Re: [MW:35018] thickness of WELDOLETS

Hi,

I have  a WPS for 6Mo with BM range 12.04 mm wall thickness max. Now i have a situation to weld a 2" weldolet on a 6" run pipe. Now weldolet groove thickness is measured to be 13.9 mm on the hub side. However the theoretical thickness is 11.905 mm. Can I weld this using the same WPS??

Dear   The major problem with weldolets ia in procurement stage. The weld groove details, thk. are governed based on pressure rating of system.Many times high thk. weldolets are ordered even if not required as per design.MSS SP documents gives guidelines for weldolet dimensions and most of weldolet manufacturers pprepares weldlets with those details.   Correct way is to check required weld thk. at neck for proper weld thk. required.   Regards,   Manish Kulkarni  --- On Wed, 9/2/11, manpreet <manpre...@rediffmail.com> wrote:

Weldolet might be rquired for connecting main pipe to branch (let's say dissimilar OD/thickness), now qustion arises whether weld bevel shall be completely filled out, though B31.3 calculation might not require full volume of weld, good practice is to completely fillup the weld bevel to weld line on the O-lets. Smooth transition between the pipe and the O-lets is required. Notches below the weld line shall be avoided. Please descibe your query with quantitative information.

Now in weldolet fittings that have unequal thicknesses in both of ends. Tb is equal to thicker or thinner thickness?why? we need to know for calculating of governing thickness for PWHT. regards. -- To post to this group, send email to material...@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to materials-weld...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group's bolg at http://materials-welding.blogspot.com/ The views expressed/exchnaged in this group are members personel views and meant for educational purposes only, Users must take their own decisions w.r.t. applicable code/standard/contract documents. -- To post to this group, send email to material...@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to materials-weld...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group's bolg at http://materials-welding.blogspot.com/ The views expressed/exchnaged in this group are members personel views and meant for educational purposes only, Users must take their own decisions w.r.t. applicable code/standard/contract documents.
