Re: [MW:30465] Re: Time between root pass and hot pass

If the qualification ( WPS) is done as per API 1104, Then it is essential variable. while doing procedure, it should be established. ref. API 1104, 5.3.2.10 and 5.4.2.8

Dear,

Even if it is mentioned in code, if it is not in WPS or the project specification, then you are not required to do it mandatory. An engineering query can be raised and this can be considered as interruption of welding. In such case, the following methods can be suggested.
1. Visual examination of root to check out for cracks
2.DPT to check for fine cracks open to surface.
3. Radiography to ensure no cracks inside.
Hope this helps.

would you please guide me that can we left the joints after hot pass and complete the joints next day.

Dear all,

We are doing 20" pipe line project with API 5L Gr.B material as per B31.4, Welding process SMAW (E6010 for root and rest with E 7018, both are up-hill) our welder welded one joint root pass and he kept this joint for long time. But our Qc instructed to cut and re-weld the joint. But the time between root pass and hot pass not mentioned in approved WPS and client specification also.

It necessary to cut and re-weld?

It is mentioned any were in the code (ASME or API)?

Please help me,,

Best Regards

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...
