after hydro testing of pipeline , de-wattering and drying what is the required dew point value ? and what is the reference standard?
pipeline construction according ASME B31.8 for gas transportation.
BIgInch thanks for reply : the welder and welding procedure are qualified and tested.
We observe during welding that the fusion of base metal (old material side) is going faster than the new material, it seem that the characteristic (weld-ability ) of old material changed
- pipe line 6"
-...
during repair of pipeline the welding of new part to the old one failed and many defects observed ( specially the root undercut and lack of fusion), how avoid such things?
