Re: [MW:30668] Chemical analysis mentioning in WPS and PQR for hard facing overlay weld

Your TPI is right, read the Code:
(d) When a chemical composition is specified in the
WPS, chemical analysis specimens shall be removed at locations
specified in Figure QW-462.5(b) or Figure
QW-462.5(e). The chemical analysis shall be performed
in accordance with Figure QW-462.5(a) and shall be within
the range specified in the WPS. This chemical analysis
is not required when a chemical composition is not specified
on the WPS.
If you specify the chemical analysis in the WPS then you have to confirm by testing that you achieved what you have specified in the WPS.
So read the Code carefully otherwise you shoot on your own legs

Hard facing overlay welding
4 to 5mm welded and machined to 1.6mm. Found hardness and macro examination cleared

QW-216.4. It defines that chemical analysis nominally matching the weld deposit chemical analysis may be substituted to qualify the PQR. Can anyone explain this meaning?

Recently I have qualified hard facing weld overlay. In that during chemical analysis I have got C, Si, Mn, P, S, Cr, Mo, Ni, W, Fe and CO chemical elements. So actual attained chemical composition I have mentioned in PQR. During WPS preparation I have mentioned only nominal chemical elements i.e., Co, Cr, W, C only as explained in the QW-216.4.

But my TPI agency is opposing my prepared WPS. That they are telling to put all the elements in WPS. I have argued them that this is the nominal chemical elements important for hard facing. However I have tested in 1.6mm after weld to the machined surface. So Fe comes to 5 to 10%. However I have cleared the Macro and hardness examination.

Also I have previous done the same paremeter and same has been accepted by same TPI. This same also shown but they are rejecting this was signed on 2016 and based on client request only we accepted this.

Note: I have explained them this elements Cr,Co & W -All are very important in HF overlay welding. Cr- Increase the Corrosion resistance.Carbide formation of Cr,Co & W - It will increase the hardness value and wear resistance.

But although they are rejecting my request. Please clarify

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, ...

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...
