Re: [MW:31500] Re: ASME BPV Sec VIII div1 , UCS-68(b) - PWHT requirements

By Materials & Welding
Since the Code is specifically indicated exemption only  for Category A and B joints. ( I checked for ASME INTREPRATION sheet not found any specific on this query).
Hence , this does not give provisions to take exemption credit for other categories which doesn't indicated in the code specifically. 

Plz provide if u have any latest interpretation if any for further discussion.

Subject: [MW:31500] Re: ASME BPV Sec VIII div1 , UCS-68(b) - PWHT requirements

If a weld joint has a coincident ratio higher then 0,35 then the same need to be PWHT with the following exemptions from PWHT (even if coincident ratio is higher than 0.35):   
Category A and B joints which respect the condition indicated in UCS-68(b)(1) - e.g. 100%RT.
Lightly loaded attachments (<25% stress value) which respect the condition indicated in UCS-68(b)(2)(-a) 
Seal welds (tube to tube sheet)

 It does not exempt from PWHT the category "C" and "D" joints , and fillet welds (except as defined as "lightly loaded attachments"

Can you please provide your interpretation for the following requirements of UCS-68(b)
Vessel MDMT - 48 °C , PWHT - not required

In accordance with para UCS-68(b) PWHT is required except for Category A and B joints with 100% RT, lightly loaded attachments and seal welds only.
and it is silent on category C , D welds and other attachments.

Question: does this mean PWHT is required for Category C and D, even though it is exempted for Category A and B welds? then vessel will undergo local PWHT
In my opinion we should not interpret this way and look for only what is code specifies (i.e. if Category A and B or other welds as specified is exempted entire vessel is exempted)

Re: [MW:34105] SA266 GR4N 4 Cycle SPWHT

By Materials & Welding
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

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...
