1. SCOPE
This procedure specification covers the thermal treating ( PWHT ) for Shop and / or field
process and utility.
2.1 ASME Sect. 12007 Edition Rules For Construction Of Power Boiler, July 1,
2007 ASME B31.1 - 2007 (Revision of ASME B31.1 - 2004 ) Power Piping
2.2 Project Specification.
The operation of Post Weld Heat Treatment shall be performed in accordance with the
requirements given in the applicable section of ASME Section I and ASME B31.1.
The Post Weld Heat Treatment shall be conducted locally by means of Electric Resistance Heater.
Weld joint shall be locally Post Weld Heat Treatment in such manner that the entire band
shall be brought up uniformly to the required temperature and being held for the specified
time by electrical resistance heating.
In local heat treatment, a circumferential band must be heated until the specified temperature range
exists over the complete circumference of the pipe section. With a gradual diminishing of the
temperature outward from the edge of the band which includes the weld or the bent or formed
section.
( a ) In local heat treatment of butt welded joints, the minimum width of the circum ferential band,
centred on the weld, shall extend 1 in. ( 25 mm ) beyond the edges of the weld.
( b ) In local heat treatment of the welded branch connections, the width of heated circumferential
band shall extend at least 1 in. ( 25 mm ) beyond the edge of the weld.
( c ) In local heat treatment of bent or formed sections, the minimum width of the circumferential
band shall extend to 1 in ( 25 mm ) on each side of the bent or formed area.
( a ) In local PWHT Method, insulation blanket such as ceramic fiber blanket or equivalent material
shall be provided for the are being treated.
( b ) The insulation blanket shall be kept in place with steel bands or steel wires.
(c) Where possible, the ends of piping should be sealed to prevent internal air currents from
creating excessively high thermal gradients trough the thickness of the piping.
( d ) After treatment all material shall be cooled in still air, protected from rain and draughts and if
insulation blankets have been used, they shall be removed until the treated area has cooled to hand
warm temperature i.e. 25° C to 30° C.

Post Weld Heat Treatment.
(a)
PWHT of pressure part and attachment of Power Boiler shall be in accordance with
Table PW-39 of ASME Section I and applicable code cases with the following exception
Exothermic heat treatment is prohibited
(b) PWHT of power piping shall be ir. accordance with paragraph 132 and Table 132 of
ASME B31.1 as applicable with the following exeption :
Exothermic heat treatment is prohibited
(c) 1 1/2 inch & bellow for Elbow, Tee connection be able to use 1 T/C ( for socket weld )
( d ) Heating from ambien temperature to 300 C degree ( 572° F ) as unrestricted.
Above 315 °C the rate of heating and cooling shall not exceed 335 °C per hour devided by '/ the maximum
thickness of material in inches at the weld but in no case shall the rate exceed 335 °C per
hour. Ref. para 132.5 PWHT Heating and Cooling requirement of ASME B31.1.
( e ) The weldment shall be heated slowly to the temperature specified and held for the specified time, and shall be
allowed to cool slowly in a still atmosphere to a temperature not exceeding B00 °F ( 425 °C ).
f ) For P no 7 material cooling rate shall be not greater than 55 °C/hr in the range above 650 °C after
which the cooling rate shall be sufficiently rapid to prevent embrittlement.
(g) The minimum of soaking time and temperatures acording with WPS, if not required by WPS will be follow ASME
Sect. 1 Table PW-39 and ASME B31.1 Tabel 132.
