Thanks. just one more question I have welder qualified for SMAW/SAW (P43 TO P8) welding procedure, Would he able to weld overlay for SAW (P43 -P8) Welding procedure?
Yes I always check that but after closing and fit up the shell the circ.is bigger than required. It usually 1/4" to 1/2" bigger on Circ and I do not know how much the tolerance allowed if the circ. is bigger than required.
Anyone knows how to calculate the stretch of rolled shell (cold working)? Is there any equation that take into its consideration the thickness and chemical composition of plate? I have problem with circumference of shell after rolling it always bigger than required and we had to cut the extra...
The length of plate after cutting was 266 1/4" with 1/16" out of squareness and due to stretching after rolling, the shell circumference is 1/4" bigger than required. As per UG-80 The Max ID - Min ID should be within 1% which is 0.84" and the max & Min ID I got are 84 3/4" and 83 5/16"...
Hi everyone, I have a question and need your help. We had plate with actual thickness of 0.75” Rolled to 84” ID shell. I checked the circumference and ID of shell after rolling and fit-up long seam was 268 7/8” and 84 3/32”ID respectively.The circumference required to get 84”ID must be 268 5/8”...
