One of thought is Nitrogen Purging  in the HEX tubes during PWHT of Shell  to Tube sheet , Tube sheet  to  Channel joints 
Can any one throw light on Nitrogen purging system and its effectiveness ?How it is done / system in market ?
This will keep DSS HEX tubes cool (< 300 Deg C) and serve the purpose 

Thanks and regards

Dear Experts 
One of HEX involves  following MOCs -
HEX tubes - SA 789 TYP 32205 
Tubesheet -SA 266 CL 2 CS - Tube sheet IS cladded with TYP S32205  overlay.
Shell side - CS -SA 516 GR 70 - 75mm thk 
Channel side - CS- SA 516 GR 70 - 75 mm thk 
PWHT is required for  Tube sheet to Shell welding and Tube sheet to Channel welding. These are butt welds with CS Weld metal .
PWHT is not required for  Tube sheet to HEX Tube  welding due to DSS tube to DSS cladding.

Pl advice for the  care that shall be taken during PWHT  of Tube sheet to Shell welding and Tube sheet to Channel welding.

Thanks and regards

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...

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...
