Do the postweld heat treatment exemptions for circumferential butt welds noted in Table PW-39-3 apply to the welds illustrated by Figure PW-16.1, illustration (a)? Thank you in advance

when Code Case 2577 is incorporated. The UHA-44 requirements only apply at elevated temperature for the 300-series austenitic stainless steels

I think that it is need to do MT/PT on any remaining exposed surface of the weld joint preparation, unless the flat end plate is forging material. Interpretation: VIII-1-07-57 Question: Are the NDE provisions of UG-93(d)(3) required if a forging is used for a flat head or cover...

payaam2000; Austenitic, Duplex, Super-duplex stainless steels require adequate proportion of ferrite in the product to obtain acceptable corrosion resistance and strength and especially resistance to Stress Corrosion Cracking .

Hi everyone, I was caculating a minimum wall thickness for half coupling fitting NPS 11/2, but B16.11-2011 said that "Within these limits, the minimum wall thickness for pipe to be used with a Table 7 Class designated fitting shall be computed based on appropriate size straight seamless pipe of...

Hi everyone, A question was raised as current range value was specified in PQR when make tube to tubesheet qualification as per QW-288. When I reviewed WPS for tube to tubesheet at shop found that a curent range value(235~300 A) was specified in WPS, alike a current range value (260~275 A)...

Thanks sanTMan.Whether there are exit an code interpretation as your viewpoint?

Are impact tests required on austenitic ferritic duplex steel,as attachment bracket plate of leg which essential to the structural integrity when weld to preesure part,when the MDMT is +32°F or colder, and the thickness limit of UHA-51(d)(3)(a) in Section VIII, Division 1 is exceeded? thks !
