back calculation, the design values the equipment can be subjected to would be higher in proportion to the better specifications used over the one in the design calculation. The minimum value of this back calculated value for all the components is the MAWP. If such back calculation is not done  MAWP becomes design pressure. MAWP is very important in sizing safety fittings.

While welding CS with 316, ( chemistry 19Cr+12Ni), there is loss in Cr and Ni more 316 when compare with 309( 24Cr+13). For maintaining austenetic structure in ASS( as per code B31.1, which is attached) minimum requirement of Ni is 8, which may not be achievable with 316. So, it is better to use 309 instead of 316 THANKS & BEST REGARDS, KG.PANDITHAN, BE, IWE,  CSWIP 3.1, ISO 9712 Level 2 in VT, ASNT-Level II in PT,MT,RT & UT, LA ISO 9001-2015, International Welding Engineer.  CONSULTANT-WELDING & QUALITY Mobile no: +919940739349 On Fri, Dec 27, 2019 at 11:45 AM Jason < haiyuqingkong@gmail.com > wrote: ASTM A106 Gr.B  is Carbon steel，E316L electrodes are used for stainless steel 在 2019年12月23日星期一 UTC+3上午8:25:39，Navanith写道： Dear Experts, Require guidance on filler material selection as per ASME BPVC.

Hi,  Expert, please see the below your answer...as per Saudi Aramco Standard, SAES-A-004 Para 5.7. Protection from Overpressure All systems (piping and equipment) while being pressure tested shall be protected from being over pressured by the following: Pressure test relief valve(s) of adequate capacity set to relieve at 5% above the test pressure shall be installed unless the test pressure is less than 85% SMYS at which time it can be set at 10% above the test pressure. Sizing of these relief valves used for testing shall follow the requirements of API RP 520, Part 1. The relief valve(s) shall be tested, dated, and tagged within two weeks prior to the pressure test for new construction projects, and within three months for maintenance operations. The pressure test relief valve shall be accompanied with a calibration certificate that includes the cold differential test pressure (CDTP), test date and the spring range. The CDTP shall be within the spring range. Pressure testing relief va...

Received clarification from the client about using E316L to weld Carbon steel. Their welders are qualified to weld steel (P1 to P15) with filler material (F1 to F4). They want these welder to be qualified for F No. 5 but do not have austenitic steel base metal in stock. Only Carbon steel is available in stock. Therefore, they have requested a PQR to weld Carbon steel base metal P No 1 with E316L and ER 316L (F5 and F6). In case the coupon meets ASME Section IX Nondestructive and destructive testing requirements, they will prepare a WPS which shall be used only to qualify welders for F number. On another note, I hope to receive guidance on selection of filler materials in general.  What are the parameters to be considered to select filler materials for any base metal and whether it is addressed by general standards in the industry.
