Executive Summary

Butterfly Valve #4 was inspected in accordance with the statement of work (SOW) using visual inspection (VT), magnetic particle testing (MT), and phased array ultrasonic testing

(PAUT).

In general, it was possible to prepare the surfaces of the of the upstream and downstream welds adequately to assess the condition of the welds with visual testing (VT), magnetic particle (MT) testing, and phased array ultrasonic testing (PAUT).

The exception was the circumferential weld that joined the two disc halves. The surface corrosion on this weld prevented VT, MT, and PAUT over almost the entire weld. In addition to the surface of the circumferential welds, the advanced corrosion and coating blistering was observed up to 6 inches into the shell surface. Upon conclusion of the

Butterfly Valve # 4 inspection, the condition of the circumferential weld is largely unknown and may pose the most risk to the continued safe operation of the valve due to this uncertainty. Only a total of 29” of the circumferential weld were scanned with PAUT with no weld discontinuities detected. The remainder of the circumferential weld was not inspected due to advanced corrosion and surface roughness.

The upstream and downstream valve welds were inspected visually for fabrication related cracks, weld/base metal fusion, craters, undercut and porosity. No observable fabrication related defects were noted. The upstream and downstream valve welds were inspected for in-service fatigue and corrosion related defects. No in-service related fatigue cracks were detected.

The upstream and downstream valves were inspected with PAUT per the statement of work. Most areas that were scanned had tightly adhered coating that permitted adequate transfer of ultrasound into the valve shell. Weld discontinuities were sized using the 6-dB sizing technique in the length and height direction.

The upstream side contained 17 weld discontinuities longer than 1” and the upstream side contained 4 weld discontinuities with a height greater than 0.375”. The most severe discontinuity, a lack of penetration, was found in weld S8a with a length of 23.303” and a height of 0.372”.

The downstream side contained 16 weld discontinuities longer than 1” and the upstream side contained 1 weld discontinuity with a height greater than 0.375”. The most severe discontinuity was found in H1 with a length of 2.074” and a height of 0.408”.

ii

The following recommendations are presented for the next major valve maintenance event:

1. Circumferential weld: Remove lead paint with industry standard practices, blast to bare metal, and clean the circumferential weld and shell to at least 6 inches radially from the valve OD. Perform detailed VT, MT, and PAUT. Apply new coating system to these areas after inspection.

2. Welds and shell with corrosion and blistering: Remove lead paint with industry standard practices, blast to bare metal, and clean all welds on which coating breakdown and corrosion were observed and perform a detailed inspection in accordance with AWS D1.1. Additional welds may need to be considered at the time of the maintenance event. Apply new coating system to these areas after inspection.

3. Re-asses risk matrix color-coded red welds after abatement, blasting, and cleaning: Perform encoded PAUT to more accurately locate and size the weld discontinuities. Apply new coating system to these areas after inspection. Re-assess possible repair action after new sizing data is made available. Determine if discontinuity has grown and, if so, repair immediately.

4. For all welds with intermittent weld discontinuities: Remove lead paint with industry standard practices, blast to bare metal, and clean the weld surfaces 7” back from the toe. Perform encoded PAUT to determine if intermittent weld discontinuities detected are indeed intermittent or instead a longer continuous weld discontinuity.

The objective of abatement, blasting to bare metal, cleaning, and applying the new coating system to the valve surfaces, where necessary, is to prolong the fatigue life of the valve components by reducing stress concentrations and the likelihood of slip by dislocation movements at the corroded surfaces. Fatigue related slip and dislocation movement are more likely to occur at corroded versus smooth surfaces.

The objective of PAUT scanning on abated, cleaned and blasted surface is fourfold.

1. It will eliminate and false positives that may occur due to surface conditions.

Rough and uneven surfaces may cause false indications that appear in the welds tested.

2. The size and location of the weld discontinuities will be more accurate for potential repair action.

3. It will determine if flaw is active and growing or inactive and stable.

iii

4. Thirdly, it will determine it if many of the smaller intermittent weld discontinuities detected are indeed intermittent or indicative of longer continuous weld discontinuities that were not detected due to surface roughness and data loss.

Some comments on lessons learned:

- The USACE’s objective to evaluate the welds in accordance with the SOW was largely successful with the exception of the circumferential weld and limited horizontal splice welds, vertical welds joining disc plate to disc hub, horizontal welds joining disc plate to disc hub, diagonal welds, and O welds that exhibited blistering and surface corrosion that prevented inspection.

- In general, the coating on the butterfly valve tightly adhered to the shell surface and permitted ultrasound transfer into the test piece to produce weld discontinuity reflection at adequate signal-to-noise ratios. For future inspections, this demonstrated that PAUT inspection is possible on coated surfaces.

- The surface conditions had more of an impact on inspection sensitivity than originally expected. While the scan plan cited +6dB scanning gain it was determined that up to 20 dB was needed in some cases to scan at sensitivity level that was judged adequate by the inspector. For this reason, it would be advisable to have a PAUT contractor on-site prior to and during future repairs if deemed necessary.

- Does the value added by abatement and blasting on the PAUT results justify performing these steps before the non-destructive testing? The overall coverage and performance of all NDT processes would be enhanced if abatement and blasting were performed beforehand. The cost of the abatement and blasting, however, my be leveraged into a longer fatigue service life through minimization of corrosion related fatigue phenomena.

- The butterfly valve was built in 1960 to neither ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code or AWS D1.1 code, but rather Williamette Iron and Steel Company Welding Procedure A-

3385. Stress relief was carried out to ASME VIII. The statement of work required inspection to ASME BPVC Sec. V. The welds inspected with PAUT were non-traditional in terms of the current ASME BPVC PAUT inspection market which are largely larger circumferential girth and seam welds compare to the T- and corner style welds on the valve.

Therefore, if it was the goal of the USACE to adopt a standard to which this valve should be inspected, it may be more advisable to adopt AWS D1.1 due to the style of welds.

However, a fracture mechanics approach may be more advisable so that analyses can focus on targeted flaw sizes and desired safety factors specific to the butterfly valve.

Weld Preparation

In accordance with the SOW, the welded region was cleaned for visual inspection and base metal inspection. The base metal was cleaned to approximately 6” from the weld toe. To remove the organic film and surface scale the following procedure was used:

- Scrub surface with an industrial grade plastic bristle scrub brush and water

- Scrub surface with steel wire brush surface to loosen organic film

- Rinse and clean surface with an industrial grade plastic bristle scrub brush and water

- Wipe down with rag and assess surface quality

- Repeat previous steps as required

Lead paint was not removed from the surface during this process.

Circumferential Weld

Circ Weld showed advanced blistering and surface corrosion over entire circumference.

Visual Inspection Summary

The upstream and downstream valve welds were inspected for fabrication related cracks, weld/base metal fusion, craters, undercut and porosity. No observable fabrication related defects were noted.

The upstream and downstream valve welds were inspected for in-service fatigue and corrosion related defects. No in-service related fatigue cracks were detected. Numerous areas of coating breakdown and surface corrosion and/or on-set of surface corrosion were observed on upstream and downstream welds. The entire circumferential weld joining disc halves showed advanced corrosion and coating breakdown.

Magnetic particle testing (MT) was performed on the upstream and downstream sides of butterfly valve in accordance with the statement-of-work. There were no cracks detected with MT.

WFMT was not performed on the circumferential weld joining the disc halves due to the surface conditions described in the visual inspection report.

1. Remove lead paint with industry standard practices, blast to bare metal, and clean the circumferential weld and shell to at least 6 inches radially from the valve OD. Perform a detailed visual inspection in accordance with AWS D1.1 guideline. Magnetic particle test same areas. Apply new coating system to these areas after inspection.

2. Remove lead paint with industry standard practices, blast to bare metal, and clean all welds on which coating breakdown and corrosion were observed and perform a detailed inspection in accordance with AWS D1.1. Additional welds may need to be considered at the time of the maintenance event. Apply new coating system to these areas after inspection.

3. Remove lead paint with industry standard practices, blast to metal, and clean all shell areas that exhibit coating breakdown and corrosion. Apply new coating system to these areas after inspection.

The objective of abatement, blasting to bare metal, cleaning, and applying the new coating system to the valve surfaces, where necessary, is to prolong the fatigue life of the valve components by reducing stress concentrations and the likelihood of slip by dislocation movements at the corroded surfaces. Fatigue related slip and dislocation movement is more likely to occur at corroded versus smooth surfaces.

3 Magnetic Particle Testing Results

Magnetic particle testing (MT) was performed on the upstream and downstream sides of butterfly valve in accordance with the statement-of-work. There were no cracks detected with MT.

Wet fluorescent magnetic particle testing (WFMT) was performed on 100% of the tension side

(downstream side), and 25% of the upstream side, of the vertical and horizontal welds joining the disc plates to the disc hub “casting”. (Reference drawing H-4075, assembly side view, Detail J, and Section F-F).

WFMT was performed on at least 50% of all horizontal splice welds (plug and butt type) joining the disc plates to the ribs, on the upstream side and 100% of same welds on the downstream side.

WFMT was not performed on the circumferential weld joining the disc halves due to the surface conditions described in the visual inspection report.

WFMT was performed on approximately 95% of the he “X” and “O” splice welds located on the upstream side of the disc weldment. All X-welds exhibited blistering and surface corrosion towards the ends of the weld at the valve OD. These areas were not inspected.

The performance of the total WFMT system was confirmed on-site using a Quantitative Quality

Shim (QQI) shim with a 0.0006” deep EDM notch. The horizontal indication generated with the

MT yoke, wet bath, and UV light is shown in Figure 3.1.

The size of each reflector are summarized for upstream and downstream welds in Tables 4.1 and

4.2, respectively. The sizes are color coded in a risk matrix based on the following weld flaw dimensions:

Flaw Length <0.200 0.200- 0.500

>0.375

The PAUT encoder scan directions and associated data files, for upstream and downstream sides, are shown in Figures 4.5 and 4.7, respectively. The data files were identified by valve#, upstream/downstream, weld ID, and top/bottom or outside/inside. For example, “Valve4uss4a” is the data file name for the scan of Valve #4, up-stream weld s4, top weld. Valve4uss4b would be the bottom weld. The encoder scan directions are identified via the set of perpendicular arrows.

The longer arrow is the scan direction, or weld axis, and the short arrow is the direction of the ultrasonic beams as shown in Figure 4.4.

The upstream side contained 17 weld discontinuities longer than 1” as shown in Table 4.1. The upstream side contained 4 weld discontinuities with a height greater than 0.375”. The most severe discontinuity was found in S8a with a length of 23.303” and a height of 0.372”. The PAUT inspection details for all welds inspected is presented in Section 5. The data for Weld s8A, for example, shows that the discontinuity was found mid-wall and was classified as lack of fusion

(LOF).

The downstream side contained 16 weld discontinuities longer than 1” as shown in Table 4.2. The downstream side contained 1 weld discontinuities with a height greater than 0.375”. The most severe discontinuity was found in H1 with a length of 2.074” and a height of 0.408”. The PAUT inspection details for all welds inspected is presented in Section 5. The data for Weld H1 shows that the discontinuity was found towards the weld bottom and was classified as lack of penetration.

(LOP).

PAUT Inspection Summary

The upstream and downstream valves were inspected with PAUT per the statement of work. Most areas that were scanned had tightly adhered coating that permitted adequate transfer of ultrasound into the valve shell. The data acquired supports this observation as root and toe reflections were observed in many of the welds. However, data was lost over a small percentage of the scanned areas and many welds required rescanning of rough surface areas. In many cases, it was impossible to transfer ultrasound into the valve shell. This lack of data is depicted in the Section 5 PAUT data as black gaps in the C-scan. For Butterfly Valve #4, all discontinuities detected were characterized as fabrication related flaws which included lack of penetration, lack of fusion, and inclusions.

A total of 29” for the circumferential weld were scanned with PAUT with no weld discontinuities detected. The remainder of the circumferential weld was not inspected due to advanced corrosion and surface roughness.

1. For all color-coded red welds in Tables 4.1 and 4.2. remove lead paint with industry standard practices, blast to bare metal, and clean the weld surfaces 7” back from the toe.

Perform encoded PAUT to more accurately locate and size the weld discontinuities. Apply new coating system to these areas after inspection. Re-assess possible repair action after new sizing data is made available.

2. For all welds with intermittent weld discontinuities, remove lead paint with industry standard practices, blast to bare metal, and clean the weld surfaces 6” back from the toe.

Perform encoded PAUT to determine if intermittent weld discontinuities detected are indeed intermittent or instead a longer continuous weld discontinuity.

3. Remove lead paint with industry standard practices, blast to bare metal, and clean the circumferential weld and shell to at least 6 inches radially from the valve OD. Perform

PAUT inspection. Apply new coating system to these areas after inspection.

The objective of scanning on abated, cleaned and blasted surface is threefold. Firstly, it will eliminate any false positives that may occur due to surface conditions. Rough and uneven surfaces may cause false indications that appear in the weld tested.

Secondly, the size and location of the weld discontinuities will be more accurate for potential repair action.

Thirdly, it will determine if many of the smaller intermittent weld discontinuities detected are indeed intermittent, or indicative of longer continuous weld discontinuities that were not detected due to surface roughness.
