1. SCOPE

1.1 Heat straightening is used for correcting deformations that occur during welding of
constructions. This procedure specifies the manner in which heat straightening can be
carried out and monitored.

1.2 Heat straightening and straightening by mechanical means may only be used on a
case-by-case basis with prior Company approval.

1.3 This procedure is applicable for Baleine Phase 2 FPSO Package.

1.4 This procedure is applicable for carbon steels with maximum temperature 550C.

1.5 Dimensional or straightening corrections after welding by means of local heating are
not allowed for piping. This procedure is applicable only for structural components.

2. Purpose

2.1 To define, monitor and control the method to be used when performing heat
straightening on various welded structures having excessive distortion in order to avoid
deterioration of mechanical properties of material.

3. Definitions

3.1 Neutral Flame: Neutral flame is obtained by burning equal amounts of oxygen and
acetylene (almost exactly one to one ratio) at the tip of a torch. This flame can be
identified by the luminous, well-defined white cone at the torch tip, and fairly long
almost colourless outer envelope, which is blue or orange at its leading edge.

3.2 Oxidising Flame: The oxidizing flame results from burning a mixture which contains
more oxygen than that required for a neutral flame. The outer flame envelope is much
shorter and tends to far out at the end. On the other hand, the neutral and carburizing
envelopes tend to come to a sharp point.

3.3 Reducing Flame: The reducing (or carburizing) flame, is created when the proportion
of acetylene in the mixture is higher than that required to produce the neutral flame. A
reducing flame can be recognized by acetylene feather which exists between the inner
core and the outer envelope. Outer envelope is longer than that of the neutral flame
and is usually much brighter in colour.

3.4 Acetylene: is a hydrocarbon (C2H2). It is a colour less, flammable gas dissolved in a


solvent. It has a garlic-like odour. It is usually combined with oxygen to intensify the
heat of flame.

3.5 Oxygen: is an odourless, tasteless and colourless gaseous element. The principal
property of oxygen is that it will support combustion. It will combine with other
substances in the production of flame.

3.6 Blowpipes: a device for mixing and burning gases to produce a flame for heating
(welding).

3.7 Nozzle: a device that direct gas to flame or for shielding.

3.8 Gas Cylinder: a portable container (under pressure) used for transportation and
storage of a compressed gas.

3.9 Pressure Regulator: a valve which is attached to the cylinder to control the gas
pressure from the cylinder.

5. Responsibility

5.1 Apart from being familiar with this procedure, Heat Straightening activity is mainly
based on hands-on operator experience, and it will require time to gain the skill.
Department Manager will maintain the list of Operators trained and authorized by him
to perform heat straightening.

5.2 It is responsibility of Supervisor in charge to allocate heat straightening work only to the
operator who has the necessary skills and experience. Operator must be well aware of
how the work piece will react to heating and how shrinkage forces can be utilized in the
best manner for straightening.

5.3 It is the responsibility of Supervisor in charge to ensure that methodology described in


this procedure is clearly communicated to operator and strictly adhered to. Also,
Supervisor will communicate to operator all relevant information for specific location
(material grade, supply condition, thickness, dimensional tolerances, flame
characteristics, temperature control, and use of water for cooling).

5.4 It is responsibility of Supervisor in charge to communicate reasonably in advance to


QC Inspector all heat straightening activities for possible surveillance and verification of
adherence to procedure.

7. Principles Of Heat Straightening

7.1 Heat straightening is based on physical principle that metals expand when heated and
contracts when cooled. If expansion is restricted, compressive stresses build up and
result in plastic deformations if temperatures are high enough. Upon cooling, the plastic
deformations remains. Important parameters for heat straightening are material type,
grade and condition of supply, material thickness, coefficient of thermal expansion,
thermal conductivity and level of structure restrain. Based on those inputs following
aspects shall be defined: flame type, nozzle size and number of nozzles, maximum
temperature allowed, flame distance, heating pattern and possible application of
external restrain.

7.2 Since principle of heat straightening is rapid heating of local well-defined section of
structure and bearing in mind natural tendency of immediate heat dissipation due to
thermal conductivity of metals, oxy-acetylene flame is used for this purpose. It is very
important that pure oxygen is used because compressed air or suction air will
drastically reduce speed of heating. Oxygen pressure shall be 4 - 5 bar.

7.3 Flame distance from surface to be heated is very important parameter and shall be
maintained in a required distance to avoid any possible damage of material properties.
In general, contact flame cone shall be used for most of applications or cone max. 4
mm away from the plate surface. Standoff or impinging flame cone can be applied for
some specific applications, after consultation with Welding Engineer.

Fig-8

7.4 The cooling medium and whether accelerated cooling is applied depends on material.
Cooling with water or compressed air after heating does not increase success rate of
straightening operation. It merely accelerates straightening operation. However,
additional cooling of adjacent areas during heating process positively influences
upsetting and enhances the straightening effect. Accelerated cooling may be

performed. (Avoid water flow more than 3l/min. and less than 120mm behind of flame
torch).

7.5 The part to be heated for straightening shall be substantially free of stress and from
external forces, except those stresses resulting from the mechanical straightening
method used in conjunction with the application of heat.

7.6 Temperature control during heat straightening process is one of the most critical
aspects in heat straightening process due to its effect on mechanical properties of
material. Considering relatively high thermal conductivity of all metals, it is very
important to define stages, locations and methods of surface temperature monitoring.
Operator shall continuously monitor the material surface color of heated zone during
the heating process in order to assess current material temperature (refer the color
chart given in the Fig. 13). Direct flame application phase is called short superficial
heating, and, for carbon steels, surface temperature shall be ≤550°C (slightly red
color). After flame is removed from the heated zone, temperature crayons or digital
pyrometers shall be used for temperature measurement.

7.7 If temperature crayons are used, first closest temperature to that maximum allowed
shall be selected, and the crayon should not melt during checking of plate surface
temperature.

7.8 The size of nozzle should be selected according to the thickness and type of material.
Below Table 2 can be used as a guidance:

7.9 Constant progress of the blowpipe at the correct speed for the size of nozzle selected
can be maintained by observation of the heat zones formed by the individual nozzle.
Fig-9 below indicates the desired heat pattern. The gap between the heat zones begins
approx. at 1/3 width of the heat zone itself.

Fig-9

7.10 When the heat input is insufficient the gap between the heat zones is wider than the
width of heat zone and this indicates that the speed is too high, see Fig-10

Fig-10

7.11 When the heat input is excessive the gap between heat zones will not exist with heat
zones overlapping and this indicates that the speed is too low, see Fig-11.

Fig-11
7.12 Heat bands should be approx. 100mm long on a 4 - 6mm thick plate and approx.
250mm long on an 8 - 12mm thick plate.

7.13 The distance between the heat bands should be approx. 100mmm to 250mm
depending upon the plate thickness.

8.7 Continuously monitor the colour of the heated zone surface, advance the flame when
the metal surface becomes slight - red.

8.8 Continue heating in this manner along the complete length of the pre-determined line.

8.9 Avoid stopping until the work is completed.

9. HEAT STRAIGHTENING GOLDEN RULES:

9.1 Check the admissible deviations in the specification before starting heat straightening.

9.2 Define ‘points of reference’ on the structure.

9.3 Heat straightening should not start until all the welds are completed.

9.4 Heat straightening should start with areas with lowest distortions in structure.

9.5 Apply the heat as quickly as possible to localize thermal expansion.

9.6 When plates are hot, the distortions will be higher than the initial value. Wait for the
temperature to get reduced before starting a new heating. Measure the effect of
straightening only after complete cooling to ambient temperature.

9.7 Follow the heating patterns on the structure.

9.8 Continue straightening if needed by heating intermediate points.

9.9 Heat Straightening shall be completed before final NDT. NDT Report becomes invalid if
heat straightening is applied and must be repeated.

9.10 Heat Straightening is not recommended after final dimensional control is completed. It
can affect validity of previously completed measurements even at the distance from
heat straightening location.

9.11 Heat Straightening shall not be done after completion of PWHT.

9.12 Being heavier in nature, propane shall not be used in closed areas.

9.13 Single nozzle torches are generally used with propane and acetylene, multiple nozzle
torches are generally used with acetylene considering consumptoin of oxygen with
propane is higher as described in Table 1.

10. Typical Examples

10.1 Straightening of plates.

10.1.1 Different constructions with varying deformations require different straightening


methods. It is not possible therefore to define specific method of application in all cases.
External factors such as residual stress due to rolling, thermal cutting and welding greatly
affect the results of straightening.

10.1.2 Begin by straightening the plate directly above the stiffeners. Always locate one of
the flames directly above the stiffener, while the remaining flames are displaced according to
the type of deformations in the surrounding plate.

10.1.3 The following examples illustrate the location of the blowpipes. In this case (Fig-14)
the plate has been symmetrically deformed on both sides of the stiffener either upwards (+) or
downwards (-). The blowpipe is then located symmetrically with one flame on either side of
the stiffener, despite the fact that this is the concave side of the stiffener.

10.1.7 In Fig-18 middle portion of plate is not deformed. In this case, the operator should
apply the blowpipe eccentrically while carefully observing how the plate reacts to the heating.
If the plate drops down, the blowpipe must be returned to the normal position with the center
flame directly over the stiffener.

10.1.9 In cramped areas (Fig-20 below) the blowpipe can be displaced by half the distance
between the flames line 3 and 4 – since heating the same area twice is not recommended.
Also ensure that there is space between the heat bands during the second straightening.
Otherwise, the stiffener may bend out.

10.2.7 If there are any sections where the upper part in convexly distorted and the lower
part is concavely distorted, straightening should be done in accordance with fig-26 a), b), c),
d).
First, the part that is convexly distorted is straightened from the outside (1 and 2).
The lower part is then heated from the inside (3 and 4). Observe that the heating bands on
both the outside and the inside form a common pattern and that heating is executed from the
convex side of the plate.

Whether the final heating (5) in the transitional area between (+) to (-) are to be done from the
outside or the inside must be determined in each individual case. Heating shall be carried out
from the convex side which means from outside. In this case, the blowpipe shall be moved
upwards. If head is applied from the inside the blowpipe is moved in the opposite direction.

10.2.8 Prominent buckles are difficult to straighten. If the blowpipe is applied in the manner
as described below in Fig-27 and Fig-28 the buckles will be extended, thereby lowering their
rigidity.

10.2.9 Here the flame is applied in the middle of the buckles and directed forward. This will
preheat the material over a large area and the plate will then rise towards the flame (in
forward direction).

10.2.10 After the buckle has been extended in one direction, the blowpipe is directed at the
middle and the buckle is extended in the other direction. The buckle then loses its rigidity and
becomes easier to straighten.

10.2.11 For plates approx. 12mm thick or more, it is usually sufficient to treat only the
angular deformation. If the stiffeners are thick and the angular deformation is not too great, a
five-flame torch is used. In this case also, the length of the heat bands shall be approx. 250 –
350mm. If the initial heating pass is not sufficient to straighten the deformation, further
heating may be required between first heat bands.

10.2.12 Fig-29 below shows how a plate with stiffeners, butt weld and having thickness of
12mm is straightened.

10.2.13 First the plate surrounding stiffeners 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6 is straightened using a five-
flame blowpipe. Due to the extreme deformation at stiffener 5, only a three-flame blowpipe
was used there, since a five-flame blowpipe could make the deformation worse. After the first
heating pass, it was apparent that insufficient straightening had been obtained around the
butt weld. Therefore, continuous heat bands were applied over stiffeners 1 and 2.
Straightening was further increased by using hacks to lift the butt weld form the inside and
using wedges on the outside.

10.2.14 For plates approx. 6mm thick three-flame torch should be used and the heat bands
should be approx. 100 – 150mm long.

10.3 Heat straightening (bending) of beams.

➢ Apply heat on the side of the object which


needs to be shortened. (THE HOT SIDE IS
THE SHORT SIDE).

➢ Maximum bending is usually obtained with a


30 triangle that runs from the outside edge of
the short side.

➢ Use chalk to mark the triangle. Initially use a


10 to 15 pie-shaped segment to get started,
and work up to wider angles when the results
are observed.

➢ Use a neutral oxyacetylene flame and stay


within the marked triangle. Move the torch
continuously along the heating path slowly
enough to heat the metal under it to a dull red
(in subdued light, not under direct sunlight)
before moving on. Do not exceed temperature
550C.

➢ The cool, unheated metal in the bottom of


work piece on the inside of the bend acts as a
hinge.
