Re: [MW:31887] Tubes expansion beyond drum thickness.

Please refer to literature on boiler tube expansion on www.venus- boiler. com

Any reference for expansion beyond drum thickness is not acceptable as per ASME Standards/IBR.


This is specifically mentioned in TEMA that expansion length shall be the tubesheet/drum thickness minus 1/8" (3.2 mm) and no expansion of tubes beyond drum/tubesheet thickness is acceptable.

However these standards are being followed for Heat exchangers (Heaters, condensers, coolers & re-boilers) only and our boiler is designed as per ASME Sec-1 and IBR.

Expanded beyond shell thickness is not acceptable. There will be a notch formation on tube at edge of shell. Tubes are likely to be sheared at this point.

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.

Re: [MW:10788] ON PLOT PIPING & OFF PLOT PIPING

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, ...

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...
