Re: [MW:31656] WPS DIAMETER CALCULATION.

By Materials & Welding
Greetings. I suggest leaving the diameter range blank. It does not need to be mentioned on a WPS per ASME IX. Reason being, if you happen to suggest, Let's just say, a diameter range of "UNLIMITED" on your WPS, and during production there is material in the form of pipe that meets the diameter range specified, but at the same time is less than or greater in thickness than what is allotted. The weldor could assume that he or she is in the right, due to staying within the diameter range specified, but failed to stay within the specified thickness range. The thickness range qualified takes precedents. The weldor, in most cases, will not know this and in doing so will fail to meet critical aspects of the WPS, unwittingly.
Example: WPS per ASME IX specified thickness range is 1/16" to 1/2". The specified diameter range is "UNLIMITED." During production, weldor, welds on 24" NPS x (SCH80) 1.219" Wall. The weldor will feel that he or she is in the right because of the fact that the diameter range is specified as "UNLIMITED." Can you see how this might be confusing and unknowingly cause an issue that results in the WPS not being followed correctly?  You might say to yourself, the persons following the qualified WPS should conform to the thickness range specified, but in my experience I've seen this scenario play out on more than one occasion. I personally leave this subject matter blank for any qualifying ASME IX WPS, and I always suggest this because of the very scenario that is mentioned above. I hope this makes sense to you, I don't know if I conveyed it correctly or not so that you may understand the point that I'm trying to make. Cheers.....

Dear Sir,

You can put Diameter : All in WPS because the diameter is non essential variable.

Also, for welding qualification as per ASME-9 QW-400 not QW-200 (since QW- 200 for welder qualification).


Thanks & Regards

Dear Experts,

Greetings of the day.

I have a doubt regarding the WPS preparation. 

I have prepared one PQR of GTAW+SMAW in P22 material of size 6 inch.


But in wps the qualified diameter what I should write as per asme sec 9 , qw-200.


Is this can qualified for all the diameter?
Should i need to write any diameter range in wps.


Even though the thickness range is 5 to 2T.

Experts please advise me.

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, ...
