[MW:31559] BIS Approved SS-316 Square Bar and Flat

By Materials & Welding

Dear All,

For one of our Saudi Aramco Project we need to source following material:-

 

ITEM

QTY

UNIT

SQUARE BAR 40MM (TOL +0.0/-0.4MM) SS-316/316L (Finish length 431 mm-01 no's, 1089 mm-02 no's.)

50

KGS

RECTANGULAR STRIP SIZE 76 X 25MM, SS-316/316L (Finish length 360 mm-06 no's , 210 mm-04 no's)

50

KGS

 

MTC as per EN 10204 3.1 minimum.

Material shall be annealed condition as applicable.

NACE MR-01-75 / ISO 15156 shall be complied.

Material shall be procured from Saudi Aramco approved vendor.

 

We have placed our order on UK supplier and now when material is ready we understand from our commercial department that BIS (Bureau of Indian Standard) approval is a must to import any material so we requested the supplier and got following response:-

 

"To obtain BIS approval is not that easy, it involves a complete audit in order to firstly obtain the BIS registration,

and then once we have obtained the approval we have to submit documents for each export order for approval.

 

This would take some weeks and would be costly."

 

Can anyone from their past experience suggest me how to come out of this situation….thanks in advance for your time and help.

 

Regards,

Vinod Kataria

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...
