Dear Experts, Can anyone explain to me regarding welding of a support pad on the outer surface of Tank Shell with inside full of water and what code we can refer for this activity or an old WPS we may follow which we used during the fabrication or another method we can use because inside water and we will weld against water hence it will affect the properties of material. My thinking is that the water would provide a heat sink that would cause severe quenching of the weld and cause cracking. if we do preheat that is also not possible because of water inside and we can't control the preheat upto desired criteria.

Dear expert,  Truly appreciate all the comments and advise.

I want to understand that the PMI was already done on the filler material applied to your component and I also assume that the chemical composition of the filler presented by your supplier obviously does so before the filler is applied, this is what I can understand about your case. I'm going to give my comment based on ASME, because that's what I know: (1) P + F = A where:  P (parental) refers to the P number or classification of the base material. F (filler) refers to the filler material, that is, your electrode. A refers to the material already applied to the component Then the PMI reading of your weld bead will never be the same as the chemical composition of your contribution, this is a fairly common error for not knowing and understanding the formula (1), that's what I can tell you based on what I could understand your problem, since for me it is not clear.

Dear Pravin, Normally PMI is performed for High alloy welding consumables to ensure that there is no mix up of consumable during welding and it is not an accurate method and tolerance is always allowed; PMI performed by below methods. 1. X-Ray Fluoroscopy 2. Optical Emission spectrometer 3. Atomic Emission spectrometer 4. Volumetric Analysis (Chemical Analysis). For carbon steel used for NACE service to ensure Nickel Kept within 1%, we control the issue of welding consumable from the stores. Only welding consumable containing 3.1/3.2 certificate batch Numbers are identified and electrode issue slip from the supervisor to stores will contain the batch Number. But your case seems to be special since carbon steel is not PMI tested but it is your client requirement and need to be complied. Moreover it is understood from your mail that you have performed Chemical Analysis (volumetric Analysis) at chemical lab which always gives accurate results. Below are considered the way forward for your...

Hi Pravin, What method was used, XRF or OES?  XRF will not reveal "C" and other lighter elements, "S", "P"… If you have doubtful results with one method , try other. Often the accuracy will depend on the equipment calibration, cleanliness , number of shots/reading taken and more..   Thanks.     Pradip Goswami.P.Eng, IWE.
