The PWHT Equipment List is an essential document that serves to assist Project Contractors when purchasing equipment for their projects. It works hand in hand with other specifications such as Supplementary Requirements Specification, Quality Requirement Specification and Equipment Data Sheets to make informed purchasing decisions. This far infrared heating equipment can be used for pre-weld …

Local post weld heat treatment (PWHT) can be an economical and less-invasive way of mitigating weld residual stresses in large pressure vessels and pipes, helping reduce equipment costs by shrinking its size and decreasing equipment needs. Local PWHT processes typically consist of three separate zones for soak, heated and gradient control – though there is …

Post weld heat treatment is a process designed to minimize and redistribute residual stresses introduced during welding, which could increase susceptibility to hydrogen-induced cracking or cause other forms of structural failures. PWHT is typically performed using induction heating. Induction heating utilizes high frequency alternating electrical current to generate magnetic fields and eddy currents for metal …

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 …
