    Identical Heat Numbers from several MTR's

    Low sulfur steels which have < .005% S are readily available. If you specify S < .015% you can easily get S < .010%. If one has a heat analysis showing .003% S and it is true, there is no way that the same heat will have .015% S. Such disparity, would be indicative of major problems with the...

    Sec 9. Welder vs Weld Qual (t) Ranges. Qw-451.1 &amp; Qw403.6

    QW-403.6 is applicable to impact tested procedures. QW-451.1 pertains to your PQR. You will need to qualify your procedure for .012" to .024" on .012" thick base materials. Impact testing will not be required for such thin materials. Review ASME B31.3 or ASME VIII, as applicable. There is no...

    Surviving through turbulences

    Sometimes HR does not work for the companies best interest; it works for HR's perceived best interest. The greater the turnover, the greater their perceived need. Of course management must drink their Cool-Aid.

    Crack in flange side when weld Flange CuNi to Tee CuNi

    Is this a corner groove weld or a butt weld? Is the flange cast or forged? Is the crack in the HAZ or at the fusion line?

    Identical Heat Numbers from several MTR's

    You also need to address the requirements of the material Specification and whether one or both of the MTR's heat analyses was based on product analysis. Finally, was the MTR provided by the mill (steel manufacturer) or the Warehouse suppier, importer or exporter?

    Steps to Welders Qualification and Procedure Qualification process

    ifeanyi2013, Based on your query, you have shown no real knowledge of welding, welding procedure qualification, welder qualification or the construction/manufacturing Codes governing welding. You need further education and mentoring by experts in welding and the applicable...

    use of pqr without essential variable

    As weldtek is telling you, QW-408.5 - addition or deletion or a change in backing gas is a nonessential variable under QW-256 for the P No.8 base metals and A-8 filler metal involved.

    Best Stainless Steal for high temperatures and oxidative environment

    Fecralloy and Nicralloy have very high oxydation resistance at 1000C.

    SA156-70

    Temperature is too low for graphitization. Improper pulsing (pulse rate) can readily lead to subsurface porosity in pulsed transfer GMAW process.

    ASME BPVC sec IX welding procedure

    Assuming the weld filler metal is the same, you will need qualify 4 impact test coupons.

    PWHT for welded patch

    Very small patches can lock in considerable stress, which could prove detrimental in a particular service environment. There is no such problem with a relatively large patch properly tied in at the corners.

    ErNiCrMo3 Filler rods

    Not enough info; however, most 347H is used in a high temperature environment (generally > 1000F) and the selection of ERNiCrMo-3 would not be recommended, especially if service invoves thermal cycling.

    Maximum Chloride Content for test water

    Also agree with LittleInch and BigInch. Where fresh water is at a premium or essentially unobtainable, sea water and brackish water have often been used without damaging the pipe system. Colorado River Water can be over 1000 ppm Chloride.

    Maximum Chloride Content for test water

    You will not find it in B31.1, B31.3, B31.4, B31.8, etc. I have seen a number of Owner/Engr specs that limit chlorides to 500 ppm in hydrotest water for carbon and low alloy steel pipe systems.

    pressure test for piping according to ASME

    I trust that you are not hydrotesting 40 year old non-boiler external piping at the original test pressure.

    pressure test for piping according to ASME

    You are in the right thread. ASME B31.1 addresses Boiler External Piping (under ASME I) and requiring an Authorized Inspector and the Fabricator to hold a current PP or S Certificate of Authorization and acurrent contract with an Authorized Inspection Agency. It also addresses Non-boiler...

    aws welding engineer certification

    Technically you may meet the AWS requirements. The AWS CWEng will not hurt but I would consider your experience far more relevant in hiring you for a Welding engineering position. I would need more info regarding actual welding duties; e.g., have you written WPSs and had them qualified, for what...

    Pipe Material substitution

    Over 30 years ago, a major gas producer/transporter specified X42 for sour gas service. Because even then steel manufacturers were making steel on a "one size fits all" basis, they actually recieved X58 equivalent pipe and failed to meet hardness requirements in the HAZ of the long seam and the...
