PWHT: Can we repeat PWHT

for 1 welding joints?

1) Follow ASME B31.3:

In this code, no mention about this concern. So, we can repeat in some special
case.

2) ASME IX:
+ QW-407.1: mention for WPS have or no have PWHT ( add / delete PWHT is essential
).

+ QW-407.2: temperature and time range ( see above ) a change in the postweld heat
treatment temperature and time range. The PWHT total time(s) at temperature(s)
may be applied in one heating cycle.

It’s mean when carry out repeat PWHT – you must be strictly follow PWHT
procedure for one cycle.

+ QW-407-4: T limit – DELETED
