Instruction for Post-Heating / PWHT and Hardness Test For Carbon Steels Free heating up to 300° iter 300°, controled heating upto holding temperature with 2 maximum heating rate of 200°C hour. Holding temperature shell be 635 214°C Holding time shall be 2,4 times of pipe wall thickness and in any case min. hour. ifthickness/xime calculation s more than 60 minutes, calculated value willbe used as holding time, Controlled cooling down from holding temperature to 300°C witha maximum heating rate of 200°C /hour Free cooling ater 300°C shall be by covering the joint with insulation material or by using the existing insulation material on the ont. ‘Machine can be shutdown but ‘recorders should continue to run till ambient temperature, For Alloy Steels Pit Post-heating for P11 is not required PWHT data shall be as follows: a) Free heating up to 300°C. 'b)_ After 300°C, controlled heating up to holding temperature with @ maximum heating rate of 200°C / hour. ¢] Holding temperature shall be 725 + 20°C 4) Holding time shall be 2,4 times of pipe wall thickness and in any case min. 2 hours. IF thickness/time calculation is more than 120 minutes, calculated value willbe used as holding time. 2} Controlled caoting dawn from holding témperature to 300°C with a maximum cooling rate of 200°C /hour Free cooling after 300°C shall be by covering the joint with Insulation material or by using the existing insulation material on the ji Machine can be shutdown but recorders should continue to run till ambient temperature. P22 Post-Heating data shall be as follows: al jals will be heated up to 270-300°C after completion of welding with = maximum heating rate of 150°C 'b). Holding temperature shall be 285:t 15°C } Holding time shall be 45 minutes for material thickness less than 11.mm. If thickness is equal or greater than 11 mm, holding time shall be 90 minutes. Controlled cooling down from holding temperature to Ambient Temperature with 2 maximum cooling rate of 150°C / hour if delayed PWHT will be applied. PWHT data shall be as follows: 1a] Heating up from ambient to 735 4 25°C with a masimum heating rate of 150°C / hour. 'b) Holding temperature shall be 735 + 25°C )_ Holding time shall be 2,4 times of pipe wall thickness and in any case minimum 2 hours. If thickness/time calculation is more than 120 minutes, calculated value will be used as holding time. dd) Controlled cooling down from holding temperature to 350°C with a maximum cooling rate of 150°C / hour Free cooling after 350°C shall be by covering the oint with insulation material or by using the existing Insulation material on the joint. ‘Machine can be shutdown but recorders should continue to run till ambient temperature. a ° P5/P9 Post-Heating data shall be as follows: 2). Materials will be heated up to 300-350°C after completion of welding with a maximum heating rate of 220°C 'b) Holding temperature shall be 325 + 25°C } Holding time shall be 45 minutes for material thickness less than 11 mm. If thickness is equal or greater than 11 mm, holding time shall be 90 minutes, Controlled cooling down from holding temperature to Ambient Temperature with a maximum cooling rate of 120°C/ hour i delayed PWHT willbe applied. PWHT data shall be as follows: a} Heating up from ambient to 735+ 25°C with @ maximum heating rate of 190°C / hour. 'b). Holding temperature shall be 735 + 25°C } Holding time shall be 2,4 times of pipe wall thickness and in any case min. 2 hours. a
