lockhart day 4 training Flashcards
PQR must be….
signed and dated
WPS must be qualified by
manufacturer or contractors
WPS provides what
direction to welder for making production welds
WPS must address (3)
- essential
- non essential variables
- supplementary variables ( if required)
PQR does what?
establish the properties of the weld ONLY not welder
PQR must address (2)
- essential
- supplementary variable (if required)
WPS qualified in 1962 or later
can still be used
WPS qualified in 1962 or prior
can be used ONLY if all 1962 requirements are met
interpass temp?
highest temp allowed in weld or weld joint between pass
lower transformation temp is what and what happens?
1330F - ferrite begins to transform into austenite
upper transformation temp is what and what happens?
1600F - from ferrite to austenite is COMPLETE
who responsibility to qualify WPS and welders?
organization
who maintain welding records?
manufacturer shall maintain results of WPS and welders qualification
How often to do settlement sruvey? (3)
before , during, and after hydro
how long must radiographs be retained
1 year
How often must API653 be renewed?
3 years
how often an inspector required to be recertified
6 years
amount of time involved in inspection to keep API653 cert.
20%
When is CUI most severe?
170-230F
Where is MIC often found?
stagnant or low flow areas
How can caustic stress corrosion cracking be preventwed
PWHT at 1150F
Where is sulfuric acid most affect area for severe corrosion in CS?
HAZ
why is P number used?r
reduce the # of welding procedure qualification
Why is F # used?
reduce # of welding procedure/performance qualification
tension test is to determine?
ultimate stregnth
Requirement of tension test for base/weld metal and if 2 metals
- Base metal at least 95%
- Weld metals - 100%
- if 2 metals then weakest of the 2 base metals
Guided bend test to determine
ductility / soundness of groove weld joints
RT and UT can replace what test?
bend test
what are the requirement thickness for plates/pipe for «1’ and >1” for test specimen
«_space;1” = full thickness
>1” = full thickness OR multiple specimen
reduce sections for plates/ pipes requirement?
- plates = all thickness
2. pipe > 3”
what happens to CS with sulfuric acid if flow rate is 5fps?
increase CR when velocity is at 2-3 fps
What happens when water is mixed with sulfuric acid
diluted acid causes heat to be release, increasing CR
How to prevent sulfuric acid?
add caustic to neutralize
Reason for geodesic dome on a tank?
prevent vapor loss to eliminate the need for water draw off
Coating may affect UT reading, what to do for UT?
compensate for the coating
recommend size of coupon to remove for testing soil corrosion?
12” min
VI angle min?
min 30 degrees
penetrating oil is spray on the outside of the shell to weld for a test, what is another name?
wicking
what size discontinuity is allowed for bend test?
Less than 1/8” in any direction on convex surface
Are open discontinuity at corner acceptable?
all unless > 1/8”
