PWHT of blind flanges

[Muhammed Ibrahim PK]

Dear All,

Is it required to place permanent blind flanges in the furnace when the vessel requires PWHT ?. 

If there is handle welded on blind flange, PWHT required ?

Thanks & Regards

Permanent blind flanges may not require PWHT, any welds associated with them typically do, if they affect 

the structural integrity. But if the handle is a temporary weldment, and removed later or if the fillet is small,

then PWHT is not needed.
