First I apologise if this has been discussed in another thread but a quick search showed nothing that helped.
I have been lead to believe that in B31.3 it does not state that you have to us ASME IX as your welding code as long as you use a recognised local or national standard, for example BSEN...
Hope some one can help.
I have been looking at the NORSOK Standard on Piping fabrication,install, flushing and testing (L-004)and section 8.3 Test Media makes the statement below.
"For pneumatic testing, the test media shall be oil free, dry air or any inert gas. The use of air for testing...
What happens to the pump then? Are we talking about slow rate to failure or is to total catastrophic failure. If it’s catastrophic, what sort of pressures and speeds is it running at?
I have been asked to find at if these types of pumps can fail catastrophically and at what speed and pressure.
Has anyone any experience with earth bonding of PTFE Lined pipework in relation to the static charge build up in the pipe due to the fluid in the PTFE lining?
Any information would be helpful.
Thanks
Thank you.
I agree with you LitleInch it is a small amount of testing. We have been discussing this in house and mainly it’s down to the speed in which we can get this inspection done (I.e. a night breakdown and plant needs to be up and running) as we don't have the skills in house to do it.
I...
How does anyone get round the section 341.4.1 (b) (1) requirement for 5% radiography/ultrasonic on butt and miter welds when doing maintenance/breakdown work when the need is to replace the pipe spool?
Is there another code that I should be looking at for the maintenance on pipe work?
In ASME B31.3 Chapter V Fabrication, Assembly and Erection Section 328.2.2 (g) states that the welding rods for SMAW are selected for the table.
Does this mean that you can only use these rods and you can not use other types? and it also means that the welding procedure has to include these. Or...

Hoping some one can enlighten me regarding Long range ultrasonic in Stainless steel.
I have spoken to one company they did not seam bothered about it testing 316L, but I spoke to another and I was informed that because of grain structure with in the 316L then the beam would bonce...
Ok thanks for the insight
In the eyes of a regulatory body what makes a competent person? And how does that person demonstrate to the regulatory body that they are competent?
Thanks everyone, I enjoyed the Monday morning read.
Thanks to DVD for the outstanding comment
And to IRSuff, we actually get on very well and have a good laugh and he does point me in the right direction on some things, but he does not always follow through on these things himself. This is...

A 10 year internal Inspection of a Lagged Storage Tank carried out to a WSE written by 3rd Party.
The inspection was carried out and pitting was found. Plant Engineer with 15+ year’s industry experience had tank repaired and Dye Pen test, all done on the internal walls of the tank...
