    Can somebody help me define a fusion arc welding code, WBS 5018?

    Thanks I didn’t realize it was customer specific. I don’t have the spec but I see it comes up a bit. Any major difference than AWS?

    A-36 Cold Weather

    Correct - with a small adjustment. Supplier (me) is "Stack Engineering / Manufacturing / Fabricating". i.e we are not just a steel supplier. Customer 2 will purchase an Engineered Stack from me and we will deliver it to Customer 1 / 2 at the job site.

    A-36 Cold Weather

    Thanks all for chiming in. I've never been to this site and great support. Our customer, a boiler manufacture, sold an "A-36" exhaust stack as part of their package to their customer, a Canadian petrochemical company. This boiler supplier offered a higher grade material for the stack but that...

    Thanks for the replies. ASME STS 1 Steel Stacks is what governs stack designs and they don’t address cold weather material selection or what temperature charpy testing is recommended.

    A-36 Cold Weather

    ASME STS - 1 Steel Stacks does not address this issue. There is a requirement from the client to charpy test lifting lugs and weld procedures at -46C. Correct the client specifies a minimum design temperature of -46C and A-36 materials. It still comes down to 1) Is A-36 an acceptable material...

    A-36 Cold Weather

    Don't know if this should be in the Structural Engineer or Materials section. The project is a self supporting stack that would be behind a natural gas fired boiler. We always use A-36 material but are aware of brittleness at low temperatures. Is there a general "rule" when to switch to a...
