Re: [MW:33760] Orifice Flange and run pipe mismatch

I recommend you machine the neck of the flange and take it to the same size, the neck will be shorter but thicker.

Hi dear

This shows people's and quality systems to be evaluated and improved, 

Responsibility matrix should be aligned with quality systems

For the findings 


In general this kind of joint not acceptable because of welding, weld joint NDT, stress, corrosion, piping, instrumentation point of view also 


for the worst condition 

Below teams shall be involved to discussed about how to over come 
Welding
Piping
Instrumentation
Corrosion
Stress

Dear Experts,

Greetings to all of you.

We got a situation in the project where the following observation has been found.

1. pipe - CS 10" dia.
2. orifice flange SS - 10" dia. - Flange has a long protrusion of the neck towards the bevel end that gets inside the pipe. see attached picture - red mark is where the pipe ends landed.

The joint has been welded with the result as shown in the picture below.

The decision is to weld the pipe despite the overlap. The production proceeded the welding activity without trimming the flange end (by machining or grinding as we suggested) to meet the same surface level of the run pipe. After welding the joint went thru RT and passed the test. 

We consulted the design engineer for this reason but no concrete decision was made so the client production team gave final disposition to proceed with welding.

I would appreciate your thoughts on this matter. What do you think? what would be your recommendation? what problem do you think this would bring in the plant operation? did you ever encounter the same issue before? if so, what did you do? if not, what would you have done differently?

Best Regards,

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, ...
