Dear All,
As per ASME Section IX QW-404.33 Classification of electrode is essential. So guide my about following:
I have a PQR,
Process : SMAW
Material: SA-516 Gr 70
Electrode : E7018
Can i change this electrode E-6018????
Chemical analysis of E6018 also as per A-1
Note: Chemical analysis of...
Please reply as per ASME Section IX
Can we use turned specimen ( Tensile) for qualification of PQR.
Material: 516 Gr 70
Thickness: 16 mm
Process : SMAW
Electrode: E7018
PWHT/PRE Heat: N/A
See QW 151.3 & QW-462.1 (d)
Please clarify me ASME IX says Addition of backing is non essential variable and does not address deletion of bakcing so tell me how can i resolve this issue

A portion of the weld (of any length) may be removed and replaced as long as the replaced weld meets the size
requirements of API 650, Section 5.1.5.7, and the portion replaced does not represent more than 50 % of the
required weld cross-sectional area.
what is meant by...
Dear Experts, Please guide me about following issue
Q # 1
What is minimum thickness for PWHT for storage tank shell, Bottom(Construction code:API 650)?
Q # 2
Where is it written in API 650? please share reference with me?
I am not understanding following statements of API-653
9.2.4.3
For lap welded and riveted tanks, reinstallation of an original plate section that crosses an existing horizontal
seam is not permitted. Door sheets that cross vertical riveted or lap welded seams are not permitted in any case...
