Dear All,
 
For our LNG piping project, as per ASME SEC IX for a pipe 16 inch OD and Thk 21.44 mm PWHT is manadtory? We are welding root and hot pass TIG and others SMAW.
Material is ASTM A333 .
 
Thaks in advance

Nandesh,

 

PWHT requirement is to be cross referred in line with Construction/Design code. In your mail, the applicable design code is missing. However, assuming the design code as B31.3 (2008) for piping, PWHT is mandatory for a thickness >20mm.

 

Regards,
Vasanth

ASME IX is not a code that can determine the PWHT, you must use a code of construction like being ASME B31.3 or ASME VIII. Soon you must determine N° P and the group that ASTM A333 corresponds, since there are different considerations for what has been said

Hi Nandesh,
                    For PWHT requirement detail is not given in ASME Sec IX, it is required based on construction code and Client specification.
 
As per ASME B31.3 , generally PWHT  required  for A333 Gr.6 is above 20 mm thk, but based on service fluid it will be higher requirement than code.
 
In my previous shell project some services requirement is 100%.

Nandesh,

 

Looking at your query, if the material of construction is P No/S No-1 then PWHT is mandatory over ¾” or 20 mm pipe wall thickness. This is the PWHT criteria as per B-31.3 -2008 code.

 

If the design code is not B-31.3 then PWHT requirements of the applicable design code will follow. Do you have impact requirements for LNG piping if so @ what temperature?.

 

If you could provide those details e.g. materials grade, SA 333 Gr1 or 6 , design code, design temperature more comprehensive answers could be provided.

 

Thanks

Dear Mr. Pradeep,
 
Yes you are right. Please throw some more light on this issue
 
Material : ASTM A333 Gr. 6
Design code : ASTM B31.3
Service : LNG line
Impact requirement : yes @ -21° C
 
Thanks for the suggestions.
Nandesh

Dear Nandesh,
 
As Per Table - A1, A333gr.6 is exempted from impact testing until -45 Deg.
How there could be an impact requirement @ -21 Deg.C.
 
Can you please clarify.
Thanks and Best regards,
K.Rajagopal

Hi All ;
As per the latest Edition of ASME B31.3 2014 all materials for PNo 1 are exempt from PWHT .I don't have a current copy but this is the link

Yes subject to the conditions stated on 331.1.3.
My personal advise: follow the requirements of 31.1 (power piping) on this matter
