Re: [MW:34898] Re: 14478] QW-403.6 OF ASME SEC. IX (MIN. THK. RANGE QUALIFICATION)

u can not. 403. 6 restrict on base metal thickness.  base metal thickness is 25mm which is 16mm to 50mm max. since u have done combination of process,  u cannot,  if u have done each single process,  then u can combine. weldmetal thickness is not creteria for impact, only base metal which affected by cooling rate which changes the Microstructure.

Dear all,

I have a question:

We currently have a Welding Procedure Specification (WPS) and Procedure Qualification Record (PQR) for welding a 25mm plate using a combination of Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW) and Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW), with impact testing conducted. The weld metal deposited by GTAW is 5mm, and SMAW is 20mm.

Now, if I only intend to use the SMAW process for welding 8mm and 15mm thick plates, both requiring impact testing, would our existing WPS still qualify for this welding scenario?

Minimum thickness is 6mm.

 

QW-403.6 says ". . . where T is less than 6mm, the minimum thickness qualified is 1/2T . . ." .   Since your thickness is not less than the general rule of T to 2T applies.

 

Note this wording has also given me heart burn.  What I have done is to take a 1/4 inch plate (nominally 6mm) and have the thickness machined to 0.249 inches, this then qualifies for thickness 0.124 to 0.499 inches.  If I need the thickness I will also weld a 1/2 inch thick plate to qualify 1/2 to 1 inch. 

 

Enjoy.

Subject: [MW:14478] QW-403.6 OF ASME SEC. IX (MIN. THK. RANGE QUALIFICATION)

 

Dear Experts,

 

What shall be the minm. qualified thk. range if PQR is qualified with 6 mm. Nom. thk. with Notch toughness properties. Will it be 3 mm. or 6 mm. as per QW-403.6 of ASME Sec. IX?

 

Further, suppose If I shall qualify this procedure on 5 mm. thk. PQR test coupon (machined from 6 mm. thk.), which thickness shall I have to consider for temperature reduction during subsize test specimen testing? Will it be 5 mm.(actual thk.) or 6 mm. (nom. thk.)?

 

Awaiting your experts' opinion at the earliest.

 

Thanks & regards,

 

 

C. R. GANDHI

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...

Re: [MW:10788] ON PLOT PIPING & OFF PLOT PIPING

By Materials & Welding
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, ...
