Re: [MW:31164] Approved WPS in 5G position but production joints want to do in 6G/2G position with this Approved wps

By Materials & Welding
Dear harish,

Yes, it's very clear in API1104. There are only 2 positions in API, which is fixed and rolled. And in each one of these positions you can keep the pipe in horizontal (5G) or vertical (2G) or inclined (6G). Rolling position is used only in mechanized welding. 

Remember these are the names we call it. API does not recognize 5G and 2G. If you keep in any one of those positions, then that wps can be used in any position as fixed position. 

Eg. If you made the WPS as 5G. Then it will be read as fixed position 5G. With that said, we can look at your query. You have approved a wps for 5G position. 

Now look at welder qualification  cause 6.2.2.f here position means a different thing. It is a change from fixed to rolled or a change from vertical to horizontal. So it means that welder is only qualified for the position he welds. However there is a way out. If a welder is making butt weld in fixed position in 6G then he can weld all the "welder position" mentioned above in both fixed and rolled, vertical and horizontal , butt and fillet. 

That is real time and money saved. 

Hope you understand my explanation.

Regards,

Charles

Dear all experts,

With reference to the above subject,I have Approved WPS in 5G position but I want to use this WPS for WQT which is  in 6G position,(Gas pipeline,API1104 specifications)
Can I do??

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, ...
