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.

Dear Ali,

I really couldn't understand what you are asking for, but would like to detail some of the information about weldolet connection.

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.

Regards
Manpreet Singh

Dear All
According to ASME B31.3 fig328.5.4.D( SKETCH1) the thickness of weld deposit is calculated acc to 331.1.3.
Now in weldolet fittings that have unequal thicknesses in both of ends. T_bis equal to thicker or thinner thickness?why?
we need to know for calculating of governing thickness for PWHT.
regards.

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...
