Postweld Heat Treatment for Steels

This document provides postweld heat treatment requirements for various grades of materials listed in Table UHT-23. It specifies the nominal thickness requiring postweld heat treatment, the recommended postweld heat treatment temperature range, and holding time at temperature for different material specifications for plate steels, castings, pipes/tubes, and forgings. It also provides general notes on when postweld heat treatment is or is not required or prohibited for certain material grades and specifications.

GENERAL NOTE: NA = not applicable.

NOTES:
(1) See UHT-82[gJ.
(2) PWHT is neither required nor prohibited, Consideration should be given to the possibility of temper embrittlement. The cooling rate
from PWHT, when used, shall not be slower than that obtained by cooling in still air.

higher than the original tempering shall be reheat treated
in accordance with the applicable material specifïcation,
either before or after welding into the vessel.
