Re: Atención valide origen![MW:30160] Fwd: Nozzle crack propagation

Dear sir, 

I may feel crack due to 🔨 hammer or I. Proper handling & propagate after heat. 

Regards

Hello

Initially, in my opinion there is not SS flange, but you can check, by using the devise for that.

This corrosion evidence indicate that the material isn´t SS.

According to the picture, the crack is far away from the weld. We can suppose that that the failure in not associated to the welding process, but the material quality.

Asunto: Atención valide origen![MW:30153] Fwd: Nozzle crack propagation

 

 

Dear All,

   Please find the attached snap, we found a crack circumferentially. The nozzle size is 6" and the material is SS.

 

  The following plant is under construction and the vessel erected around 1yr back. There is an argument that because of pipe loads that are not supported yet, it created tension and lead to crack.  Even I surprised that how a steel material started cracked like brittle for just for a few external loads. (This not the correct reason)

 

I clearly explained that any steel material that we design to be below the yield value. When the load beyond the ultimate limit it leads to fatigue and finally crack. This situation we can expect in operation if there is cyclic loading and the connected piping not supported properly. (which is an impossible situation).

 

 Finally, I suspect that 

 - the material of the nozzle is not SS. (Maybe zinc coated)

- (or) Because of  corrosion

- 

(or) during welding, it created a weaker section and started crack initiation for the external loads.

 

Experts kindly share your opinion and suggestions.

 

Thanks & Regards
