Dear Engineers,
I have a query regarding welding electrode for API 5L X65 pipe. Given this pipe tensile strength is 77Ksi (base metal). Are we allowed to weld using E7016 electrode for SMAW?
Just FYI, based on KObelco welding handbook E7016 (LB52U) have the tensile strength of around 79Ksi.
thank you metengr
FYI, we are on the client side. the vessel had been in use fr the past 6 months in which still covered under fabricator warranty of 18 months.
Thank you for your help.
Dear Engineers,
Currently we had a problem with one of our pressure vessel build under asme div2 code.
Fillet weld to attach circular plate on the internal side of vessel which act as supports for coalescer filters had found with cracks extending about 1/3 of vessel circumferential. Root cause...
Thanks Guys...
Anyway on current rapid price escalation especially on world oil which somehow indirectly (or maybe directly) affect the pricing of metal, my current cost estimate somehow goes haywire.
Like this morning, after opening commercial proposal from few contractors (oil & gas), the...
Dear Engineers,
I would like to know, if there is such reference on current market price for various size/material for pipes and its fittings?
Glad if fellow engineers can help me on this.
My day to day work involves cost estimating for projects. Thus i really in need on this kind of info.
