Ultrasonic Testing & Intergranular Corrosion Testing; G28 Method A for CRO Welding on Carbon Steel with Inconel 625

[Ghafor Mohamad]

Dear Experts

I am qualified a PQR for CRO Welding using Inconel 625 on Carbon Steel plate. As per ASME IX, mandatory test is:

1. Dye Penetration Test
   
2. Transverse Side Bend Test
   
3. Chemical Analysis
4. Hardness (location may refer to ISO 15056 Fig 6 for NACE req.)
5. Macro Etch photo

What I am confusing is that Intergranular Corrosion (G28 Method A) and Ultrasonic Test is applicable to conduct or not? 

Thanks

No requirement of UT & Intergranular corrosion tests.

 

Thanks

Inter-granular test required for 625 material. UT is not require.If client spec specify that ut test require , if u have to do Utb test.\

Hi Abdul Ghafor Mohamad,

 

ASME Sec-IX is the procedure qualification code, not the code for design or construction of the components. If the component is intended for offshore applications and API-5LD- Specification for CRA Clad or Lined Steel Pipe is applicable  design document then corrosion testing (clause 8.2) as stated below would be required.

 

May be it would be a good idea to look  at the design documents for details.

 

Thanks

• Corrosion Testing

A corrosion sensitivity test shall be performed as a manufacturing procedure qualification test (MPQT) on the CRA layers of austenitic steel and N i-base alloy as described below. The purpose of this test is to assure proper manufacturing procedures for austenitic steel and Ni-base alloys. It is not a test to determine susceptibility for use with a particular environment.

a) Summary of test procedure. The testing procedure shall conform to the requirements of the latest editions of ASTM A262, Practice E or Practice B. or ASTM G28, Method A or ASTM G48, Method A (Section 8), whichever is suitable for the cladding or liner material and as agreed between the purchaser and manufacturer. The method thatis used shall be agreed to between the purchaser and the manufacturer. Other practices may be agreed upon.

Hi,

Generally not required, but if Client insist to do so and pay for extra cost then go for it.

But performing these tests may be useful in future if ever encounter a client requesting the
same, in that case you might have to carry out new qualification, i have seen major
manufacturers doing these tests just to make sure that they do not re-qualify if ever client
request UT,Intergranular corrosion test..
