The fire damage FFS assessment is based on the material degradation associated with heat exposure. The proposed identification of heat exposure zone will be provided in the API 579-1/ASME FFS-1 Standard. As the useful judgments, temper colors and mechanical properties such as tensile strength, hardness, impact energy, ductility and so on for the damaged materials.However, the reference temper colors are shown only by the names of colors without photographic examples and the details of metallurgical analysis are not available in the Standard.This paper presents the temper color reference shows by presenting several photographic examples of different exposed temperature, elapsed time and cooling rates for carbon steel and stainless steel.The metallurgical analysis guide describes typical degradations in mechanical properties and appearances in microstructure observed in the materials exposed to fire, evaluation criteria, procedure for replica preparation, personnel qualification and so on.Copyright © 2013 by ASME
