(OP)
Following thread 292-128577, can I order SA-333 6 with fine grain practice? I know SA-333 6 can be normalized, however, didn't see anything on FGP or any reference to A-20, neither do I see any Aluminum on the Chemistry for SA-333 6. I guess I am trying to take advantage on Fig. UCS-66, Curve C, notes (2) to make the pipe itself IT/CVN exempted at -40 F, so I don't have to IT/CVN the weld (SA-333 6 to SA-516 70N) in the procedure, since both BM are exempted at -40 F?
Also, maybe a dumm Q, can I ask SA106 B be FGP and Normalized? Or I am really asking for SA-333?

Your SA-333-6 pipe does not need to be assigned to Curve C to take this exemption.

Thanks for the answer. So do I need to put grain size # >= 5 on the P.O.? Have you done that before? any cost factor vs. plain SA-333 6?

I read UCS-67(a) again, you're saying (a)(2) fits my case on base metal (so it would require IT), however, if the consumables are IT-ed at -40 F or below, then the weld don't need IT, am I right? you ever consulted this with AI?
any such wire/rod suggestions for helium-arc and stick rod?
really appreciated,

I have never consulted with AI, have just done it that way for years, no kick backs from anyone.
I cannot offer advice on consumables or processes, but your welding supplier can.

You can ask for fine grain practice and N&T for SA 106 material, but this will not change the impact requirements in Section VIII, Div 1 Figure UCS-66.
