Preheating shall be done in accordance with the welding requirement related to
each class of piping base metal material.
Welding shall be performed to ensure complete fusion of the weld deposit and thebase metal in order to obtain homogeneous bound over the entire cross section
area of the weld.

instruction given by the manufactures of the filler metal.
Number of layers shall never be less then two.
6.6 POST WELD HEAT TREATMENT (PWHT)
6.6.1 GENERAL
Before starting any heat treatment process, it will be checked that welding hasbeen completed.
The temperature can be checked with the aid of thermochrome crayons or
thermocouples.
The preheating temperature shall be maintained throughout the welding cycle and
it should be done over sufficient width on either side of welds.
If ambient temperature of 00C or below preheating is mandatory even if notspecified. No heat treatment is required for austentic stainless steel.

Thermocouples and their location on the job to be heat reated shall be checked.
Calibration certificates of the heat treating equipment shall be checked.
6.6.2 POSTWELD HEAT TREATMENT PROCEDURE
Stress relieving shall be performed as per project specification when specified forrelieving residual stresses caused by welding, cold working etc.
Stress relieving shall be performed when specified to obtain softer, more ductilematerial than is obtained by stress relieving. Normalising is the usual commercialannealing operation for low carbon steels. It shall be formed as follows:
A Heat material up to 16500FB Hold at temperature one hour per inch of thickness (but not less than 1/2
hour).C Air cool at room temperature.
Normally austentic stainless steel is not stress relieved, If relief of stress ismentioned in the project specification, then a full anneal shall be specified.
Full annealing of austentic stainless steel shall be performed when specified toobtain solution of carbides and maximum softness and ductility with adequatecorrosion resistance. It shall be performed as follows:
A Heat material to 2000
0
F).B Hold at temperature one hour per inch. of thickness (but not less than 1/2hour).
C Water steam or air blast quenched to room temperature. (If distortion isexcessive rapid air cool may be used, although this will result in decreasedcorrosion resistance).
Annealing shall be performed when specified to obtain maximum softness andductility. Full annealing is used on low carbon steels only where maximumformability is needed but is used on medium carbon and low alloy steels wherenormalising may not produce the desired properties. It shall be performed asfollows:
A Heat material to 17500F
B Hold at temperature for one hour Slow furnace cool to 10000 F.C Air cools from 10000F to room temperature.
When local annealing is applied the zone to be heated to annealing temperatureshall be at least four times as wide as the weld.
No further heating or welding shall be done after annealing.
For welding sensitive materials a hardness test shall be performed to evidencethat annealing was carried out perfectly.

After heat treatment hardness of weld will be checked as per specification (if
required) and hardness test report shall be prepared.
A record of temperature levels and period of treatment should be maintained forreference.
After completion of process resultant graph of time and temperature will beverified and heat treatment sheet shall be prepared.
6.6.3 PRECAUTIONS
Heat treatment operations involve electrical heating up to 2000F bringinghazards of burning & electrocution due to a lot of cables & other electricequipment. Following precautions shall be taken.
A Appropriate visual & physical barrication of area to avoid unauthorizedpersonnel's entry
B To avoid physical hindrance due to other nearby activities.
C Warning signs / boards shall be installed on barrications,
D Proper dressing up of cables through appropriate routes to avoidentangling with other activities.
E ELCBs shall be installed on power supplies.
6.7 INSPECTION
The fabricated pipe spool shall be checked against project drawings to verify its
compliance.
The dimensions, angle and direction of spool and allowances for field welding
shall be according to the IFC isometrics & project specification. (ASME B.31.3
(chapter V)
NDE shall be performed as per ASME section V after PWHT if specified on
isometric drawings or project specifications.
The acceptance criteria for visual inspection shall be done according to the ASME
B.31.3. (Chapter VI).
Visible small transverse cracks & star cracks of limited thickness shall be removed
by grinding & repaired by welding. However circumferential cracks shall result in
weld rejection. The defective material will be cut out & rewelding preformed.
NDE tests shall be performed & recorded as per Piping Class, relevant Code and
Project (Welding) Specifications.
The NDE result shall be interpreted by qualified inspectors (level II)
