4. HEATING MODE:
The weld joint along with the adjacent band to be heat-treated shall be heated either by
induction heating or by electrical resistance heating equipment.
HEAT BAND:
5.1 Proper care shall be taken to ensure that width oI heated band over which speciIied post
weld heat treatment temperature attained is at least that speciIied in the relevant
applicable standards/ codes.
5.2 While carrying out local Post Weld Heat Treatment the technique to be adapted Ior
heating shall be ensured that uniIorm heating shall be maintained at all points oI the
portion being heat-treated.
5.3 The bandwidth to be decided accordingly, while heating welded joints; the exposed
surIace temperature shall not be allowed to exceed 50 oI the peak temperature.
6. TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENTS:
6.1 The temperature attained by the heated portion shall be measured by thermo couples.
ManuIacturers test certiIicates shall be submitted Ior the thermocouple materials.
6.2 The measure temperature shall be recorded by means oI calibrated automatic
temperature recorder. The calibration certiIicates oI temperature recorders shall be
submitted to CLIENT / TPI beIore starting oI PWHT.
6.3 The thermocouples shall be attached directly at equally spaced location along the
periphery oI the weld joint either by putty or by resistance welding.
6.4 The minimum number oI thermo couples attached per joint shall be
Up to 4 Diameter (NPS). : 1 No. (PreIerably at the bottom oI the joint)
6 ~ 12Diameter (NPS). : 2 Nos. (PreIerably one at the bottom oI the joint)
Above 12 Diameter (NPS). : 3 Nos. (PreIerably one at the bottom oI the joint)

0
C respectively.
7.3 During heating / soaking diIIerence between any two points shall be as minimum as
possible.
7.4 PWHT work will be started aIter the installation oI piping supports as per AFC
drawing to prevent any sagging/wrapage/distortion during the thermal cycle. For the
Iabrication joints, beIore starting the PWHT cycle, care shall be taken to prevent any
sagging/wrap age/distortion.
