Product Form

Product Form

Product Form

(OP)
I'm using TP316 welded pipe to construct the cylindrical portion of a vessel. Quick question:
Assuming all notes have been met for the material, am I limited to the stress values for the product form of wld. pipe? Or can I use the stress values under the product form of Smls & wld. pipe?

RE: Product Form

anolan23, if the notes are met, or if pipe actually IS seamless, seamless allowables may be used. But, caution, Note W14, if welded w/o filler, you revert to welded stresses (0.85 factor), if welded with filler, pipe must be full x-rayed (E = 1.0).

Regards,

Mike

The problem with sloppy work is that the supply FAR EXCEEDS the demand

But can my welded pipe use stress values under product form that is Smls & wld. pipe?

RE: Product Form

What is the material specification of the TP316 stainless steel? Once you know this, go to Section II, Part D and find the stress line for the welded pipe product form AND review all notes in the stress line.

RE: Product Form

anolan23, was your pipe welded with or without filler metal?

If without, you may use seamless stresses multiplied by 0.85.

If with, and full x-rayed per UW-12, you may use seamless stresses multiplied by 1.0.

RE: Product Form

I have:
Welded Pipe

From Section II some of the product forms available are:
Wld Pipe
Smls Pipe
Smls & Wld Pipe

I obviously can use the line where the product form is wld pipe. Can I use the line for Smls & Wld Pipe?

RE: Product Form

Not unless the ASME material specification permits use in the scope. For example, you have an ASME material specification for seamless and welded pipe versus a material specification for only welded pipe. Once agin, what is your material specification, if you even have one?

RE: Product Form

anolan23, are you able to determine whether your pipe was welded WITH or WITHOUT filler metal?

And YES, what specification is it?

WHAT is your Code of constructionn?
