Temperatures Flashcards
Reconstruction - Base metal temp when hand-warm pre-heat is required
0 - 32 degrees F
Linings - Minimum temp when performing abrasive blasting
5 degrees F above dew point
Linings - Minimum temp when installing tank bottom linings
5 degrees F above dew point
Corrosion – The corrosion rate of steel tank bottoms may double with this rise in temperature
18 degrees F
UT Calibration - Calibration Block must be within what temperature of the part to be examined
25 degrees F
Vacuum Box - Standard temperature range for VB exam
40 - 125 degrees F
PT - Standard temperature range for a PT exam
40 - 125 degrees F
Impact Test - Design metal temperature that requires weld procedure used for vertical welds to be impacted tested
Brittle - Tank metal temperature where brittle fracture is NOT a concern
> 60 degrees F
Bottom Lap Patches - Metal temp where lap-patches are NOT allowed in critical zone on SS tank
> 100 degrees F
Intervals - If tank product solidify below this temperature, the code maximum interval rules do not apply
Preheat - Approximate temp of a required hand-warm pre-heat
140 degrees F
Corrosion - Temperature when high strength caustic causes serious corrosion in CS and 300 SS
> 150 degrees F
Preheat - Required pre-heat temperature for shell welds over 1.5” thick during Reconstruction
200 degrees F
Bottom Lap Patches - Metal temperature where lap-patches are NOT allowed in the critical zone on CS tanks
> 200 degrees F
