AWS ASO. ‘ASME B31.1, B313 APIRP 582 ‘A545.6-44-0005-7401 Specification for Piping Materials .A545.6-44-0012 General specification for Piping 6-77-001 REV-4 Specification for welding of pressure piping, Equipment for Examination ‘The equipment uilized for examination shall be Fevtscope MP 30 or equivalent, Non= destructive measurement of ferrite conteat in ange of 3 to 8% in the weld metal Fe ot 0-110, |WRC suitable for both austenitic & duplex steels and suitable to measure onsite works. Procedure ‘+ All ferrite content measurements shall be subjected to examination under witness by Client / Client inspector where applicable at any reasonable time an place during fabrication and installation works, Ferrite content test shal be cated out by tained / experienced person, ‘+ Repair Ferrite content test shall be cated out in shop as well sin fabrication fed ‘The extent of examination shall be as per governing document in iu ofthe reference document.

No continuous ferte network shall be preset. 70) Surface Preparation The surface shall feature & metalic smooth surface in order to eliminate erroneous measurements brought about by extraneous materials. 112 The sutface shall be prepared using emery paper or by stale means to ensure the material thickness isnot reduced below design thickness 80) Inspection & Test Plan for Repair of Weld Joint 81. The fevte measurement instrument is used with small handheld probe to provide the ‘means {0 quick and exact non-destructive onsite measurerent offerte content 8.2 The fertscope works onthe magnetic inductive prinipl, whereby the ferrite content is obtained from the magnetic permeability 83. The measurements are independent of ucuating material conductivity for claddings over 3 mmm thick of substrate properties. Tin oxide layers hav litle effet on the measurements ‘Note: Measurement of PWHT joints will be done before petfrming PWHT as per APIRP 582 9.0) Reporting Report of ferrite content measurement shall contain the Following as + Client = sometie Drawing No. Item ID Projet = Weld No. _ J0bNo. = Equipment Deails Report No. = Calibration Ref Standard Date of Test, = Teshnician’s Name & Signature : XY / ‘ cS) [Remain ROO PROCEDURE FOR: se a FERRITE TEST ee Sots Location of Test 10.0) Evaluation of Resa Ferrite est results ae given in Ferite numbers or in fete percentage. Ferrite mumber is almost equivalent ofeste percentage up to 10, however it shows significant deviation ater that. So direst correlation is not recommended to conver fervte numder to ferrite percentage. ‘Approximate ferite percentage or numbers can be calculated from the chemical composition of the relevant material by using the Chromium equivalent of Nzkel equivalent formula forthe respective diagrams and can be used fo estimating the ferrite peoentage or fette number. Acceptance Criteria Stainless Steel Welding Material types tobe tested-304/304L, 316/316L, SS317L, and S321 (P8) Unless otherwise specified, for mateals requiring PWHT or materials in high- temperature service (AME BPVC Section I, Part D, Table A-360), the ferrite number (PN) fo the deposited weld metal should not exceed 10FN measure prior to PWHT. The minimum FN for deposited weld metal should be 3 FN exeept forthe following (FN shull be measured prior to PWHT:) "> When joining sinless secs for eryogene service, non-magnetic applications, oF special corrosive service, weld deposits with lower FN may be required, 1 The FN for 16-8-2 weld deposits shal be 1-5FN, © When austenitic stainless steel type FCAW weld materials are exposed to temperatures above 1000°F (538°C) during fabrication andor during service: "> Materials shall have a maximum FN of 8 FN Duplex Stainless Steel ‘When qualifying the POR. ferte content shall be messured cr base metal, HAZ, and weld metal: Ferrite content in thes locations shall be 30% to 65%.
