  • All ASME Code Stamped Section VIIIpressure vesselsmust undergo a pressure test.Cryogenic pressure vesselswith Code Stamps are no different. The requirements for this pressure testing is contained within paragraphs “UG-99 Hydrostatic Pressure Test”, “UG-100 Pneumatic Test”, and “UG-101 Proof Tests to Establish Maximum Allowable Working Pressure”.

  • Hydrostatic testing of the pipeline including riser should follow the below procedures: The pressure should be raised to the test pressure and allowed to stabilize then held for 15 minutes. The rate of pressure increase should not exceed 100 kPa (15 psi) per minute during all operations. The pressure should be lowered to approximately 25 percent of test pressure, allowed to stabilize then

  • The major objective of radiographic testing of castings is the disclosure of defects that adversely affect the strength of the product. Castings are a product form that often receive radiographic inspection since many of the defects produced by the casting process are volumetric in nature, and are thus relatively easy to detect with this method. These discontinuities of course, are related to casting

  • Preheating is the act of heating the base metal before starting to weld. It is considered very essential in high thickness materials, Cr-Mo Steels & HSLA High Speed Low Alloy steels, etc… Here we are going to answer the below topics What is Preheating ? Why is Preheat Essential ? What is difference between Preheat, interpass temperature and Post weld heat treatment? How

  • We all have probably heard about destructive testing in welding. After all, those of us who are certified welders or work at a place that needs to certify welding procedures, have at one time or another heard about a bend test, or a charpy v-notch test. However, there are several types of non-destructive testing available. As you can imagine, performing destructive testing on

  • We provide services as individualsto the project for the inspection of welding including fit-up inspection, weld visual inspection, line alignment inspection, dimension inspection of the modules. weld visual inspection of steel structure, preheat inspection, PWHT inspection, hydro test inspection, final walk down, punch list preparation, final dossier review. About the project: Satah

  • Visual Inspection (VT) Visual inspection is a non-destructive testing (NDT)weld quality testing processwhere a weld is examined with the eye to determine surface discontinuities. It is the most common method of weld quality testing. Advantages of nondestructive weld quality testing: Inexpensive (usually only labor expense) Low cost equipment No power requirement Quick

  • While using a torch to preheat your welds may seem simple enough to suit your job, is it doing the job correctly?​ Preparing an electrical resistance preheat on a large piece of machinery. Image courtesy of KASI Technologies Inc. Preheating is an important preparatory operation for certain welding jobs. As the name implies, it is the process of raising

  • Industrial Inspection Inspection 4 Industry LLC,Provides Global Industrial Inspection Services. The services covers shop inspection, site inspection and plant inspection. The articles are about different inspection field categories such as shop inspection, site inspection, and in-service inspection requirements. The articles present you applicable codes and standards. There will also

  • Before applying for the detailed PWHT requirements and exemption in these paragraphs, satisfactory weld procedure qualifications of the welding procedures specification to be used shall be performed in accordance with all the essential variables of ASME SECTION IX including conditions of post-weld heat treatment and including other restrictions listed below. While carrying out local post-weld

  • Radiographic Testing (RT)is anondestructive examination (NDE)technique that involves the use of either x-rays or gamma rays to view the internal structure of a component. In the petrochemical industry, RT is often used to inspect machinery, such aspressure vesselsand valves, to detect for flaws. RT is also used to inspect weld repairs. Compared to other NDE techniques,

  • Hydrostatic test Ahydrostatic testis a way in whichpressure vesselssuch aspipelines,plumbing,gas cylinders,boilersand fuel tanks can be tested for strength and leaks. The test involves filling the vessel or pipe system with a liquid, usually water, which may be dyed to aid in visual leak detection, and pressurization of the vessel to the specified

  • Overview of Hydrostatic Testing Hydrostatic (Hydro) Testingis a process where components such aspipingsystems, gas cylinders, boilers, andpressure vesselsare tested for strength and leaks. Hydro tests are often required after shutdowns and repairs in order to validate that equipment will operate under desired conditions once returned to service. Furthermore, hydrostatic

  • Why is preheat sometimes required before welding? Preheating the base material to be welded minimises the temperature difference between the material and the arc, slows the cooling rate in the weld area and reduces the risk of cracking. The need for preheat increases with steel thickness, weld restraint, the carbon/alloy content of the steel, and the diffusible hydrogen of the weld metal. Preheat

  • Induction Heating The most common methods for achieving a more controlled preheat temperature are induction heating and electrical resistance heating. “The equipment used for induction is considerably more expensive than that used for electrical resistance heating,” said Fong. “However it does get your steel hotter quicker. It still offers you much more control than what you
