Abstract

Welding is a process of joining metals by utilizing electric power as a source of welding heat. Flux-Core Arc Welding (FCAW) is a welding process that uses a heat source from electricity that is converted into a heat source in an electric arc, in this FCAW welding the type of protection used is flux or powder that is in the core of the welding wire (the welding wire is rolled in a roll). This research aims to observe changes in hardness values after welding, both low carbon steel hardness in the HAZ (Heat Affected Zone) area and outside the HAZ (Heat Affected Zone) area. Welding using V-joints with angles of 45° and 60° and varying the voltage strength at 16 volts, 18 volts and 20 volts. Hardness testing using the Rockwell method where the highest hardness value of the HAZ area for 45 is 22.95 HRD at a voltage strength of 20 volts. For V-joints for an angle of 60°, the highest hardness value of the HAZ area is also at a voltage strength of 20 volts with a value of 24.10 HRD. The highest increase in hardness value is at the V-angle 60° joint with a voltage of 20 volts with a hardness value of 21 HRD while the lowest is the V-angle 45° joint with a voltage of 16 volts at 18.67 HRD. Keywords: Hardness Value, HAZ (Heat Affected Zone), FCAW (Flux Cored Arc Welding)

Abstract

In the oil and gas industry, tanks play a crucial role as storage containers for fluids and fuel oil products, both in the form of volatile, pressurized, and flammable fluids. In addition, tanks are not only found in the oil and gas industry, but also in other sectors such as power plants. In the long period of use, the tank may be damaged due to several factors, including plate depletion caused by cor rosion. This problem can affect the integrity of the tank so that an inspection of the condition of the tank needs to be carried out. The inspection of tank plate thickness and corrosion rate was carried out using the Non-Destructive Examination (NDE) method with the Benetech GM100 Ultrasonic Thickness Gaugge tool. This inspection is urgently needed to determine the remaining life of the tank with reference to the API 653 and API 575 standards. The method used started from literature studies in various references and previous research, after which field data collection was then analyzed in accordance with the findings and applicable provisions. Based on the results of measurements in April 2024, the condition of the 01-50 ton tank is still in good condition, marked by the thickness of course 1-3 is still above the minimum limit that has been determined. For Course 1 Tact is 4.3 mm and Tmin is 0.4064 mm with a corrosion rate of 0.0875 mm/year and a remaining life of 44.49 years. For Course 2 Tact is 4.1 mm and Tmin is 0.2032 mm with a corrosion rate of 0.1125 mm/year and a remaining life of 24.63 years. For Course 3 Tact of 3.9 mm and Tmin of 0.1016 mm with a corrosion rate of 0.1375 mm/year and a remaining life of 28.35 years. It can be concluded that the condition of the 01-50 Ton tank is still in good condition. Keywords: (tank, power plant, plate thickness, corrosion rate, remaining tank life)

Abstract

A comparative analysis of the results of making VCO using the addition of yeast and without using the addition of yeast has been carried out. The method used is a simple experiment, namely measuring the volume of VCO produced and the quality of the product produced (taste, smell, color) with the control variable being the length of fermentation, 1 hour, 3 hours, 5 hours, 7 hours, 9 hours and 11 hours using yeast. fermipan as much as 0.1% and without using yeast. The results show that there is a difference in the growth rate of VCO formation with the addition of yeast and without the addition of yeast. The growth rate of VCO formation using yeast begins to occur during fermentation from the first 1 hour to the next 3 hours, namely the VCO produced starts from 26 mL to 92 mL, after that time interval, in the next 2 hours the growth rate of VCO formation begins to decrease. Meanwhile, the growth of VCO formation without yeast during fermentation since the first 1 hour interval has not occurred significantly, namely only 7 ml of VCO produced. This and the growth of VCO formation only started to increase after 3 hours and then reached 22 ml. Testing the organoleptic properties of the VCO produced, there was no significant difference between the VCO produced with the addition of yeast and without the addition of yeast.

Abstract

Coating is a process of applying paint in liquid form to an object, to create a thin layer which then forms a hard layer or paint layer. Factors that affect the quality of painting are the materials used, the viscosity of the paint, the painting temperature, and the skill in applying the paint. This study is to observe the process of changing the hardness value on the surface of the paint from coating. The drying process of painting uses 4 forms, namely drying indoors, outdoors, in an oven at a temperature of 50°C and 60°C with a mixture of paint, 100% base: 50% hardener + Thinner (10% of the base) Based on the study of the effect of the paint drying process on the hardness value of the coating, it can be concluded that the results of the average hardness value obtained, namely the use of the drying method using an oven with a temperature of 60°C has the highest hardness value of 84.10 HV followed by 82.90 HV and 81.93 HV for oven drying with a temperature of 50°C and drying indoors with a temperature of 35°C - 36°C, while the lowest hardness value is in outdoor drying with a temperature of 37°C - 39°C with a value of 80.68 HV.

Abstract

In modern industry, pipelines play an important role, especially in the oil and gas sector. Pipes are susceptible to corrosion, especially those in aggressive environments such as PLTD Namlea, which is directly adjacent to the coast. Corrosion, as a natural process of metal degradation, is inevitable, but it can be controlled to extend the life of the pipe. This study measured the thickness of the pipes at PLTD Namlea using Ultrasonic Testing (UT) to determine the corrosion rate and remaining service life. Based on measurements, the minimum thickness of pipes at various measuring points (Measuring Points / MP) still meets the API 574 standard, which must not be less than 1.8 mm. The average corrosion rate ranges from 0.336 to 0.358 mm/year. These values affect the rate of degradation of the pipe and the remaining service life, which ranges from 5.5 to 6.1 years at various measurement points. Pipes that have a higher corrosion rate will have a shorter remaining service life. Overall, the pipeline at PLTD Namlea is still laid. Keywords: Pipe, Corrosion Rate, Remaining Life

Abstract

Ambon Peaker 30 MW. These pipes are prone to corrosion, especially if not protected by a coating, which leads to thickness reduction and shortens the operational lifespan of the pipes. The thickness measurement will be carried out using an Ultrasonic thickness gauge to determine the corrosion rate and the remaining life of the pipe. The standards referenced in data collection are the American Petroleum Institute (API) 570 and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) B31.4. The research will be conducted by the author from August 28, 2024, to August 30, 2024, at PLTMG Ambon Peaker 30 MW, Salahutu District, Central Maluku Regency, Maluku Province. The research results show that the minimum thickness reduction indicates a corrosion rate of 0.228 mm/year at Thickness Measurement Location (TML) 17 and 18, while the maximum thickness reduction shows a corrosion rate of 0.564 mm/year at Thickness Measurement Location (TML) 3. Pipes with lower corrosion rates have a remaining life of 5.4 years, while pipes with higher corrosion rates have a remaining life of up to 31.9 years. In conclusion, coating protection is essential to reduce the corrosion rate and extend the service life of the pipes. Keywords: Pipe thickness, Corrosion rate, Pipe remaining life, Ultrasonic thickness gauge.
