No experience with Tianjin Steel (China), however I would like to recommend/point-out the following:
1) Is there any restriction by your Client to purchase from China Vendor/Manufacturer?
1a) If yes, I think you do not need to bother considering China Vendors.
1b) If none, I believe you...
Hello!
I think, Article V of ASME Sec. IX could guide you if you can utilize the SWPSS (suffice with the conditions and/or requirements) for welding pressure boundary/parts.
Ciao!
Hi!
In my opinion, the 900degF (480degC) pertains to the minimum temperature where heat treatment takes place (e.g. applicable to Aging treatment/Precipitation Hardening) on a material. The Code 'maybe' simply specify it to consider not only the common heat treatment range-from 1100degF...
Hello!
In my opinion, there points that need to be clarified:
I) What criteria/aspect/visible identity in the flange connection that suspects you that it was overtorqued/gasket overcompressed?
Please also consider: a)What do you mean by crushed/damage and comparing it to compressed gasket? b)...

Based on your information below, you will be the one to design and manufacture the cable assemblies THEN also given the prerogative to judge if the cables are acceptable; therefore you should also be the one to indicate the acceptance criteria and test required for these cable...
Judgement on this cannot be done through the pictures, I may suggest the following:
1) Physical appearance could conceive one's judgment.

The product was received in the condition as per ASTM A6 Section 18.1.4.2 and 18.6.1. In addition, the transfer proceeded maybe because it was written your in-house qc procedure/traceability.
Since you...
Hello!
Yes, as per the standard, cold-drawn method for smaller pipe (D<2") can be conducted.
I think the main reason of this is that these line sizes, D<2", are mainly used in utility lines (non-critical/process service) therefore reduced yield strength and hardness by plastic deformation...
