ASME P Numb SA36 vs CSA G20.1 44W
ASME P Numb SA36 vs CSA G20.1 44W
(OP)
Hi
I did a procedure qualification, here in Canada, P1-P1.
I used CSA G20.1 44W (low carbon steel) plate for my RMS.
The inspector said that 44W is not a P1 as ASME code. My metallurgical consultant said yes (he said to me to use that one).
1- Is there a place in the code where 44W is identified and accepted as a P1 material by ASME ? In my 2001 code, I don't find anything about this material (is it because it's canadian spec?)
2- If not, is it not the same as SA36 ? If it is the case, I'll change the material used on RMS and put SA36.
I can't argu anymore with this guy, he is so unskilled!!
(idiot question, take argu on unnecessary things, et...)
Thanks for your help

according to ASME Sec IX QW-422 Bottom of page no 110 this material(SA CSA G40.21 G 44W) have p no 1.
answer of question no.2:
the weld ability of SA36 is same but only engineering designer decide about alternative of this material according to stress analyse.

Does the MTR for the material in question meet the requirements of the specification to which it was made? ie...SA/CSA-G40.21 Gr.44W ......Including the marking requirements? I have found many times that the material cert was lacking or the material itself was improperly marked (not in accordance with the Material Spec.)and had to reject based solely on material cert.
