ASTM A234 - Material inspection and review MTC

Scopes ASTM A234: specification for piping fitting of wrought carbon steel and alloy steel for moderate and high-temperature service. Ordering information and general requirement sees ASTM A960. Material __Killed steel, forging, bars, plates, seamless or fusion-welded tubular product with filler added. “fusion-welded tubular with filler added: SAW, GTAW (filler add), GMAW”. MTC shall be cleared marking specification number, grades and date. __If product comply another standard like, the MTC shall be stated test value, “ex. NACE MR 0175, MTC shall state hardness value, forming and heat treatment, read more in NACE MR0175 part 1, 2, 3. Manufacture __Forging or shaping operation by cold and hot forming. __NDE may be performed either prior to or after forming on welded product. __NDE reports must state in the MTC and available review by purchase. Heat treatment __Heat treatment shall be performed after forming, see para. 7 on ASTM A960 __ASTM A234 WPB most finished by normalizing, Annualiz...

Bolt torque calculation ASME PCC-1 2019

Bolt torque calculation, lubrication factor, and nut factor to be determined in Appendix K of ASME PCC-1 2019. See formula (K-1) or (K-1M). Check flange rate and bolt size in Table L-1. Bolt stress determination in Appendix O. Normally bolt stress is approximately of 40-60% of yield strength, example ASTM A193 B7 – yield strength is 105ksi --> target bolt stress of 60% YS = 105*0.6 = 63ksi = 63x1000 = 63000 psi. Don’t worry no need to find  root areas, bolt size and K factors . See Table O-3.2-1. Calculation target bolt torque Tb – see note (b) of Table O-3.2-1 (ft-lb). Example , See Table O-3.2-1 for Flange NPS ½”, nut factor K=0.2 (k=0.2), bolt material ASTM A193 B7 (check yield strength in Table 2 of ASME SA-193 2019 --> Bolt stress = 105 60/100 = 63ksi) => Tb = 63 1.05 = 66 ft-lb. Next double check determination of bolt stress see example O-4.3 in ASME PCC-1 2019. SI Unit see Table O-3.2-1M.

ITP - "H" Hold Point & "W" Witness Point

H và W là hai điểm quan trọng trong ITP (Inspection and Test Plan) bạn phải thông báo cho các bên để kiểm tra, chứng kiến trước khi chuyển sang bưới tiếp sau: " H " - Hold Point " W " - Witness Point Điểm "H" sẽ yêu cầu cao hơn điểm "W" (để hiểu rõ thì đọc các định nghĩa trong ITP): "H" - yêu cầu các bên phải xác nhận trước khi chuyển bước sau, trong trường hợp Khách hàng và đại diện không có mặt thì nhà sản xuất phải đợi để xác nhận. "W" - yêu cầu các bên phải xác nhận, nhưng không nhất thiết phải dừng công việc. Hai điểm trên, đối với tình hình đại dịch Khách hàng không tham gia chứng kiến thì sao? Bạn có thể lựa chọn video call với điều kiện gửi thông báo (NOI) đúng lịch và xác nhận với Khách hàng. Trường hợp điểm "W" nhưng khách hàng không tham gia được thì sao? Cty phải kiểm tra đúng và xác nhận kết quả cho Khách hàng, không cần phải Holding đến khi khách hàng đến chứng kiến. Do đó, lúc xây dựng ITP anh em nên...
