1 GENERAL
1.1 Scope
This specification provides particular welding prescriptions for dissimilar

metal piping. Other welding prescriptions are provided in the relevant
welding specifications for each single material.
This specification applies to the following types of materials, that

generally are involved in dissimilar welded joints in plants (in brackets
welding specifications relevant to the single material are indicated).
carbon steel 20368.PIP.MEC.FUN

0,5% molibdenum steel 20372.PIP.MEC.FUN
chromium-molibdenum 20371.PIP.MEC.FUN
austenitic stailess steel 20370.PIP.MEC.FUN
nickel alloys 20375.PIP.MEC.FUN
duplex stainless steels 20373.PIP.MEC.FUN
Combinations between different materials covered by this specification

are listed in Table 1, par. 3.2.
1.2 General considerations
1.2.1 This specification, together with the above mentioned specifications,

are to be considered as an addition to ANSI / ASME B 31.3 or other
required codes, or as a modification thereof in case of conflict (except
for regulations required by law).
1.2.2 In the event of conflict between the various technical documents, the
following order of priority shall apply:
1. any regulations required by law

2. Company drawings and specifications
3. ANSI / ASME B31.1 and B31.3 (or other Code accepted by the
Company)
4. ASME Code Sect. II, V and IX, (or other Code accepted by the
Company)
The edition of the codes and specifications, if not otherwise specified, is

that in force at the date of contract signature.
Page 5 of 15
1.2.3 In the application of the welding specifications and in performance of

weld examinations, the piping class must be considered as indicated on
the relevant isometric drawing, on the line tabulation sheet, or otherwise
specified, according to the document 20367.PIP.MEC.FUN.
As a rule, class 1 covers piping or tube systems in particularly severe
service conditions, classes 2 and 3 cover process piping and other
piping in severe service conditions, class 4 covers normal utilities
(steam excepted) and interconnecting in non-severe service conditions.
1.2.4 On the basis of the prescriptions of the document

06732.PIP.MEC.FUN, a letter may be added to the Piping Project
Specification with the following decoding:
T: post weld heat treatment required for any thickness;
H: hydrogen service;
S: supplementary requirements for “sour” service.
1.2.5 The Contractor may use welding consumables and welding processes
indicated by Company in this specification or, otherwise, he may use
other consumables, processes and WPSs already certified by a
Recognized Third Party, with the prior approval of the Company.
1.3 Definitions
1.3.1 The following terms used in the welding specifications shall be

understood to mean:
• COMPANY: The Company that awards the contract (ENI)

• CONTRACTOR: The Company that has undertaken to perform
the work
• COMPANY’S REPRESENTATIVE: The person entrusted by the
Company with the welding inspection and supervision
• WELDER: A person qualified to carry out welding, using manual,
semiautomatic or automatic process.
1.3.2 For welding terms, the definitions given in ASME Code Sect. IX par.
QW/QB-492 shall apply.
