Hi All
I am looking for some software which can ease my work for report making.
After inspection we are generating separate reports like UT, LPI , MPI, Hardness , PMI ( Positive material Inentification ) , Weld Sheet.
Currently we are working in Excel and every time we have to do the entry...
Hi to all
Well i just need a clear clarification regarding below situation
Case 1- I have a WPS which is P1 G1 and qualified with P43 Gr. Unassigned
Case 2- I have a WPS which is P1 G2 and qualified with P1 GI.
Impact is the requirement ( For weld as well as for HAZ )
Now ...
Thanks Nasir
Thanks for elaboration , what i understand that QW-361.1 & QW-361.2 are essential variables and QW-362, QW-363 and QW-380 variables may not be imposed for qualification of Welding Operator.
Now question is
Is its mandatory to refer the QW-453 for Welding Operator...
Hi Friends
I have a small doubt and i need experts clarification
QW-360 WELDING VARIABLES FOR WELDING OPERATORS
QW-361 General
A welding operator shall be requalified whenever a
change is made in one of the following essential variables
(QW-361.1 and QW-361.2).There may be exceptions or...
Thanks Gtaw and Jones
Well actually i came across with this word " Weldability Test " as a requirement from one specification , and i am bit aware with the weldability as said by Mr. Jones but, Is there any specific test other than visual examination, volumetric NDT (RT and UT), tensile tests...
Well i came across the word " Weldability " but basically i am not having more information on this so please help me on below questions -
What is the terms " weldability " stand for ?
What are factors affecting the Weldability of a material ?
What are the weldability tests ?
What is the...
Friends,
I got the requirement for excess penetration from Shell DEP - DEP 61-40-20-30 1993 amendments to API 1104
6.3.6 Burn through
Change title to:
6.3.6 Burn through and excessive penetration
Add the following:
6.3.6.4 Root penetration shall not exceed 3 mm.
Mr. S Jones
You are right that if code is silent then no need to ask , but excess penetration is a defect , and the same code is giving range for Re-inforcement ( outer ).
yes Density difference is a concern based on that we can take a decesion. But is there any thing specific ?
Thanks for...
Dear Eyec
Thanks for your comment but BT ( Burn Through ) come due to excess penetration but its not classified as excess penetration.
What API 1104 says - A burn-through (BT) is defined as a portion of the root bead where excessive penetration has caused the weld
puddle to be blown into the...
Hi friends
Well in Pipeline Radiography of a butt joint what is the acceptance criteria for Excess Penetration.
Kindly note that , we are not able to check weld joint from Inside and code we are following is API 1104.
What are the deciding factor for PWHT ( coil or Band width ) requirement.
Some specs/ codes say 75 mm , some say 50 mm , some say 150 mm. So what are the basic criteria for selecting the Width of Induction Coil?
dear stanweld
here cladding is not included in the strength calculations, its only for Corrosion protection.
Here question is , for cladding there is UT and PT , but not RT , and after butt welding we are going for RT of butt weld as required. Any indication which is coming in weld or...
ColonelSanders
Well there was nothing mentioned in contracts except Company can ask for alternate or another NDT method if required and based on this they firmly said to repair and rejection is based on B31.3 ( as applicable for butt weld )
Hi
finally client is NOT accepting , so we have to do the re-work or reject the cladded items.
Any way we had a very good and informative post and a lot thanks.
