10. For joining unequal schedule pipe, tapering or step-slot shall be made inside
thicker pipe for weld fit-up.
11. For fillet weld, the throat of fillet weld is calculated as throat = 0.707 size of
weld.
12. All welding shall be done by qualifying procedures and welders according to
ASME Sec. IX.
13. Table 330.1.1 gives required and recommended pre-heat temperature.
Recommendation becomes requirement if ambient temp is <0C.
14. In dissimilar pipe joints higher temperature of the two is to be used for preheating. The pre-heat zone shall extend at least one inch beyond the edge
of the weld.
15. Pre-heating, whenever specified ie applied to Strength welds, tack welds
and seal welds.
16. PWHT Table (331.1.1) gives temperature range, minimum holding time and
maximum hardness values.
17. PWHT conducted properly should reduce the hardness in weld and HAZ.
Code gives the maximum Brinell Hardness Values after PWHT
18. Where a hardness limit is specified in Table 331.1.1, at least 10 % of welds,
hot bends, and hot formed components in each furnace heat treated batch and
100% of those locally heat treated shall be tested for hardness.

ASME B 16.5 API 570, PIPE FLANGES AND FLANGED FITTINGS
(DAY 1)
1. B 16.5 Covers Flanges and flanged fittings with rating class designation 150. 300,
400, 600, 900, 1500, and 2500 in sizes NPS 1/2 through NPS 24
2. ASME B 16.5 permits Blind flanges made from plates .
3. The System Hydrostatic Test pressure for flanges and flanged fittings is 1.5 times the
pressure rating at 100 deg. F rounded to higher 25 psi.
4. For finding out the required flange class as per B16.5, first find out which table
(Pressure Temperature rating table) to refer for that material. Flange rating then can
be read out from that table for given condition of design pressure and design
temperature.
5. Flanges are not required to be pressure tested. Each flanged fitting shall be given a
shell pressure test
6. The shell pressure test for flanged fittings shall be at a pressure no less than 1.5 times
the 38C (100F) pressure rating rounded off to the next higher 1 bar (25 psi)
increment.
7. Flanged fittings shall be pressure tested for leak tightness using water. Other test
fluids may also be used if required. The test duration shall be:
