according to ASME SecI PW-33 is for evaluating misalignment of shells and vessels, and PW-34 is for evaluating misalignment of tubes and pipes. I want to know which part I can use for the weld between tube to header in harp of cobined cycle powerplant. PW-33 or PW-34?
we had a mistake in drilling one hole in a header of a harp (hrsg boiler).
we want to build up the wrong hole by welding and again drill another hole in proximity of repaired area.
Is it permitted or prohibited according to ASME SecI or any other technical codes?
If it is permitted , is there...

During the checking of pipe thickness(A106)by ultrasonic thickness instrument, I found some spots(just some spots in the whole pipe) which where under minimum allowable thickness(12.5%). What shall we do in this case as far as we purchase so many pipes from china?
We have a joint between two dissimilar thicknesses that attach a pipe to an end plate. According to the attachment drawing,thickness of the end plate is 40mm (50mm in the attachment point)and the thickness of the end plate in another direction is 20mm. Which thickness shall be considered in PQR?
AWs D1.6 is designed for sheet stainless steels of more than 2mm. Which standard should we use to weld 1.5mm stainless steel sheets? in table 4.2.B of AWS D1.6 minimum qualified thickness is 3mm! so what should we do about the lesser thicknesses?
Can we use pqr of CJP V groove type for other groove type(e.g double V- groove or single bevel and... ( square- groove is excluded)) in WPS of CJP groove welds ?
Hi,
After welding P91 steel (P No. 5B), we perform post heat treatment at 300 deg.C for 4hr and then PWHT at 745deg.C for 2hr. If we perform PWHT exactly after welding (without any delay), post heat is required or not?
Why shall we perform post heat treatment?
