When dressing of the weld face is required, it shall be ensured that overheating of the joint due to the grinding action; grinding marks and uneven finish are avoided. In the case of fillet welds and butt welds that are to be dressed flush, ensure that the joint merges smoothly with the parent metal without under-flushing. b) Penetration and root examination In the case of but welds made from one side only, entire joint shall be inspected to ensure that inadequate penetration, any root concavity, burnthrough or shrinkage grooves are within the acceptable limits using appropriate measuring devices and optical or other aids if necessary from the access point of view. In the case of butt welds made from two sides, partial penetration butt welds and fillet welds, penetration cannot be checked visually after welding. When necessary, alternative inspection methods shall be used. c) Contour The contour of the weld face and the height of the excess weld metal, shall be checked, using appropriate measuring devices. Surface of the weld shall 9

SUMMARY OF HEAT TREATMENT AND RELATED REQUIREMENTS FOR WELDED PIPING 1. 2. Seal welds and socket welds shall be made with stainless weld metal; for lines in service over (4280C) use inconel filler metal. Postweld heat treat all lines in caustic service at (5930C) to (6490C) for 1 hr/25.4mm. of wall thickness, minimum 1 hour, if operating temperature exceeds (600C) or if caustic concentration exceeds 25z by weight or if line is steam traced and either in stagnant or intermittent service, BHN shall not exceed 200. Maximum hardness of welds and heat affected zone after heat treatment shall not exceed 225 BHN. Postweld heat treat (7040C) to 13750F(7450C) for 1 hr/25.4mm. of wall thickness, minimum 2 hours, for all thickness, except seal and socket welds. Postweld heat treat at (5930C) to (6490C) for 1 hr/25.4mm. of wall thickness, minimum 1 hour, for wall thickness greater than 19mm. Postweld heat treat at (7040C) to (7450C) for 1 hr/25.4mm. of wall thickness, minimum 2 hour for all wall thickness,except seal and socket welds. Postweld heat treat at (7050C) to (7600C) for 1 hr/25.4mm. of wall thickness minimum 2 hour. (MP) Magnetic particle inspection of the Root pass and of the completed weld shall be in accordance with ASME BPV Code,SecV,Article7. This is to include welds of Nozzles, reinforcing pads, couplings and attachment welds or welded areas. Procedure shall be established and executed by qualified personnel. (DP) Liquid penetrant inspections of the Root Pass and the complete weld testing shall be made with a non-water soluble system procedure shall be established. There shall be no sulfur or sulfur compound contained in the liquid employed.

3. 4.

5. 6.

7. 8.

9.

10. (V) Visual examination shall be in accordance with the ASME BPV Code,SecV,Article9. Visual aids such as optics, mirrors and magnifier's shall be used where practicable. 11. Radiographic testing and acceptance criteria shall be in accordance with ASME BPV Code,Sec V,Article2.This is to include girth,butt,miter and branch welds. 12.
