LF – Low Ferrite products for low temperature applications in LNG Terminals

The boiling point of natural gas, -163°C requires high demanding materials.

LNG Plant
Welding consumables for LNG applications have to achieve special technical requirements:  Impact work at -196°C, min. 27 J
 Lateral expansion at -196°C, min. 0,38 mm
 Controlled Ferrite content
The Ferrite content is of vital importance for meeting the required low temperature toughness.
BÖHLER Welding has developed welding consumables marked with the ending LF – for Low Ferrite, especially for these applications.
Typical Ferrite contents of these BÖHLER welding consumables (measured with Fischer Ferritscope MP 30):
 
 GTAW  FN 3 – 10
 SMAW  FN 3 –   8
 FCAW  FN 3 –   6
