[MW:33913] Re: 33905] Min Weld throat thickness for Nippolet

By Materials & Welding
Hi Pradeep, 
 As per ASME B31.3 (2020) Figure 328.5.4F and para Figure 328.5.4 (c ) the minimum branch weld thickness Tm shall be as below
  1. As specified by the manufacturer of the branch connection fitting.
  2. The full depth of the resultant weld groove, after fit-up, if no manufacturer's weld thickness is specified.
  3. As documented and specified in the engineering design in accordance with para. 300(c)(3)
  4. Calculated and documented in accordance with the requirements of para. 304.7.2

 

Based on above cases, this needs to be confirmed by vendor,

But is there any other solution ? 
I was planning to do the re-inforcement calculation as per ASME B31.3. But I doubt this is applicable in case of selfreinforced fitting.

Hi,

Ideally the weld configuration should look as what's earmarked in the attachment. You may need to check the requirements of piping design code(presume B31.3) also. Use of such reinforced design, similar weldolets would  always involve larger welding volume, which may be  detrimental to an 1", sch 10 pipe.

Why such configuration is needed?

Alternative (better)  design would be to change the design to Sweep lets.

This my opinion from the aspects of better welding design. For SDSS, good welding design is essential.

Thanks

Subject: [MW:33905] Min Weld throat thickness for Nippolet

 

Hi, 

In ongoing project one of our fabricator proposed below

" Welding of 6''x3.4mm SDSS Run Pipe to 6X1''NB Sch 10S Reinforced Nippoflange, filling of full pre beveled groove will lead to run pipe deformation, contractor propose to fill the weld metal with main pipe wall thick plus 1/3, so the weld throat will be 6mm to 8mm instead of filling the full pre groove." 

 

My query is how can we govern the min weld thickness requirement?.

Or any other way to ensure integrity.

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...

The Schaeffler and Delong diagrams for predicting ferrite levels in austenitic stainless steel welds

By Materials & Welding
Introduction Ferrite is important in avoiding hot cracking in during cooling from welding of austenitic stainless steels. 'Constitution diagrams' are used to predict ferrite levels from the composition by comparing the effects of austenite and ferrite stabilising elements. The Schaeffler and Delong diagrams are the original methods of predicting the phase balances in austenitic stainless steel welds. Nickel and chromium equivalents A 'nickel equivalent' is calculated for the austenite stabilising elements and a 'chromium equivalent' ferrite stabilising elements. These are used as the axes for the diagrams, which show the compositional equivalent areas where the phases austenite, ferrite, martensite (and mixtures of these) should be present. Although intended to show the phase balance of weld fillers, these diagrams can also be used to illustrate the phase balance of the 'parent' material. There are different diagrams for dif...
