Stainless steels come in various microstructures, from austenitic to ferritic or martensitic. Their corrosion-resistance makes them suitable for industries like oil and gas. PWHT can be beneficial to lean grade SMSS services when it comes to sour service conditions; however, data regarding long term exposure are limited. PWHT requirements depend on grade and service conditions. …

Perform and oversee preheating and post weld heat treatment (PWHT) of various pipe sizes & thicknesses according to instructions, documentation and engineering drawings. Technicians begin welding pipeline welds by wrapping Flexible Ceramic Pad (FCP) and thermocouple wire around the weld area, transporting completed welds for further processing, as well as monitoring preheat charts during welding …
Experience Control heating and cooling cycles on components used in Power Generation, Petrochemical, Chemical, Mining, Oil & Gas industries as well as deployed sites offshore. PWHT tasks range from preheating pipes to post weld heat treatment and, depending on the industry, may include mandatory welding codes for carbon steel, work hardened and stainless steel metals. …
Asme B31.3’s PWHT procedure covers fabrication/welding of process piping used in fluid service systems such as oil refineries, chemicals manufacturing plants, pharmaceutical laboratories, hydrogen plants, paper pulp mills and power generation plants. EPRI has recommended that the 2014 revisions to B31.1 and B31.3 lower the PWHT temperature range for carbon steel in fluid service applications …
PWHT jobs involve preheating and postweld heat treatment (PWHT) of pipe welds and equipment according to company, quality and client standards. This typically requires reading documentation, monitoring preheat charts and operating equipment. PWHT is necessary to reduce residual stresses in welded components and can be time and cost intensive; some codes even mandate it for …
PWHT (post-weld heat treatment) is an integral component of welding that reduces residual stresses and tempers the heat affected zone, as well as improving weld ductility to avoid cold cracking. PWHT involves heating a material to an exact temperature for an extended period, then gradually cooling it over time. It is an intricate process requiring …

Prior to 2014, ASME B31.3 required carbon steel welds be post weld heat treated (PWHT). However, with recent amendments of this Code allowing exemptions when weld thickness exceeds certain limits, post weld heat treatment becomes optional in certain instances. This paper will analyze the arguments used to justify exemptions, showing many to be invalid or …
The B31.3 Code defines rules for piping systems used in oil refineries, chemical, paper & pulp, semiconductor manufacturing facilities, power generation stations and similar processing plants. This document specifies requirements for designing, fabricating, assembly erection examination inspection & testing of process piping. An EPRI report (Ref 1) has recommended that the PWHT temperature for 1-1/4 …
تتضمن المعالجة الحرارية لما بعد اللحام (PWHT)، والتي يشار إليها عادةً باسم تخفيف الإجهاد، تسخين اللحامات وتبريدها لتخفيف الضغوط المتبقية التي قد تؤدي إلى التشقق والتصدع في اللحامات. تتضمن معالجة PWHT معدلات وتفاوتات وأوقات محددة في درجات الحرارة التي توفرها أفران ويسكونسن فرن لتخفيف الإجهاد إلى أقصى حد. التلدين والتطبيع وتخفيف الإجهاد ليست سوى بعض من ...

منذ طبعة عام 2014 من ASME B31.3، تم إعفاء أنابيب الصلب الكربوني السميك من متطلبات المعالجة الحرارية بعد اللحام (PWHT) مع اشتراط اللحام متعدد الممرات فقط وعدم الحاجة إلى شرط التسخين المسبق. أثيرت مخاوف من أن مثل هذه الإعفاءات قد تكون غير آمنة. تهدف هذه الورقة البحثية، التي يرعاها معهد بحوث الطاقة والموارد الطبيعية وكتبها أعضاء فريق RRAC، إلى ...
