this is no central dark strip indication, so root concavity is not possible.
i dont understand for you secondary section about GTAW vertical up and SMAW cellulose vertical down.
Dear
this is a problems on the RT films of piping welds， which one can give me a reasonable explanation.
on the films one indication （a dark line on the root weld edge ares ）looks like lack fusion ，but as my and my friend many year experience， this is not the lack fusion.
the welding process...
Dear Syahar1975
I worked as the welding engineer more than 10 years，and experience in storage tanks. that is a bed concept and habit for the welder to execute welding working as per his experience aside the WPS .
other reasons why the welder don't welding as per the WPS because the WPS is not...
Dear
the project which will using the detector is postpone because of all actual factor.
I know it very clearly, the calibration interval cannot be recommended or determined by the calibration agency, the user of the detector shall keep the equipment in a good condition and in a valid...
dekdee
are you from china, the same to me.
I dont agree with your point "A PQR is just a test coupon" ,A PQR cannot be simply considered a test coupon, a test coupon only the tool or approach to complete the all PQR, PQR is a complex process not only a test coupon.
The AI's point is correct.
agree with gtaw
the purpose of the PRQ is different because of the difference construction code.
The PQR and WPS must be prepared with the corresponding construction code respectively，Cannot be used mixed.
dear,
I calibrated a detector on 10th Feb 2014, with a enclosed tag that addressed the due time is 10th Feb 2015, But after calibration the detector was not used anymore, only stored in the initial box and kept an calibration status. from 6th May 2016, we start to used this detector in...
AS prescribed in ASME ix, the WPS shall depicts all of the essential，non-essential variables，if required，includes the supplementary essential variables for each welding process
THE VARIABLES OF EACH PROCESS ARE LISTED IN QW250
conclusively， the brand of the electrode is not listed in each...
Dear bro
you must understand the difference between procedure qualification and welder qualification.
i don't find the paragraph 432.1 in ASME ix except the table 432.1 which indicates the F-No. of electrode.
Maybe you means QW423.1
if a welder qualified use an WSP combined with a base...
congratulations to you Bro， the TPI inspector is experienced in the field. his points is right，how can you control the final tolerance of plumbness from the top to the bottom of the tank shell，even no check requirement during erection by the API650，but as an constructor，you must control the...
We can read this lecture
http://www.gowelding.com/wp/asme-multi.htm
assure that the test coupon thickness of multi-process welding is 26mm or thicker, how can we cutting the impact test specimen,from SMAW deposited metal? or from GTAW deposited metal? or a single set specimen contains two...
as the statement of ASME VIII-1 UG20(b）
“The minimum metal temperature used in design shall be the lowest expected in service expect xxx”，
The MDMT marked on the nameplate shall correspond to a coincident pressure equal to the MAWP”
Background: a pressure vessel,the internal pressure is direct...
Dear weldstan
As your point, that analysis result for that element is not required to be reported on the MTR. If the result of the element is very high or very low, how can the purchaser judge the acceptance of the Material.
Can you send the web-link of that thread.Dear metengr ?
The ASME VIII-1 code is the construction code.
a full size can represents the boss process，this point don't conform with the principle of ASME code, I considered.
Background: A PQR test coupon with 10mm thick, welded by multi-process GTAW +SMAW ,the deposit metal thickness is 3mm and 7mm respectively.
QUESTION: (1)for cold band test, TWO FACE and TWO back bend specimen will be tested to represent GTAW and SMAW deposit metal.
(2)for impact...
