A CENTURY OF ESAB INNOVATIONS
In 1904, Oscar Kjellberg, a Swedish

engineer, was working on ships and
boilers in Gothenburg, Sweden. He was
not satisfied with the quality of repair
jobs. His quest for a better technology
led to the invention of the world's first
covered electrode. And thus, Elektriska
Svetsnings Aktie Bolaget (ESAB) was
born. Today, ESAB leads the world in
providing welding and cutting solutions.
At ESAB, every problem is an
opportunity, every sale start of an
enduring relationship. From supplying
welding equipment to consumables,
cutting machines to working
environment products, ESAB, today has
established itself as one of the leading
suppliers of welding, cutting and working
environment solutions in the country.
ESAB products are now an integral
part of industries like Shipbuilding,
Petrochemical, Construction, Transport,
Offshore, Energy and Repair and
Maintenance.
The ESAB group belongs to the world
renowned Charter Plc. Group, UK, and
employs around 8000 people of which
more than 600 are engaged in research
and development at centres in Sweden,
Holland, UK, Germany, USA, Brazil and
India.
In India, ESAB was formally
incorporated on 10th November 1987, 2001 First Modular Platform for Welding Equipments
and it has expanded through a number of
acquisitions. The organisation operates
five manufacturing facilities backed by 2002 Copper Fee Wire - Aristorod
world-class R&D.
All the manufacturing units of Esab India 2005 The Q Set Function
Limited, are ISO 9000 and 14000
certified - the only company in India, in
the welding field to receive such an
honour.

Consumables for 9% Ni Steels
LNG TANK FABRICATION
DESCRIPTION
Consumables
Welding
LNG Storage tanks are usually fabricated from 9% Ni steels to provide a combination of properties at a reasonable
price. Quenched & tempered 9% Ni Steels has excellent low temperature properties and is not susceptible to under
bead cracking or excessive hardening in the HAZ on account of its low carbon. Esab offers a complete range of
proven consumables.
Nickel Based Consumables
The tensile strength of the high Nickel alloy weld metal is close to that of 9% nickel steels and has high resistance
to brittle fracture, good impact strength at -196°C, lateral expansion, side bend test and yield strength properties.
Special Stainless Steel Consumables are also available for LNG transport tanks and associated piping.
APPLICATIONS
The MMA electrodes are designed to weld on AC, largely to eliminate the magnetic arc blow problem of 9% nickel
steels. SAW is preferred for cicumferential welds and MMA for the vertical welds. Smaller diameter wires (1.6mm)
deliver better impact values. 9% nickel steels can be welded without pre and post weld treatment up to 60 mm, as
per ASME code, OK 92.55 is Preferred, when higher impact values are specified.

The weight of welding electrodes or welding wire neces-
sary to complete a given weld joint may be calculated by PROCESS DEPOSITION
the formula: EFFICIENCY

E Gas Metal Arc (98% Ar, 2% O2) 0.98%
P = Weight of electrode or wire required
Gas Metal Arc (75%Ar, 25% CO2) 0.96%
W = Weight per unit length of weld metal
Gas Metal Arc (CO2) 0.93%
L = Length of weld (meter)
E = Deposition efficiency Metal Cored Wires 0.93%
WEIGHT PER UNIT LENGTH OF WELDMETAL Gas Shielded Flux Cored Wires 0.85%
Calculating the weight of weld metal requires than we Self Shielded Flux Cored Wires 0.82%
consider the following items. * Shielded Metal Arc (Stick 300 mm long) 0.59%
1. Area of cross-section of the weld * Shielded Metal Arc (Stick 350 mm long) 0.62%
2. Length of the weld * Shielded Metal Arc (Stick 450 mm long) 0.66%
3. Volume of the weld in cubic centimetre * Includes 2” stub loss.
4. Weight of the weld metal per cubic centimetre It must be remembered that when deposition tests are per-
formed in the laboratory, the deposition efficiency is calculated
The area of the cross-section (the triangle) in the fillet by the formula:
weld shown below is equal to one half the base times
the height. The volume of the weld is equal to the area Weight of metal deposited
times the length, and the weight of the weld then, is the Deposition Efficiency = Weight of electrode consumed
volume times the weight of the material (steel) per cubic
centimetre. This does not take stub loss into consideration. The
chart below shows how the length of the stub effects the
laboratory-established efficiency.

1. Make a drawing of the cross-section of the joint to exact scale.
2. Divide the cross-section into right triangles, rectangles and sketch in the desired reinforcement.
3. Dimension the thickness, angles, angle leg length, root opening and the length and height of the reinforcement.
4. Total the weight per meter of each of the elements from the chart for the weight per meter of the weld.
