[MW:31471] Re: Suitability for wps

By Materials & Welding
Dear Mr Krishnan, 
Are you sure about the table 6.19 in D1.1 ed2020, because i have attached a copy the list of tables from my d1.1 copy ed2020. There is no such table 6.19.

ear Chris,

In AWS D1.1 , Position is an essential variable for PQR(WPS). According to Table 6.1(of Ed 2020, Or in Table 4.1 of Ed 2015 ) , a PQR qualified in 2G will qualify for only F&H position and 3G  only for Vertical Position (Refer Table 6.19 of  Ed 2020).And hence you may need PQRs separately. Supplementary Impact test coupons may be prepared if you haven't  performed  Impact Test ( If you comply with all essential variables listed in Table 6.5 and Supplementary essential variables listed in table Table 6.7 of Ed 2020 ) to support existing PQR (refer Clause 6.26.3 of Ed 2020).

And  I think you were confused with Clause of AWS D1.1 Ed 2015 or earlier, Stated in Table 4.6 (Supplementary Essential variables for CVN application):          A change in position to vertical up. A 3G vertical up test qualifies for all positions and vertical down. Its very important to understand this clause also.This doesn't mean that a PQR tested in 3G position will qualify for all positions.Its meant that You need not Impact test (supplementary coupon) for a 2G PQR, If You have a PQR in 3G With Impact Tested Results provided, all Essential And Supplementary essential variables remains the same for Both PQR.ie You may use 2G PQR for Impact Applications even if You did not performed Impact test with help of 3G PQR .However even in Earlier editions of AWS D1.1 Production Positions qualified remains the same as that of Previous Paragraph.

Thanks & Regards

Hi friends

I have made a wps in 3g as per AWS d1.1 , I was under the impression that if I qualify in 3g it will automatically be qualified for flat and horizontal.But it seems there is a code restriction for this and I can weld only 3g for production welds.
My doubt is if i make one more test coupon in 2g for the same wps and get it qualified will it work??
Or should I need to create a new wps jus for this 2g position ??

Thanks in advance
Chris

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, ...
