Execution Methodology
Full metallurgy evaluation ensuring H2S sour service compliance, hardness control, and microstructural integrity.
Procurement strictly from tier-1 approved mills with certified EN 10204 3.2 or 3.1 inspection certificates.
Segregated welding operations with 100% high-purity GTAW root passes and strict interpass temperature logging.
Full NDT examination including 100% RT / PAUT, magnetic particle, and dye penetrant inspection.
Controlled PWHT with automated multi-zone chart recorders.
Hydrostatic testing, internal drying with dry air/nitrogen to dew point < -40°C, and nitrogen blanket preservation.
Quality Control & Traceability
100% PMI verification on all components, hardness testing of production welds and HAZ, Charpy impact testing at design minimum metal temperature (DMMT), comprehensive QA/QC handover dossiers.
Inspection & Testing Regimes
100% RT/PAUT on process welds, Helium leak detection for cryogenic systems, hydrostatic pressure testing up to 1.5x design pressure, positive material identification (PMI).

Frequently Asked Questions
Sour service materials must resist sulfide stress cracking (SSC) and hydrogen-induced cracking (HIC). This requires strict limits on hardness (< 22 HRC), nickel content (< 1%), sulfur content (< 0.002%), and rigorous PWHT to relieve residual welding stresses.
Cryogenic piping (typically SS 304L/316L) undergoes Charpy V-notch impact testing at -196°C, 100% radiographic or phased array ultrasonic testing, liquid nitrogen shrinkage checks, and helium leak testing.
