Butt welds shall not be permitted within bends.

Thinning and departure from circularity limits shall be demonstrated by one of the following methods :

(a) relevant and satisfactory service experience;

(b) a procedure test.

(c) By measurement of 2% of the bends, including the first bend of each shift.

The method selected shall be iiL the option of the manufacturer.

(ii) Thinning on tube bends. Thinning on tube bends shall comply with the fol- lowing :

(a) At any location around the bend extra- dos, the reduction in thickness (in per cent) below the calculated minimum permissible design thickness of the straight tube, except where permitted by (b), shall not exceed :

(c) Where the amount of thinning at any location around the bend extrados on cold formed bends exceeds 25% of the actual thickness of the tube on the straight the bends shall be suitably heat treated. The actual thickness of the same plans as the line of the extrados at each and of the bend.

(iii) Departure from circularity in tube bends. The departure from circularity at the bend apex shall not exceed 10% for bends performed in a single bending operation and 15% for bends which are hot pressed after the primary, bending operation.

The departure from circularity (in per- cent) shall be calculated from :

Dmax = Dmin

X100

D

where

Djnax is the maximum outside diameter measured in the tube bend apex (mm), Dmiti is the minimum outside diameter measured at the same cross section as Dmax (mm)

D is the ordered outside diameter of the tube (in mm).".

6. In the said regulations, in regulation 360, for clause (b), the following shall be substituted, namely:—

"(b) Are welded butt joints of pipes or socket welded joints for pipes, valves and fittings shall be made by metallic shielded are process and post weld heat treated effectively except in the following cases : For Carbon steel—

(i) The nominal wall thickness in case of butt joints does not exceed 20 mm or carbon content does not exceed 0.25%;

(ii) The throat thickness of fillet weld for socket welded joints or other types of joints does not exceed 20 mm or carbon content does not exceed 0.25%.

Nou. In case of carbon content for above cases lies between 0.25°/o < C < 0.30%. the JPWHT is not required for maximum thickness of 9 mm

For Alloj steel :—

(I) In case of 0.5 Molybdenum steel, if the thickness does not exceed 13 mm and outside diamete-r does not exceed 127 mm and for any fillet welds, the throat thick- ness does not exceed 13 mm.

(ii) In case of 1 Chromium and 1/2 Moly- bdenum steel, if the thickness does not exceed 13 mm and outside diameter does not exceed 127 mm and pre-heated to 125°C and for any fillet welds if the throat thickness does not exceed 13 mm.

(iii) In case of 2-1/4 Chromium 1 Moly- bdenum steel, post weld heat threatment is not mandatory under the following conditions :

(1) a maximum specified Chromium content of 3.0%.

(2) a maximum nominal outside diameter of 102 mm.

(3) a maximum thickness of 13 mm.

(4) a maximum specified carbon content of 0.15%.

(5) a minimum pre-heat temperature of 150°C.

(6) a maximum throat thickness of 13 mm in case fillet weld.

Method of Heat Treatment :

(1) For carbon steel, a stress relieving heat treat- ment shall be performed by heating the part to at least 600+20°C

When required by the characteristics of the material, different temperatures may be necessary to obtain proper stress relieving. The part to be stress relieved shall be brought slowly up to the specified temperature and held at that temperature for a period proportionate on the basis of at least 2-1/2 minutes per millimetre of the maximum thickness of the part (approximately one hour per twenty five millimetres of thickness) and shall be left to cool in the furnace to a temperature which, for parts, with thickness greater than 20 millimetres, does not exceed 3 706 GI/2001—2.

4085 400°C. After withdrawal from the furnace, the part shall be allowed to cool in a still atmosphere.

A temperature-time diagram of the stress relieving process shall be provided when the Inspecting Autho- rity requires it.

(2) For alloy steel a stress relieving heat treatment shall be carried out on the basis of the composition of the alloy as shown in the table below :

TABLE

Type of steel Range of temperature

Time at the temperature per 25 mm of thickness of the pi ale

620°C — 650°C 1 hour (1 hr. min.) 1 Cr 1/2 Mo 1/2 Cr 1/2 Mo

min.) 1 Cr 1/2 Mo l.l/4Cr 1/2 Mo

1 hour (1 br.

2.1/4 Cr 1 Mo 625°C — 750°C

min.) Note. This wide range for the post weld heat treat- ment temperature is necessary because of the marked dependence of the mechanical pro- perties of this steel on the tempering tempera- ture. In production a definite temperature with a tolerance of +20°C would be selec- ted to ensure that the mechanical properties upon which, the design was based are in fact achieved.

Htjat treatment shall be carried out by one of the folfowing methods :—

(i) Local heating using portable muffle induction coil or other suitable heating appliance. Particular care shall be taken to apply heat uniformly over the area to be treated. The use of pro- cedure that does not provide adequate control for this purpose, sucn as manual operation of gas torches, is not permissible. The temperature shall be maintained symmetrically over peripheral band of metal of a minimum width of three times the width of the butt- wclcied preparation. The temperature shall be measured by thermocouples pinned, welded or otherwise suitably attached to the surface of the pipe and, where necessary, protected fro flame impingement.

(ii) Heating in stationary furnace :—The temperature of the joint shall be measured by the thermocouples so disposed within -the- furnace as to give a true measure of the joint temperature.

In case the materials made to the forciga codes or standards are accepted under regula- tion 3(2)(i), the method of heat treatment shall conform to that specified in the codes or standards."

7. In the said regulations, in regulation 391 A, in clause (b), after item (u), the follow- ing shall be inserted, namely:-

"Notwithstanding anything contained in this regulation, for boilers working at a pressure less than 50 kg/cm¹, such elaborate remnant life assessment is not mandatory. However, in such cases, drums and headers of such boilers shall be inspected by Ultrasonic; testing, Magnetic particle testing and Dye penetrant test.".

8. In the said regulations, in regulation 592, in clause (j) relating ,to Circular Reversal Chambers, in sub-clause (i), the following shall be added at the end, namely:—

"However, the .design .temperature for reversal „ chamber wrapper jjjlates , shall be determined in accordance with the following equations :—

t = (is + 2e²) or

, (ts + 50) whichever is greater.

where, t = Design temperature (in degree tJenti- grade)

ts = Saturation emperature of water (in degree Centrjgade) at the design pressure, for both steam or hot water boilers,

eg = nominal plate thickness (in mm).'
