Re: [MW:34917] Applicability of Impact requirement as per ASME B31.3

Dear Vinit,

For the applicability of PQR impact requirements based on the provided details, we need to refer to the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (BPVC) Section IX, which covers welding qualifications.

Since you're dealing with welding and materials in the context of ASME BPVC Section IX, the specific clause relevant to your scenario would be Clause QW-402.2. This clause outlines the impact test requirements for procedure qualification.

Based on the information provided:

Material: SA 333Gr6 (P No.1 Gr. 1) to SA 350-LF2 (P No.1 Gr. 2)
Thickness range: 5.54mm (Minimum) - 9.53mm (Maximum)
PWHT: Nil
MDMT: -45 Deg Cel.

Given these details, you would need to assess if impact testing is required for the welding procedure qualification. The decision would depend on factors such as the material specification, thickness, service conditions, and design requirements.

According to ASME BPVC Section IX, if the design temperature is equal to or colder than the Minimum Design Metal Temperature (MDMT) of the material, impact testing may be required. In your case, the MDMT is -45 Deg Cel., and since the design temperature is not mentioned, it's essential to evaluate whether it's equal to or colder than -45 Deg Cel.

Furthermore, Clause QW-403.6 provides exemptions from impact testing for certain materials, thicknesses, and service conditions. It's crucial to review this clause to see if any exemptions apply to your specific scenario.

Ultimately, the applicability of PQR impact requirements would depend on a detailed assessment of the specific welding procedure, material properties, thicknesses, and design conditions, in accordance with the ASME BPVC Section IX.

Re: [MW:34105] SA266 GR4N 4 Cycle SPWHT

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

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...
