The job is a cryogenic tank and require impact testing @ -196.c
what is the minimum requirements for the charpy results?? and is there any need

RE: impact testing of stainless steel welds

gazweld,
You would be better off posting in ASME (for assistance with piping) or CEN/ECN (for assistance with European standards).
AWS is for Structural works, not pressure piping,
Cheers,

RE: impact testing of stainless steel welds

Check your specifications, but more than likely you will need to meet 27 joules in base, weld and HAZ at -196C/-320f. Also, for low temperature service you will want to use filler with a lower ferrite content, i.e., <5% to avoid the ferrite going through a brittle transition, the austenite matrix will remain ductile.
