Why do you use P22 nozzles on CS?

Dear Sirs ,

 

We have a project with both shell and Reinforcement Pad materials SA516-70, 10 mm Thk ( P No.1 ) and the Nozzle is SA335-P22, 4" Sch 120 , 

11.1 mm ( P No.5A ) Thk.

 We already have a qualified WPS & PQR with 8mm GTAW and tested about 10 years ago by other welding engineer, for P No,.5A to P No.1 without PWHT and it was satisfactorily passed and we 

have used that WPS & PQR for the previous project 10 years ago and no 

issues found without PWHT.

 Now for the new project, we are going to use the same WPS and apply 

Preheat ( 204 to 250 Deg C ) as per the WPS for 10mm Shell Thk by 

multipass welding, refer to the below sketches.

So, i would like to confirm whether PWHT is mandatory as per UCS-56-4 ?

Can we avoid PWHT for this 10mm weld joint ?


Or Should we do buttering with ERNiCr-3 on P No.5A bevel and butt weld 

with same filler for this dissimilar joint to avoid PWHT after making new 

PQR with buttering?


Please confirm soon.


Thanks and Regards,

Saravanan Sornam,

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, ...
