Re: [MW:32753] Selection of Pigs For 30" Gas Pipeline

By Materials & Welding
For pigging you need min 5 D bends mostly in pipelines which require pigging 40 D bends are used in cross country pipe lines.

Dear Experts,

Hope everyone is doing great.

In a cross country gas pipeline project over a bridge deck we have almost completed ou welding activities and right now we are facing problem in selection of Pigs for that pipeline. For your information, the pipeline is about approximately 6 Km in length consisting of  14 nos U-loop and 06 Nos W-loop and 01 nos inlet and 01 nos outlet loops. Outer Dia of Pipeline is about 762 mm with a wall thickness of 25.4 mm.

The elbows in the loops are 1.5D 90 Degree LR BW elbows.

The entire pipeline has some pipe miter joints included but the angle of miter falls between the range of 2.5 Degree to  5 Degree.

 The normal pigs we use for our cross country pipeline having 3D & 5D Bends are not suitable here.

As I have limited knowledge on pigging, hope some expert comment can help me to select the appropriate pig and finalize procurement for my project in Bangladesh.


With best regards,
Asif

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:34105] SA266 GR4N 4 Cycle SPWHT

By Materials & Welding
Hi,  You are correct, Minimum refers to the one cycle for which this part will expose until final work shop PWHT. hence mill test certificate shall include this.  Max. SPWHT, refers to additional cycles of heat treatment that are reserved for future repairs during equipment lifetime.  Again, these simulated no. Of cycles shall be specified in MTC.  The idea is we need to make sure that steel mechanical properties are not compromised upon exposure to multiple repairs (i e 4 cycles in your case).  One could say, if steel is subjected to 4 cycles and is ok, then it should by defacto be good for one cycle, yet, this is wrong assumption cause mechanical problems and microstructure of materials varies accordingly based on no. Of cycles for which material will expose. This is apparent in alloy steel and especially for impact test values as an example.  In your case, this forged CS with properties before PWHT can be understood to be " as forged" condition (i.e. Wit...
