UCS-56(f) Weld repairs

1. to P-No. 1 Group Nos. 1, 2, and 3 materials and 2. to P-No. 3 Group Nos. 1, 2, and 3 materials and 3. to the weld metals used to join these materials

may be made after the final PWHT but prior to the final hydrostatic test, without additional PWHT, provided that PWHT is not required as aservice requirement in accordance with UW-2(a), except for the exemptions in Table UCS-56, or as a service requirement in accordance with UCS-68. The welded repairs shall meet the requirements of (1) through (6) below. These requirements do not apply when the welded repairs are minor restorations of the material surface, such as those required after removal of construction fixtures, and provided that the surface is not exposed to the vessel contents.


1. The Manufacturer shall give prior notification of the repair to the user or to his designated agent and shall not proceed until acceptance has been obtained. Such repairs shall be recorded on the Data Report.

2. The total repair depth shall not exceed 1 ½ in. (38 mm) for P-No. 1 Group No. 1, 2, and 3 materials and 5⁄8 in. (16 mm) for P-No. 3 Group No. 1, 2, and 3 materials. The total depth of a weld repair shall be taken as the sum of the depths for repairs made from both sides of a weld at a given location.

3. After removal of the defect, the groove shall be examined, usingeither the magnetic particle or the liquid penetrant examinationmethods, in accordance with Appendix 6 for MT and Appendix 8 for PT.


(4) In addition to the requirements of Section IX for qualification of Welding Procedure Specifications for groove welds, the following requirements shall apply:

(a)The weld metal shall be deposited by the manual shielded metal arc process using low hydrogen electrodes. The electrodes shall be properly conditioned in accordance with Section II, Part C, SFA-5.5, Appendix A6.11. The maximum bead width shall be four times the electrode core diameter.

(b) For P-No. 1 Group Nos. 1, 2, and 3 materials, the repair area shall be preheated and maintained at a minimum temperature of 200°F (95°C) during welding.


(c) For P-No. 3 Group Nos. 1, 2, and 3 materials, the repair weld method shall be limited to the half bead weld repair and weld temper bead reinforcement technique. The repair area shall be preheated and maintained at a minimum temperature of 350°F (175°C) during welding. The maximum inter-pass temperature shall be 450°F (230°C). The initial layer of weld metal shall be deposited over the entire area using 1⁄8 in. (3 mm) maximum diameter electrodes. Approximately one-half the thickness of this layer shall be removed by grinding before depositing subsequent layers. The subsequent weld layers shall be deposited using 5⁄32 in. (4 mm) maximum diameter electrodes in such a manner as to assure tempering of the prior weld beads and their heat affected zones. A final temper bead weld shall be applied to a level above the surface being repaired without contacting the base material but close enough to the edge of the underlying weld bead to assure tempering of the base material heat affected zone. After completing all welding, the repair area shall be maintained at a temperature of 400°F ~ 500°F (205°C–260°C) for a minimum period of 4 hr. The final temper bead reinforcement layer shall be removed substantially flush with the surface of the base material.


(5) After the finished repair weld has reached ambient temperature, it shall be inspected using the same nondestructive examination that was used in (f)(3) above, except that for P-No. 3, Group No. 3 materials, the examination shall be made after the material has been at ambienttemperature for a minimum period of 48 hr to determine the presence of possible delayed cracking of the weld. If the examination is by the magnetic particle method, only the alternating current yoke type is acceptable. In addition, welded repairs greater than 3⁄8 in. (10 mm) deep in materials and in welds that are required to be radiographed by the rules of this Division, shall be radiographically examined to the requirements of UW-51.

(6) The vessel shall be hydrostatically tested after making the welded repair.

UCS-66 MATERIALS.

UCS-66


The main material property that API 510 / ASME VIII is concernedwith is that of resistance to brittle fracture. The fundamental issue is therefore whether a material is suitable for the minimum design metal temperature (MDMTdesign) for which a vessel is designed. This topic is covered by clause UCS-66 of ASME VIII.

UCS-66


Steps:

1. UG-20 for exemption on impact testing.2. UCS-66.

• Identified material Group A,B,C,D. • Figure UCS-66 to determine the allowable MDMT.• Figure UCS-66.1 to determine the reduction in MDMT based on

coincident ratio.3. UCS-68(c) to determine on further reduction in MDMT.

UCS-66


Figure UCS 66.1 Coincident Ratio

The Coincident Ratio is based on a vessel’s extra thickness due to its design calculations which were based on its Maximum Temperature.Meaning that; As metal’s temperature increases its strength decreases, hotter means weaker, therefore the allowable stress is decreased during calculations resulting in vessel that requires thicker walls when hot than when it is operating at its coldest temperature, the MDMT.

This ratio takes credit for the extra wall thickness that is present, but not needed to resist pressure at the MDMT. The following graphic will help. Usually when there is a drop in temperature there is also a drop in the pressure. The two operating conditions are calculated and the Ratio is determined. This Ratio is given on the exam and you need only use the table to apply this rule.

UCS-66


How to use FIG. UCS-66 & FIG. UCS-66.1 to determine impact test value (MDMT allowable)

UCS-66


Steps:1. Determine material group.2. Determine MDMT allowable on

the graph.3. If Design MDMT higher than

MDMT allowable, no test requires.4. If MDMT allowable is higher than

design MDMT goto FIG. UCS-66.1

UCS-66


Steps:5. If the coincident ratio is 0.70

reduction of 30oF from the MDMT allowable. The revised MDMT’ allowable = 59oF.

6. If the revised MDMT’allowable is higher than the design MDMT, check on item 7.

7. If material is P1, UCS-68(c) If postweld heat treating is performed when it is not otherwise a requirement of this Division, a reduction of 30oF. The resulting MDMT allowable may be colder than -55oF.

UCS-66


Once the MDMT allowable had been ascertained, further reductions are possible by within -55ºF capping with exception;

1. Low coincident stress ratio

2. postweld heat treating is performed when it is not otherwise a requirement of this Division on P1 materials.

UCS-66

- 55oF


UCS-66 (b2) For minimum design metal temperatures colder than -55ºF (-48ºC), impact testing is required for all materials, except as allowed in (b)(3) below and in UCS-68(c).

UCS-66 (b3) When the minimum design metal temperature is colder than -55ºF (-48ºC) and no colder than -155ºF (-105ºC), and the coincident ratio defined in Fig. UCS-66.1 is less than or equal to 0.35, impact testing is not required.

UCS-66


UCS-66 (b2) For minimum design metal temperatures colder than -55ºF (-48ºC), impact testing is required for all materials, except as allowed in (b)(3) below and in UCS-68(c).

UCS-68(c) If postweld heat treating is performed when it is not otherwise a requirement of this Division, a 30ºF (17ºC) reduction in impact testing exemption temperature may be given to the minimum permissible temperature from Fig. UCS-66 for P-No. 1 materials. The resulting exemption temperature may be colder than -55ºF (-48ºC).
