Re: [MW:31885] Tubes expansion beyond drum thickness.

there is bulging immediate outside drum thickness, is it acceptable

20 % expansion - seems on higher side. Normal is @8-12 %
Advice -
Check thinning and find out tube thickness .
Check this much thk after thinning this much is acc to Engineering .

Dear experts,

We are executing a project for 35 TPH Natural Gas fired Auxiliary Boiler designed for max. working pressure of 60 kg/cm2 and steam temperature of 392 Deg .Cel.

All water tubes of boiler are connected to steam( 63 mm Thk) & Mud drum(40mm Thk) with expanded design of construction.

In mud drum it is observed that tubes ( 51X4 mm) are expanded upto 30mm more than the drum thickness and indicating as bulged. we have checked the OD at bulged part and observed 1-2 mm flared and thickness around 3.5 mm

Kindly advise weather it is acceptable or we have to replace the se tubes with reference to code. Code of construction is ASME Sec-1/IBR.

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...

The Schaeffler and Delong diagrams for predicting ferrite levels in austenitic stainless steel welds

Introduction Ferrite is important in avoiding hot cracking in during cooling from welding of austenitic stainless steels. 'Constitution diagrams' are used to predict ferrite levels from the composition by comparing the effects of austenite and ferrite stabilising elements. The Schaeffler and Delong diagrams are the original methods of predicting the phase balances in austenitic stainless steel welds. Nickel and chromium equivalents A 'nickel equivalent' is calculated for the austenite stabilising elements and a 'chromium equivalent' ferrite stabilising elements. These are used as the axes for the diagrams, which show the compositional equivalent areas where the phases austenite, ferrite, martensite (and mixtures of these) should be present. Although intended to show the phase balance of weld fillers, these diagrams can also be used to illustrate the phase balance of the 'parent' material. There are different diagrams for dif...
