THK ≤ 25MM (PIPE)_ 222°C→5550
≤ 25MM THK→TO TAKE TEMP & TIME=222°C/hr.
֍So Restricted Heating is in this thickness → (≤ 25 MM THK) →TO TAKE TEMP & TIME=222°C/hr.
STEP: 1 → RESTRICTED HEAT RATE PROCEDURE FOR ≤ 25 MM THK _ A.S STEEL
To note holding temp=720°c (as per code)
Holding temp - Restricted heat temp
720°c - 300°c = 420°c
Note→ wall thickness=25mm
Normally (≤ 25 MM THK) standard value →TO TAKE TEMP & TIME=222°C/hr.

30 mm
↓
1”inch=25 mm
Balance=5 mm
25+5=30 mm
So 1st we take 1”inch=25mm → So Restricted Heating → TO TAKE TEMP & TIME=222°C/hr.
STEP: 1 → RESTRICTED HEAT RATE PROCEDURE FOR 30 MM THK _ A.S STEEL
1" inch thk ∗ Maximum heating rate

Soaking temp for c-mn steel=720°c
Restricted temp=300°c
720°C− 300°C
= =2.27°C/ hrs.

Now change hrs. To Mins → 2.27*60= 136.2 Mins

60 mins its called 1 hr
SO 2 hr & 16.2 Mins → For Restricted heating rate temp is =300°c to 720°c
STEP: 2 → SOAKING TEMP PROCEDURE FOR 30 MM THK _ A.S STEEL
As per code ≤ 25 mm thk → soaking time is 2 hr
Now we change 2 hr to Mins---------------2 hr = 120 Mins

THK 50 MM (PLATE)-200°C→5000
50 mm
↓
1”inch=25 mm
2”inch=25 mm
25+25=50 mm
So 1st we take 1”inch=25mm → So Restricted Heating → TO TAKE TEMP & TIME=200°C/hr.
STEP: 1 → RESTRICTED HEAT RATE PROCEDURE FOR 50 MM THK _ A.S STEEL
1" inch thk ∗ Maximum heating rate

SO 4 hr & 12 Mins → For Restricted heating rate temp is =200°c to 720°c
STEP: 2 → SOAKING TEMP PROCEDURE FOR 50 MM THK _ A.S STEEL (per inch 1 hrs to take FOR A.S)

So per hour 100°c
1” inch 25 mm=2 hour
2” inch 50 mm=2 hour Totally 4 hours soaking temp should give for 50 mm thk
or
As per code ≤ 25 mm thk → soaking time is 2 hr

= 50°𝐶→ 50°𝐶/ℎ𝑟
100
Now do not take 50°𝐶, but should take minimum heating temp 60°c, because as per code
standard start on 60°c , so we take 60°c
As per code standard heating temp maximum & minimum
Minimum=60°c /ℎ𝑟
Maximum=200°c /ℎ𝑟
STEP: 1 → RESTRICTED HEAT RATE PROCEDURE FOR 100 MM THK _ A.S STEEL for 300°c to 600°c
Holding temp or soaking temp = 720°c
Restricted heat starting temp = 300°c
720-300=420°c
So now we take minimum heat temp for 100 mm thk plate=60°c
420/60=7 hrs
420°c
300+60=360°c
360+60=420°c
42+60=480°c
480+60=540°c
540+60=600°c
600+60=660°c
660+60=720°c
300°c to 360°c → 1 hrs
360°c to 420°c → 1hrs
420°c to 480°c → 1hrs totally 7 hrs for 100 mm thk material
480°c to 540°c → 1hrs restricted heat temp (300°c to 720°c)
540°c to 600°c → 1hrs
600+60=660°c → 1hrs
660+60=720°c → 1hrs
