FPSO piping

Overview

The project was a new build FPSO ( Oil & Gas) in South Korea. The material was used super duplex stainless steel (UNS 32760). The biggest challenge was the shortest lead time with highest quality welding consumables complying Impact requirement of 80J @ -50 deg C and Corrosion test ASTM G48 Method A , No pitting and maximum weight loss of 4gm/m2 at 40 deg C after 24 hrs. In the project ER2594 consumable delivery lead time was only 2 weeks or maximum 15 days with quantity requirements of 12MT. Welding Alloys China made a very good progress with the OEM supplier who managed to draw and produce this entire 12 tons welding wires in 14 days and managed to deliver the goods in Korea on time along with the mechanical and corrosion testing. Customer was very happy with the quality and on time delivery for their successfully completion of the project. Our biggest competitor was Korean manufacturing like Hyundai & Kiswel, but even being a Korean company in Korea they were not been able to deliver the welding consumables within 2 weeks.
