clause (c), the following shall be substituted, namely :

bent for parts of boilers,

including

economizers, furnace walls, superheaters

and rebeaters, shall comply with this

clause and suitably heat treated.

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.

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

the

straight tube, except where permitted by

(b), shall not exceed :

100

4R+2

where

R is the mean radius of the bend to the

centre line of the tube (in mm).

D is the ordered outside diameter of the

tube (in mm).

(b) Bend thickness below the minimum value

required under (a) shall be permitted in

cases where the manufacturer can demons-

trate by bursting tests carried

out on

at least three bends that the strength of

the bend is not less than that of the

straight tube.

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

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

4085

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

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

pi ale

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

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

manual operation of gas

torches, is not

permissible. The

temperature

shall

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

thermocouples

pinned,

welded

otherwise

suitably

attached to the surface

the pipe

and, where

necessary,

protected

fro

flame impingement.

(ii) Heating in

stationary

furnace

:—The

temperature

the

joint

shall be

measured

the

thermocouples

disposed within -the- furnace as

to give

a true measure of the joint temperature.
