Re: [MW:32526] PQR-Qualified in Duplex Stainless Steel UNS-31803 / WPS-UNS-32750

There are certain points to be considered.

1. Though both UNS-31803 & 32750 falls under same P-No: 10H / 1 but their UTS values are different. UNS 31803 welded using consumable ER 2209 which produces a UTS value of 90ksi whereas UNS32750 shall be welded with a consumable which has a UTS valiue of 120Ksi and hence preferred ER2594.

2. ASTM G48 tests are mandatory to ascertain its suitability to service, UNS31803 tested at temperature of 25degC whereas UNS 32750 tested at  40dgeC and hence suitable welding consumable to be selected.

3. Generally welds are considered anodic when compared with the Basemetal due to its area and corrosion are localized in welds. UNS 31803 has a PREN value of 34 whereas UNS 32760 has a PREN value of 40 due to its high alloy elements.

4. Moreover for Duplex and superduplex stainless steels are governed by various Clients specifications which will be more demanding and will not permit.

Hence WPS for UNS31803 cannot be used for UNS32750.

Hope our experts can add more points to clarify.

Thanks & Regards

Gents,
I need your kind reference comments to clarify regarding the separate WPS required for each UNS in P-10H qualification ..
If PQR qualified with UNS-31803 Duplex Stainless Steel.
WPS can be prepared with UNS-32750 Super Duplex Stainless ...

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...

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, ...
