Post-weld heat treatment (PWHT) is an important process for relieving stress. To meet code specifications and achieve its full potential, PWHT equipment such as JKZ’s is essential in fulfilling its purpose. PWHT requirements vary based on pipe material and thickness; as a general guideline, one hour per inch. EL 3000 Series Chart Recorder The EL …
Welding is an integral component of equipment production across many industries, but can cause distortion and stress to material. Therefore, post weld heat treatment (PWHT) may be performed after welding in order to reduce residual stresses and enhance material strength. PWHT testing is often stipulated by industry codes like pressure vessel and piping codes, particularly …
