Re: [MW:34447] Clarification regarding T,K,Y JOINTS WELDING

The answer is No.

Know the differences between their bevel preparations. Hope the following will help you understand them:

· The difference between the 6G and 6GR positions is the restriction ring and the bevel preparation. 6G is prepared

as a single 'vee' at 45 degrees position with the horizontal plane, while the 6GR bevel preparation is a single bevel

and the two connecting pipes have different thicknesses, one is thicker by at least 4-6mm.

· What differentiates the 6G from the 6GR?

· Firstly, the difference between both is the R in the 6GR. The letter R indicates that 6GR welding consists of a restricting

ring. Another difference between the 6G and 6GR is the bevel preparation. Bevel preparation is a procedure done to

prepare the metal before one can start welding. The welder cuts a slope at a specific angle on the metal, particularly at

the edge.

· If you are familiar with the 6G and 6GR test positions, you will understand how important both are when welding pipe and

tubular structures.

· Now let's look at what the 6G and 6GR positions imply to help broaden our understanding of how they differ.

· What's the 6G all about?

· Firstly, the 6G position is the type whereby your tubular weld joint has to be included at an angle of 45 degrees. It's a difficult

test to pass, though not impossible.

· What is the 6GR all about?

· 6GR turns out to be more challenging, you will find a restriction plate wrapped around the pipe's circumference here. This plate

restricts the angle of the filler metal or electrode. And as a consequence of this restriction, welding becomes more challenging

than it should be.

· So, when you find a 6GR welder, know that the said individual has successfully overcome the obstacle in this test piece and

welded it perfectly to have gotten that certification. The R means there's an obstacle to overcome.

· Further, another notable difference is that obtaining the 6G certificate qualifies a welder to weld pipe butt in all positions. On the

other hand, obtaining the 6GR certification means the welder is qualified to weld structural TKY connections.

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, ...
