Re: [MW:34533] Tensile re-test specimen requirement as per API 5L 46th Edition. Cl - 10.2.12.2 (b)

Just to add.

From the below it is self explanatory.


You can understand about the reheat coil below and many Pipes are produced from the Reheat Slab depending on the type of forming and heat treatment as below.

According to my Interpretation,

1. Mother Coil is the initial Billet/Slab obtained from one Heat of the Furnace.
2. If  2 Heat Niumber (or 2 different rejeated slabs confirmed with Pipe Mill)  exists the word should may be considered as shall else same Heat shall be used for testing.

Thanks & Regards

Hi Experts,

Need your advise on the interpretation of statement referred in Cl - 10.2.12.2 (b) of API 5L 46th edition for tensile retest of Gr. X65M SAWL line pipe. 

The statement of this clause which I am looking for your advise is - 'the retest specimen should be taken from two different mother coils or plate, as applicable' 

Below are the queries on this statement :
1. For the word 'should' referred in this statement. Since as per API 5L terms, 'should' refers to recommended practice & does not make it mandatory to manufacturer to comply. 

2. The term referred as 'mother Coils or plate'. Since specification doesn't referring  the term as 'Mother Coils or Mother Plate' , I can consider the other daughter plates from mother plates to take retest samples. 

My interpretation on the statement is - 
'It is not mandatory for the manufacturer to take the retest sample from the two different mother plates. He can take retest samples from the other daughter plates of same mother plates from which initial  tensile test specimen was taken '.

Requesting experts to advise on the interpretation of above statement and opinion about my interpretation.

With regards,
Pravin Mohite

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, ...
