influence of pressure on NACE compliance

influence of pressure on NACE compliance

influence of pressure on NACE compliance

(OP)
Hi all,

We placed the order to procure down hole equipment (Drilling)and one our requirement is material 13% Cr shall be in compliance with NACE MR-0175.
Now our supplierhas come up with clarification that since burst pressure (design rating) is 8000 psi, NACE MR-0175 compliance cannot be met. I have gone through NACE MR-0175; bit, I was not able to get any info related to burst pressure influence on NACE compliance. Is there any correlation ??

Regards

RE: influence of pressure on NACE compliance

Perhaps the burst pressure requires the product to have a strength higher than 22 HRC, which is the maximum allowed by NACE MR0175/ISO 15156.

Thnaks corypad,

But our standard restricts hardness values for 13%Cr material to 22 HRC max.

RE: influence of pressure on NACE compliance

Yes your standard restricts the hardness to 22 HRC so that the material is in conformance with NACE MR0175/ISO 15156. However, perhaps the wall thickness of this part is too thin and requires a material strength above 22 HRC to prevent bursting. Hence, the supplier stating that the material will not conform to NACE MR0175/ISO 15156.

RE: influence of pressure on NACE compliance

If you can't develop the required material strength due to the hardness limit, and you can't increase material thickness to handle the stress, then it won't work.

RE: influence of pressure on NACE compliance

What partial pressure of H2S have you informed the supplier to work with? It could be that, if you have only given them an H2S concentration, they are simply deriving an H2S partial pressure using the burst pressure rating and finding that it exceeds the allowable limit. If that is the case, you need to advise them of the (realistic process) design pressure to compute the partial pressure.

Can you tell us the part description?
