PREN shall be 31 or heigher , one analysis per lot shall be made.

PREN=Cr+3.3(Mo+0.5W)+16N
Nitrogen (N) shall ne restricted to 0.14-0.2% range

The Material shall meet the NACE MR0175/ISO 15156 requirement.

The heat treatment shall be solution annealed and water quenched. Heat treatmnent
chart/records with proper traceability to the heat and heat lot shall be included with the fin
material Test certification.

sample for testing shall be realistically reflecting the properties of the actual component.
Thickness of the test block(T) shall be equal to the thickness of the actual component up to
maximum thickness of 100mm. For flanges components the latgest flange thickness shall b
considerd as test block/
Test Specimen shall be cut from the 1/4 T location from the surface where T is the
thickness of the block
Test block shall be intigrally cast or gated on the casting and shall not be removed from
the castings until after the final quality heat treatment.

One set of impact test,tensile test,hardness test and microstructure examination shall be
carried out for each heat and heat treatment load. A test lot shall not exceed 5000kgs.

Microstructure examination shall be carried out at the same area as location of specimen fo
mechanical testing. The specimen size shall be minimum 10x10 mm,and ferrite content sh
be determined according to ASTM E562 and shall be within 35-55%. The microstructure as
examined at 200X and 400X magnification on a suitably eatched specimen in accordance
with ASTM A923,shall be free from intermetallic phase and precipitates.

Corrosion test per heat shall be carried out at 22+/-1Deg.C as per ASTM G48 Method A. No
pttting allowed at 20X and weight loss shall not exceed 4 gm/sq.mt.

15

Ferrite scope reading shall be taken for each fitting at a minimum of four equally spaced
location around circumference at the thickest section.

For weld repairs the following supplementry requirements apply to ASTM A890 S
The definations for major and minor repaires shall be considered same as S33.
Welding procedures for both major and minor shall be sumitted for Company's approval
prior to carrying out repairs;
The repair welding procedure qualification shall include the following:
Qualified on the same grade (UNS-Number) of material as the product;
Change of specific make og filler metal(brand name) requires re-qualification;
Examination of microstructure of base metal,and weld zone. The ferrite content shall be
35-55% for the base metal and 25-60% for the weld metal/HAZ.

Charpy V-notch testing as specified at (3) above, with three sets each of 3 specimens,wit
