Re: [MW:29831] Regarding PWHT as per B31.3 and B31.1

By Materials & Welding
Greetings,

I hope youre into power generations, where you touch, boilers, power and process...

Find my reply below in green, rest acceptable..

( As per my knowledge  1) PWHT temperature for ASME P number 04 material is different from ASME B31.3 (process) : range 704-746°C to ASME B31.1 (Power) : range 650-700°C.)

Reply:  I have 2016, 31.3 vs 12, 31.1, which does not has this major difference for P no 4,  to be precise (.3) comes with 650 to 705, where as (.1) with 650 to 700, which is acceptable. there are other P nos which has more than 5 Deg variations, which is not your case.

Below I have given some WPS parameters for PWHT, please clarify me whether the parameters are correct or Not. 

According to B31.3 -

Material : ASTM A 335 P11 to ASTM A 335 P11 - ( PNo-4; G.No-1 to PNo-4; G.No-1 )
Process : GTAW
Test coupon Thickness :  19.05 mm

Reply: why do you go with full GTAW for 19.05??

PWHT- Temp range - 690°C- 705°C

Reply: 690 is ok

Heating range : 200°C/hr
Cooling range : 200°C/hr
Interpass temp : 315°C  
Post Heating : 300°C -350°C ; holding thickness 10mm to 20mm -30 min / 20mm to 30mm - 90min.

Reply: i made something like this and approved, A minimum of 25% of the groove weld is filled, the weldment is sufficiently supported with Post heating gradually increasing as per the WPS requirement 400 deg C  at 2 hours after the welding completion, the bottom line is started after 25% with gradual fullfilled post heating after weld completion for continous 2 hours at 400 deg C.

And regarding Backing -  PQR is qualified with Argon, can we use Nitrogen in WPS.

Reply: read QW-408.2.

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, ...
