Annex C or API S74 Table I Pipe Schedules ending in “5” (Le, 10S) refers to Stainless Steel (SS) pipe schedule chart. The SS ‘charts are not shown in BI6.5 or API 574, During projects & repairs, new pipe is ordered. Inspectors should measure the wall thickness of new pipe to determine ifthe thickness meets minimum code requirements, Minimum Thickness for New Seamless Pipe The tolerance for seamless is -12.5%. This means it can be 12.5% thinner than what is listed in the pipe schedule. Or, the pipe has to be at least 87.5% as thick as the nominal thickness. Since our UT instruments measure wall thickness, we need to know the minimum allowed thickness. Here's the formula: typ yy = 0-875 3 bm ‘Example: — Determine minimum wail thickness of a new 6 NPS seamless pipe. From pipe schedule chart: yoy = 0.280" Immnow = 0.875 x 0.280 = 0.245" New pipe below 0.245" is rejectable! Minimum Thickness for New Welded Pipe Since the mill tolerance for rolled and welded pipe is - 0.010", this is much easier to calculate, Here's the formula: tyin yew = ton 0-010 e Example: — Determine minimum wall thickness of a new 6 NPS welded pipe. From pipe schedule chart: thy = 0.280" yun new = 9.280 - 0.010 = 0.270 New pipe below 0.270" is rejectable!

Thermal expansion! If there is not a ‘gap, and if pipe grows more than the socket welded fitting, then the fillet weld may crack. How could this occur? 1. During fabrication: If the pipe wall is thinner than the SW fitting, then the pipe will become hotter than the fitting during welding 2. Hot services: Ifthe line is uninsulated, the socket will not heat up as much as the Pipe. 3. Hot eyclic conditions During in-service inspections using profile RT, occasionally a SW fitting is found without a gap. If this pipe has withstood the “test of time”, usually there is no reason to repair and add “the gap”. However, if operating temperature or cyclic conditions increase, then discuss this situation with a pressure equipment engineer.

The bolts! The bolts are like monster springs. As the nuts are tightened, the bolts stretch. This creates a squeeze on the gasket. Ifthere is not enough “stretch”, then there is not enough “squeeze” and the gasket will leak. Also, the pressure from the process creates a force trying to pull apart the flanges. If the force from the process exceeds the bolt force (squeeze), the flange will leak. > < F, BOLTS € > Fprocess re —— Aleak occurs when Fprocess > Fours API S70 Certification - Copyright MSTS 10Piping Components.

When cooled, they shrink L = A metal's strength decreases with Increasing temperatures Y How Distortion Occurs ~~ 1. The are is initiated. 2. Hot surface expands & distorts the plate essai te hts iach 7d weaker than the coo! side 3. Completed weld, as heat moves away from weld. Weld contracts 4. Completed weld is distorted é has residual stresses Notes! Stresses from Welding 1) When we apply heat in a non-uniform method (welding) the result is a dimensional change causing the part to be distorted or warped 2). The Principle - As the metals cool they shrink. A CS weld that is %” wide will shrink about 10 mils. + The base metal is “anchored”. As the weld shrinks, the base pulls the cooling weld. (Tensile Stress) + At higher temperatures, the weld metal is weak and ductile. It can be pulled and reshaped to account for shrinkage. + At low temperature, the weld metal is stronger and less ductile. It is not easily “reshaped” + Remaining pull on the weld once cool - “Residual Stresses” + If Residual Stresses exceed, strength of weld ~ Crack 3) Residual stresses can be reduced or eliminated by: + Preheat + Thermal heat treatment + Peening — pneumatic hammer used to pound on welds, e.g. jitterbug API 570 Certification - Copyright MSTSDppe of equipment API 570 Certification - Copyright MSTSExercise 31.3 - Pipe Fabrication Preheat & PWHT Y Preheating (330) ® Used to minimize detrimental effects caused from welding ® Preheat temperatures; Use Table 330.11 " Preheat zone shall extend at least 1" from toe of weld Y Post Weld Heat Treating (331) = Used to relieve detrimental effects caused from welding * PWHT temperatures: Use Table 331.1.1 " PWHT zone shall extend at least 1" from toe of weld © Partial HT: Minimum overlap of I" ™ Local HT: Full circumference " Hardness Testing: + rete 104 of Furnace wel, 10% ffl welts Brinell Hardness Testing Pre-Heat and PWHT!!

Note that Sr/$ will always be > 1.0. If greater than 1.0, then the pipe will be tested at a pressure higher than 1.5 x Py. A pipe will always be tested at or near ambient temperatures. But at ambient temperature, a material is stronger than at some elevated temperature. So, for pipe that is designed for elevated temperatures, Sr/$ adjusts the test pressure upward, recognizing that the material is stronger at test temperature.

What document must each Owner User have? QA Inspection/Repair manual 3. Who is responsible for implementing an effective MOC process? Owner/User 4, During repairs and alterations, who is responsibility for Quality Control? The Repair Organization 5. What are the 4 primary responsibilities of the Inspector? “A TIE” A Assurance T Testing I Inspection E Examination 6. Who must evaluate and accept all NDE results? Authorized Inspector Since 50% of the API exam questions come from API 570, it is VERY important that you master this code. Outlining is a great way to learn. Here's a sample outline of Section 1 & 4 to help you get started We do not provide a complete outline of API 570, Making your brain process data and think, is one secret that improves memorization skills. Looking at someone else's outline is easy, but it doesn't make your brain work. Creating your own outline causes ‘your brain to work and improves your memory. It will teke about 6 hours to read and outline APT 570, but it's time well spent.
