RE: [MW:29758] As per Section IX Thickness range qualification

WPS thickness qualification is determined using Table QW-451.1 – see below

Your base metal thickness, 17.48mm, falls in the third grouping "Over 3/8 (10mm) but less than ¾ (19mm). Per this line, the qualified base metal thickness is 3/16 (5mm) to 2T (twice the test coupon thickness). Further, the maximum qualified weld metal thickness is 2t (twice the deposited weld metal thickness) – this is determined solely from each essential variable grouping, your case per process employed. This latter is typical.

So, for your WPS the ranges of qualification per Table QW451.1 are:

Base metal: 5mm to 34.96mm (inclusive)

GTAW weld deposit: 16mm maximum

SMAW weld deposit: 18.96mm maximum

You can, of course, limit your ranges of qualification to less than the Table QW-451.1 permitted ranges but cannot exceed them without additional qualification. So, yes, you can choose to restrict base metal thickness range to 13.1mm to 26.2mm since it is within the maximum permissible range. Likewise, you can also restrict the maximum deposit thickness to 14mm for GTAW and 18.5mm for SMAW since they are less than the maximums of 16mm and 18.96 respectively.

Note: if impact qualification is required, additional restrictions apply.

Enjoy!

Subject: [MW:29753] As per Section IX Thickness range qualification

Dear Experts,

I have some difficulty to interpret the requirements of ASME section IX

I have a PQR Based on a dual process GTAW+SMAW ( 8 mm+9.48 mm) on an 17.48 mm ( 24" NPS ) butt weld.

If i am use this PQR what would be my thickness range in WPS a) Weld metal thickness range for GTAW + SMAW ? b) And what is the base metal thickness range ?

If i set in WPS base metal thickness 13.1 mm to 26.2 mm is it ok / If no than please let me know way i can't set this range.

And weld metal thickness range for GTAW - 14 mm and SMAW - 18.5 mm .

Please give with details explanation regarding my above difficulty.

Thanks and Regards

Kiran

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

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

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...
