Hello!
You need to show the individual Heat input of each pass and also indicate the sum or total Heat input.
Thanks & best regards.
PJA
From an ASME Section IX Code stand point the below statements are not correct.
On should read the Section IX, QW-409.1, interpretations (there are quite a few). In particular one should Interpretation IX-81-91. However, I will transcribe portions of several interpretations that are interesting:
IX-81-19
Q4 – “If QW-409.1 does not require that average heat input be determined” {previous question – reply No} “how is heat input established for multiple pass procedure qualification? Must it be established for each pass?
R4 – QW-409.1 requires requalification when an increase in heat input occurs over that qualified. Maximum heat input is established during procedure qualification by determination of the maximum amperage and voltage in combination with the least travel speed or, alternatively, the maxi mum volume of weld metal deposited per unit length of weld. Heat input is not required to be determined for each pass.
IX-04-12
Q1 – Does QW-409.1 require the highest heat input, to be recorded on the PQR, be calculated on the parameter used at the location where the HAZ impact specimens are removed.
R1 – No.
Although, I will admit I record amperage, voltage, and travel speed for each pass when performing PQR welding whether impact testing is required or not; i.e. whether QW-409.1 is an essential variable or not applicable.

Dear All,
Please see the attached photo for the undercut and advice if it is possible to repair this on PTEF lined vessel the vessel. The size is 2” NB and wall thickness is 2mm with inside PTFE lining of 4mm. We have imported this vessel from Germany but during 3rd party inspection it is rejected because of this undercut. The working pressure of this vessel is only 3.5 bar and its successful withstood a hydro test pressure of 10 bar.
Now I request all the expert to please advice if we can repair this undercut if yes than please provide me some guideline or some procedure to carry out this repairing.
Thanks in advance for your kind help.
With kind regards,
Vinod Kumar Kataria

What is the code and material of construction?
Dear experts,
Could you please give some guidelines or codes, references on how to prepare WPS & PQR? I’m sure your valuable inputs will help me to prepare this.
Thank you,
Ilan

Dear Suresh,
Thanks a lot for your response please note customer wants this to be repaired by us before dispatch. Now the problem is the vessel is PTFE lined and this lining will be spoiled if we do any weld repair because of heat.

Thanks Suresh but the PTFE lining is under this weld also and the any type of repairing will spoil PTFE lining even a small hole in the lining will result in rejection of total material.

PTFE lining thickness is 4mm we have shown LPT and Hydro Test at much higher pressure i.e. 10 bar against the required 5.25 bar but customer wants this to be repaired before dispatch.
Dear Vinod,
In my opinion there is no opportunity to repair undercuts in piping with only 2 mm wall thickness. By welding you will definitely damage the PTFE liner inside the piping.
Only possibility is to change weld geometry in such case that it will no longer be a sharp transition from weld to base material (if third party agrees).
You can do this by burr grinding but with such small wall thickness you will have the risk to remove too much material.
In this case I would propose to use high frequency hammering with a pin which have a radius at the front of min. 2 mm.
By this method you not removing any material but only changing welds profile. Beside that the loss of strength caused by the undercut will be compensated by the introduced compressive stresses in this area.

As an alternative to Herman’s recommendations, you might consider undertaking an Engineering Critical Assessment (ECA). I realize that the toe geometry probably fails to meet code requirements, but if it can be proven through ECA that the joint is “fit for service” in its present condition, especially since further alteration may do more harm than good, then your customer may be inclined to accept your work as-is.
Also, while I agree with Herman’s suggestion to apply high-frequency peening, I would caution that this operation will not appreciably restore the static bending strength of the joint to its intended design level. In other words, peening can be expected to have virtually no effect on its resistance to plastic collapse. However, peening should significantly improve its fatigue performance, which actually may be more important than static strength, depending on the service conditions.

Please also see the following procedure coming to my mind for this repairing
1. We will fill the complete level gauge with cool water and close all
the entry points so that water remain inside during welding.
2. Carry out the welding using PULSE TIG so that heat input can be
minimise.
3. Welding time should be very small to minimise heat input.
4. Put lot of water immediately after completion of welding.
5. Do the High Voltage test to ensure that PTFE lining is not damaged
during welding.
6. KV for High Voltage Test to be selected as per the original wall
thickness of PTFE lining.
7. Do the Hydro test.
Please see if the above procedure is correct and can be used.
With kind regards,
Vinod Kumar Kataria
