Hi metengr,
Originally, the pipe has a bell and spigot joint. Then, it has been shorten the length as required at site installation. Then, the proposed solution is to join the pieces by butt welding.
Ron, i appreciate your concern. I am familiar in hydrostatic testing but of course I am not familiar in special case like this. If I will ask some local consultant, I think I don't need to raise this question in this forum.
The reason I need the calculation is because we need to fabricate blind...
Hi QualityAsia,
If I can only convince TPI that paragraph QW-200.4(b) shall not be considered, I will be happy. But the code must be followed for combination of welding procedure..as per the requirement according to QW-451.1.
Hi Weldtek,
According to ASMEIX...To prepare single WPS with multiple PQRs, refer to QW-451.1, Note (2) "For combination of welding procedure, see QW-200.4".
Where in QW-200.4(a) for qualification of WPS for root pass deposit only, refer to QW-200.4(b).
In QW-200.4(b) to support the single...
I am also little bit confused with the interpretation...why ASME IX provides an example like in par. QW-200.2(f), where mentioned about "a single WPS may cover 1.5 to 32mm if PQRs exist for both the 1.5mm through 5mm and 5mm through 32mm thickness range". How we can satisfy the paragraph...
Hi Everybody,
This is my query:
I would like to prepare single WPS with two supporting PQRs.
PQR-1 is GTAW process with 2.77mm coupon thickness and PQR-2 is SMAW process with 10.00mm coupon thickness. I would like to know if I can make WPS with the PQR-1 as root/hot pass and PQR-2 is fill/cap...
I would like to know where can I find the required maximum hardness test value(HB) of carbon steel(A106-B) after post weld heat treatment. Is this mandatory to carry-out in the preparation of welding procedure, if the design codes are for ASME I, B31.1 and B31.3?
