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

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...

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

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, ...
