Note (4) of Table PW-38 introduces a new term "self preheating" which means no heat is applied prior to welding, but that the heat of welding is demonstrated to quickly establish the minimum preheat required.

There were no speciic words in Section V to establish chronologically when a procedure qualification i demonstration must be performed. ; Notice that these words do not strictly limit "procedure qualification” to prior to the start } of fabrication (similar to welding procedure qualification). Those words were felt to be too much of a burden by several members of the Section V Standards Committee. } Technically, this allows NDE to be performed on the boiler or vessel prior to the required i procedure qualification demonstration. The "risk" being that if the procedure qualification : is not accepted by the Al, it would need to be redone successfully before the NDE results could be accepted. 1 Copyright ©2019 The Hartford Steam Boiler Inspection and Insurance Co.
