solid wires only) consistent with good weldability
Note: 1. Applicable for P-No.5A welding consumables only.
• To minimise weld metal inclusion and oxygen content, which may have
a detrimental effect on toughness and creep rupture strength, only
‘basic’ type fluxes (BI greater than 1.8) shall be permitted for submerged
arc welding and only basic type flux coatings shall be permitted for
SMAW processes
• Step cool screening test shall be performed on the welding procedure

qualification test pieces in accordance with paragraph 8.2.2 when this
requirement is specified for the base materials in accordance with
Engineering Standard 8474L-000-CN-0008-005.
6.7.2 Weld metal consumable composition for 9Cr-1Mo-Nb-V steels shall be

optimised to provide welds with good toughness and creep strength.

consumables proposed to PetroVietnam for review and approval prior to the
commencement of welding. SAW flux-wire combinations shall meet the
requirements of paragraph 6.3.4
6.7.3 For welding Ni-bearing steels, welding consumables shall nominally match the
base material chemistry. Only low hydrogen type consumables capable of
consistently achieving the required notch toughness levels of the base
materials shall be selected. Proposals to use 300 series stainless steel or Ni-
base consumables shall be submitted, together with substantiating design

(2)
Bismuth 0.002% max. (applicable to SMAW, SAW and FCAW processes
only)
Notes: 1. Type E308H-16 SMAW electrodes are preferred as rutile flux coatings transfer small amounts
of strong carbide formers such as Ti, Nb, V) across the arc which improves the creep properties
of the weld. Types 308CRE and 16-8-2 weld consumables show improved creep properties
and good long-term microstructural stability and are also acceptable. Type 316/316H
consumables shall not be substituted for Type 308/308H consumables without specific
PetroVietnam review and approval. Alternative consumables shall be submitted to
PetroVietnam for review and approval.
8474L - 000 JSS 6300 001 1 17 / 69
2. Bi2O3 is sometimes added to SMAW and FCAW fluxes to improve slag detachability. This may
result in low melting point oxides remaining in the weld metal that may reduce creep ductility
and impact properties.
6.7.5 For welding 300 series stainless steel, consumables shall be specified and
procured to ensure a minimum level of delta ferrite in the weld metal, taking
account of dilution with the base material, to minimise the risk of fissuring or
hot-cracking. The minimum ferrite level shall be in accordance with paragraph
12.3.4.3.
6.7.6 For welding duplex steels, consumables shall be specified and procured to
ensure that the deposited weld metal matches the mechanical and corrosion

maintained in the range 30-70FN. Carbon and nitrogen shall be limited to
0.03% and 0.015% respectively. Heat input should be limited to 0.8-2kJ/mm,
consistent with achieving acceptable mechanical and corrosion resistant
properties. The use of Ni-base consumables shall be subject to PetroVietnam
review and approval.
6.7.7 Cracking due to poor creep ductility of the base materials and weld metal may
be a concern in welded Type 321and 347 materials operating above 427°C
and Type 316H materials operating above 470°C, or where these materials
are subject to PWHT/stabilising heat treatment. To minimise the risk of HAZ
or weld metal cracking, the following requirements shall be met:
• When the throat thickness of the weld exceeds 25.4mm, the first 6mm of
deposited weld metal in contact with the process fluid shall be welded
with Type 347 or 316H consumables as appropriate. Thereafter, the
weld shall be completed using a more creep ductile consumable such as
Type 308 or 16-8-2. When the throat thickness of the weld is 25mm or
less, the weld may be completed with the same type of consumable as
used for the first 6mm of weld. Alternative proposals shall be submitted
to PetroVietnam for review and approval
• Weld cap pass shall be ground to a smooth profile to minimise stress

raisers at the weld toes
• 100% radiography and dye penetrant examination shall be performed

after welding or after PWHT/re-stabilising heat treatment if this is
applicable
• Bismuth shall be limited to less than 0.002% in SMAW, SAW and FCAW
deposited weld metal
6.7.8 Ni-base consumables directly exposed to high temperature H2S or H2/H2S

reducing environments (refer to Engineering Standard 8474L-000-CN-0008-
005) with maximum operating temperature exceeding 400°C shall have a Cr
content greater than or equal to 20%.
6.7.9 Type ERNiCr-3, ERNiCrCoMo-1, ENiCrFe-2 or ENiCrCoMo-1 consumables

are acceptable for welding Alloy 800/800H materials with a maximum
operating temperature up to 760°C. Type ENiCrFe-3 SMAW consumables
may also be used for maximum operating temperatures up to 550°C. To
minimise the risk of in-service, low creep ductility cracking, the
Titanium+Aluminium level in the consumables shall be less than 0.7wt%.
8474L - 000 JSS 6300 001 1 18 / 69
6.7.10 Type ERNiCrMo-3 or ENiCrMo-3 consumables can suffer long term

embrittlement of the weld metal due to precipitation of carbides and secondary
phases in the temperature range 538°C-870°C. The use of these
consumables is therefore not permitted for pressure retaining welds or
attachment welds to pressure retaining components with a maximum
operating temperature in this range. Alternative welding consumables shall be
submitted for PetroVietnam review and approval prior to commencement of
welding.
6.7.11 Welding consumables for welding Alloy 800 materials in NH4HS environments

12.3.4.3, two additional tests shall be performed on the failed weld. If these
two additional tests meet the requirements, the weld shall be considered
acceptable. If the two tests fail to meet the requirements, the Contractor shall
remove the unacceptable weld completely and re-weld it.
13. REPAIRS AND RECTIFICATION
13.1 Any unacceptable flaws found during NDE shall be repaired in accordance
with an approved repair procedure submitted in accordance with Engineering
Standard 6960-8440-SP-0007.
13.2 Wherever possible, unacceptable flaws shall be removed by grinding or

machining. Arc-air gouging is permitted subject to the restrictions in
paragraph 7.3.6.
13.3 Where removal of a flaw requires subsequent welding to reinstate the required
throat thickness, the repair cavity shall be contoured to permit access for
welding followed by 100% examination by MT or PT. A qualified welder using
a properly qualified WPS shall perform the repair weld. Normally, only SMAW
or GTAW shall be used to make the repair weld.
13.4 Following welding, the repair area shall be subject to 100% NDE using the
same technique(s) as used to detect the flaw initially. Only two repairs at the
same location for carbon, low alloy, 300 and 400 series stainless steels, and
one repair at the same location for all other materials, shall be permitted,
thereafter the complete weld shall be removed and re-welded.
13.5 Contractor shall fully record all repairs and rectification work and provide
evidence for PetroVietnam review and approval that all required NDE and
production tests have been performed.

Notes: 1. The description of the weld types is based on ASME Section I and ASME Section VIII. For equipment
designed and fabricated to BS 5500, the equivalent weld types as shown in Figure 5.6-1 of BS 5500
shall apply in determining the extent of NDE
2. Required only where design of Category D weld or support weld permits the use of RT (e.g. ASME
Section VIII, UW-16.1 (f-1) through (f-4). Where design does not permit RT, UT shall be substituted in
lieu of RT
3. Based on support weld joint efficiency of 1. Where a lower joint efficiency is used in the design of the
support weld, 100% MT or PT shall be substituted in lieu of RT or UT
4. For equipment in wet H2S, amine, caustic and deaerator service, all internal welds including pressure
retaining, attachment and repair welds, shall be subject to 100% WFMT in accordance with paragraph
12.2.7 after PWHT. For deaerator storage vessels, in addition to the weld types above, the internal area
opposite any external attachment or repair welds shall be subject to 100% WFMT.
5. All dissimilar metal welds shall be subject to 100% RT and 100% MT or 100% PT. Where the design
precludes the use of RT, UT may be substituted in lieu of RT, subject to PetroVietnam review and
approval
6. UT of these materials presents difficulties in interpretation due to the anisotropic microstructure.

Contractor shall submit a procedure detailing additional measures to overcome this difficulty, based on
the recommendations in IIW publication ‘Handbook on the Ultrasonic Examination of Austenitic Welds’
8474L - 000 JSS 6300 001 1 48 / 69
7. The specified NDE method shall be performed after PWHT (where applicable) with the following
exceptions:
• Carbon steel (t ≤ 50mm) - RT and UT may be performed prior to PWHT providing MT as specified is
performed after PWHT
• Carbon steels (t > 50mm), low alloy steels and Ni-bearing steels - RT may be performed prior to
PWHT providing the specified UT and MT is performed after PWHT. In this case, UT shall be
performed using instruments which are capable of providing a permanent, digitised &/or hard copy
record of the complete weld length scanned. This record shall be provided as part of the equipment

2. Required only where the design of branch weld permits (e.g. ASME B31.3, Figure 328.5.4E)
3. PetroVietnam reserves the right to instruct Contractor to perform RT on a maximum of 5% of socket

welds, to ensure a minimum gap of 1.6mm exists between the pipe and socket
4. UT may be substituted for RT where it is impractical to obtain an interpretable radiograph, subject to

PetroVietnam review and approval
8474L - 000 JSS 6300 001 1 50 / 69
5. UT of 300 series stainless steels and Cu-base and Ni-base alloys presents difficulties in interpretation
due to the anisotropic microstructure. Contractor shall submit a procedure detailing additional measures
to overcome this difficulty. UT procedures shall be based on the recommendations in IIW publication
‘Handbook on the Ultrasonic Examination of Austenitic Welds’
6. In principle, NDE shall be performed after PWHT (if applicable) with the following exceptions:
• Carbon steel and low alloy steel (t > 19mm) – RT may be performed prior to PWHT providing the
specified UT and MT are performed after PWHT. In this case, UT shall be performed using
instruments which are capable of providing a permanent, digitised &/or hard copy record of the
complete weld length scanned. This record shall be provided as part of the piping test pack records.
Proposals to use enhanced UT techniques, such as Time-of-Flight-Diffraction (TOFD), shall be
submitted to PetroVietnam for review and approval prior to the commencement of any inspection.
7. At all locations where temporary attachment welds have been removed, 100% MT shall be applied to ensure
that no surface breaking flaws are present

APPENDIX 1: FERROXYL TESTING SOLUTION
The test solution is made up by dissolving 7g of potassium ferricyanide and 4.5ml of nitric
acid (65% conc.) in 214ml of distilled water. The test solution deteriorates in a few days,
becoming cloudy, and shall therefore be used within one day of being made up.
The test may be performed in either of two ways:
• Soak a filter paper in the solution and apply this to the surface under examination,
ensuring good contact over the whole area.
• Swab or spray the whole surface to be tested. It may be beneficial to increase the
viscosity of the test solution applied by this method, by the addition of iron-free gelatin
(or similar agent). This is acceptable providing Contractor demonstrates that the
presence of the gelatin does not interfere with the sensitivity of the test by performing
comparative tests on samples of the material under test with and without the addition
of the gelatin.
The surface under test shall be considered unacceptable if a blue colouration develops
within five minutes of the application of the test solution to the surface. Where this occurs,
Contractor shall remove the source of contamination and re-apply the test solution until no
blue colouration is apparent

NOTE :
1. Where the extend of NDE is stated as 5% or 10%, this is defined as 100% examination of 1 in 20 or 1 in 10 respectively, of the weld joints indicated.
2. Required only where the design of branch weld permits (e.g ASME B31.3, Figure 328.5.4E)
3. PetroVietnam reserves the right to instruct Contractor to perform RT on a maximum of 5% of socket welds, to ensure a minimum gap of 1.6 mm exists between the pipe and socket
4. UT may be substituted for RT where it is impractical to obtain an interpretable radiograph, subject to PetroVietnam review and approval.
5. UT of 300 series stainless steels and Cu-base and Ni-base alloys presents difficulties in interpretation due to the anisotropic microstructure. Contractor shall submit a procedure detailing additional measures
to overcome this difficulty. UT procedures shall be based on the recommendations in IIW publication 'Handbook on the Ultrasonic Examination of Austenitic Welds".
6. In principle, NDE shall be performed after PWHT (if applicable) with the following exceptions :
Carbon steel and low alloy steel (t>19mm) - RT may be performed prior to PWHT providing the specified UT and MT are performed after PWHT. In this case, UT shall be performed using instruments
which are capable of providing a permanent, digitised &/or hard copy record of the complete weld length scanned. This record shall be provided as part of the piping test pack records.
