BPV Section IX
QW-407.1 and QW-407.2, Postweld Heat Treatment (2007 Edition)
12/11/2007

IX-07-06
Background: A weld test coupon for a PQR was welded to
itself using P-No. 1, Group 2 plate material and postweld heat
treated at 1110°F to 1130°F (600°C to 610°C) for 10 hr. The
PQR documents all supplementary essential variable notch-
toughness requirements. Notch toughness is required and all
qualification ranges are supported by the PQR for production
welds.
Question: Will this PQR support a WPS that specifies a
PWHT temperature range below the lower
transformation temperature, provided the time at temperature
does not exceed 12.5 hr?
Reply: Yes.
