    P92 material mechanical and creep properties

    I am trying to establish pressure temperature chart for P92 / F92 material. This material has been in use for more than a decate but not listed under ASME Section II Part D, ASME B31.1 or ASME B31.3. Please let me know if there is any publication for P92/F92 material which lists the yield...

    High Temperature limit of the ASTM A193 and A194

    Which piping code specifies the high temeperature limt of the following most common used bolting materials? (For valves to be used in ASME B31.3) ASTM A193 B7, B7M, B8, B8M, B16 .. ASTM A194 Grade 4, 7, 8, 8M, .. Thanks

    High Mn content on ASTM A351-2003 grade CD4MCu

    I have received a valve casting per ASTM A351-2003 grade CD4MCu. I performed Positive Identfication Inspection (PMI) and found all the elements meets the ASTM specification with exception of Mn%. Instead of max 1% Mn material that I received has Mn 1.5 % - 2%. Manganise should improve the...

    Why A182 F6 (410 - 13%Cr) material ins not in ASME B16.34

    I wondering why ASTM A182 F6 or A276/A479 Grade 410 material is not included in ASME B16.34 material list. 410 grade material has been used as stem material (Stem is also pressire retaining part) Thanks

    Tolerance on Mechanical (Tensile/Yield) Product of WCB test results

    Dear Swall I want to review as many as possible technical documentation about this subject so that I can come up with a reasonable solution (technically sound) for both the foundry and for me and for my customers. Otherwise foundry would tell me it is OK as it is , end-user will require to meet...

    Tolerance on Mechanical (Tensile/Yield) Product of WCB test results

    I am performing standard tensile test per A370 ASTM A703 stated product testing acceptance criteria shall be agreed between manufacturer and customer, but no tolerance is given.

    Tolerance on Mechanical (Tensile/Yield) Product of WCB test results

    I have been performing mechanical test on speciments from the actual product to verify mechanical properties of WCB cast parts. About 50% percent of the test results were lower than ASTM A216 WCB requirements. (within 10%) I tested the foundry samples for the same heats and found all of them...

    1000F temperature limit on flanged valves per ASME B16.34

    Nozzle Twister I have talked some of the ASME B16 members and they believe 1000F limitation on some flanged materials are a editorial mistake. This limitation only applies to Class 150 flanges. (As you stated). I think you should review your 1200 F to 1400 F FCC unit valves. 1)If the valves are...

    1000F temperature limit on flanged valves per ASME B16.34

    dave but ASME B16.5 does not have the same limitation for the same material group.I think thermal cycling would have the same affect on any equipment.

    1000F temperature limit on flanged valves per ASME B16.34

    I was wondering why there is 1000 F temperature limit on ASME B16.34 for flanged end-connections, but ASME B16.5 does not have 1000F temperature limitation. (Please see foot note on the material tables. Example material group 1.16) Thanks

    Isothermal compressibility & volume expansitivity

    I am trying to calculate the pressure increase due to temperature increase of a fluid which is trapped in the pipiline under temerature increase. I know the P1 and T1, T2 and thermal expansion ratio of the fluid. Please let me know how to calculate the P2 Thanks

    What factor should we consider about ball valve?

    Commissioning means new pipeline, which has not only debris from the gas but also metal weld wire, weld debris, mud, stone from the pipeline fabrication. Recommmendation to prevent seat leakage due to debris during commisioning; Keep the valve in open position Apply proper grease to the gap...

    What factor should we consider about ball valve?

    Usually other required cerification review, an ISO 9001 audit will give a good idea of the supplier. As you mentioned, the design of the ball valves look similiar to each other, small details makes big difference on how the valve is going to perform. ( combination of material, design and...
