Re: [MW:31458] B31.3 PWHT & Preheat Exemption

Dear Dr. Georgios Dilintas

Thanks for you valuable reply in perspective of preheat.

Thanks & Regards

Table 331.1.3 is granting an exemption for PNo1 BASED ON NOMINAL THICKNESS. Note 6 says that the nominal thickness is defined in 331.1.(c). Looking in this para the nominal thickness is the thickness of the thicker parts.
So if it is below 25 mm you dont need preheat to get exemption

Dear All,

Request Clarification on which thickness (Control thickness / Nominal thickness) to be applied in the B31.3 2014 -Table 331.1.3 for PWHT & Preheat exemption. Details furnished below.

Weld Joint Details:
Joint : Header Pipe to Weldolet
Weld Type: Integrally Reinforced Branch Connection (B31.3, Fig 3285.4)
Material: P.No 1
Header Pipe Size: NPS 16 , 12.7mm thick
Weldolet Size: NPS 16 x NPS 3 , sch 40
joint groove Thickness (At crotch of Header pipe & weldolet): 22mm
Nominal Thickness (Tm) As per B31.3, Fig 3285.4 : 22mm
Calculated Control Thickness (Tm+Tc): 28mm (22 + 6mm)

Based on above scenario, we had applied weldolet nominal material thickness Tm of 22mm (thicker member of the joint) on B31.3 Table 331.1.3 and not performed PWHT & preheat of 95 Deg C.

Whereas for PWHT exemption, Client is applying the control thickness of 28mm on B31.3 Table 331.1.3 and insisting us to perform PWHT on the joint due to 95 Deg C preheat not applied.

In my opinion, nominal Thickness to be applied for PWHT exemption and control thickness to applied for calculating Minimum PWHT holding time.

Please advice and enlighten further, whether PWHT is mandatory for the above specified weld joint.

Thanks & Regards
Nazeer

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...
