    "Continuous Weld"

    A continuous weld is what the employer would like to have all the time. An intermittent weld is when the welder has regular breaks for a smoke or a chat with the guy working beside him. [pipe]

    API 1104 Yield Strength Groups

    jm2804, No, it will not require re-qualification. API 1104 Clause 5.4.2.2 notes "b" Specified minimum yield strength - not actual yield strength. The specified minimum yield strength for X60 as per Table 3 of API 5L is 60,000 psi minimum with 82,000 maximum. As long as you have definitely been...

    X52 Pipe

    Stanweld, Thank you for the response but it hasn't helped me understand. If I qualify a PQR with an electrode (ER70S-6) that has a batch certificate showing Mn of 1.40 then I can class it as an A-1 or A-2 (how do you decide if it is actually A-1 or A-2 ?) What if I have a PQR/WPS that states A-1...

    HDPE Standards in Australia

    zdas04, My sincere apologies for hijacking your post but wanted to respond to Staniers comments. Stanier, Your comment that the Australian pressure piping code - AS 4041 is not based on ASME is a bit strange as the Foreword of AS 4041 states ASME B31.1 & B31.3 are a major source of material...

    Number of weld repair

    zibaeng, You ask an impossible question. The code or standard you are working to tells you the requirements for impact testing. Materials, thicknesses, MDMT etc will determine whether impact testing is required by that specific code or standard or not, Regards, Kiwi

    Hello, we want to deliver a cylind

    Silje, It is your responsibility to design (and manufacture if in your scope)as per your contract and contract specifications. If there are additional requirements (eg. called up in AS 1210)or other Australian regulations it is your customers responsibility to request compliance. Regards, Kiwi

    Welder certificate validity period according to ASME IX

    Gen B, Does not have to be on code construction work - can be on a tin can or a tractor or an instrument. Obviously from an employers (or clients) perspective coded work would be preferable but not required by the ASME IX code, Cheers, Kiwi

    ASME requirement for attachement material

    Thanks Weldtek, As it is Non Mandatory P-Numbers does that mean they are classed as Assigned or Un-Assigned materials ? (Or is that Listed or Unlisted materials ?) Cheers, Kiwi

    Reinforcement requirements on branch connections

    moltenmetal, After my first response I looked again and Bonney Forge make sockolets up to 6" outlet size (Cl 3000) and they also make 4" and 6" size to size sockolets so somebody is welding 4" sockolets on to 4" pipe somewhere. Still think the Tee is the best idea for a variety of reasons -...
