APPENDIX 26 MANDATORY RULES FOR CrMo STEELS WITH ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS FOR WELDING AND HEAT TREATMENT

26-100 SCOPE specimens and the set of Charpy impact specimens shall be exposed to heat treatment Condition B. Condition A. Temperature shall be no lower than the actual maximum vessel-portion temperature, less 25F. Time at temperature shall be no less than 80% of the actual hold time of the vessel portion exposed to the maximum vessel-portion temperature. Condition B. Temperature shall be no higher than the actual minimum vessel-portion temperature, plus 25F. Time at temperature shall be no more than 120% of the actual hold time of the vessel portion exposed to the minimum vessel-portion temperature. (b) Suggested procedure for establishing test specimen heat treatment parameters: (1) establish maximum and minimum temperatures and hold times for the vessel/component heat treatment based on experience/equipment; (2) determine Conditions A and B for the test specimen heat treatments; (3) see Fig. 26-300.1 (shaded area) for vessel heat treatment temperature and hold time limitations, and test specimen Conditions A and B.

This Appendix covers special fabrication and testing rules for a group of materials for which tightly controlled welding and heat treatment procedures are of particular importance. The materials and appropriate specications covered by this Appendix are listed in Table 26-100.1. The requirements of this Appendix are in addition to the rules in other parts of this Division for carbon and low alloy steels. In cases of conicts, the rules in this Appendix shall govern. This Appendix number shall be shown on the Manufacturers Data Report Form.

POSTWELD HEAT TREATMENT

(a) 214Cr1Mo 14V and 3Cr1Mo 14VTiB Materials. The nal postweld heat treatment shall be in accordance with the requirements of this Division for P-No. 5C materials. (b) 214Cr1Mo Materials. The nal postweld heat treatment temperature shall be in accordance with the requirements of this Division for P-No. 5A materials, except that the permissible minimum normal holding temperature is 1200F and the holding time shall be 1 hr/in. up to a nominal thickness of 5 in. For thicknesses over 5 in., the holding time shall be 5 hr plus 15 min for each additional inch over 5 in.

(a) Welding procedure qualications using a production weld consumable shall be made for material welded to itself or to other materials. The qualications shall conform to the requirements of Section IX, and the maximum tensile strength at room temperature shall be 110 ksi (for heat treatment Conditions A and B). Welding shall be limited to the submerged-arc (SAW) and shielded metal-arc (SMAW) processes.
