Is there any specific clause in ASME Sec VIII DIV-1 & 2 for the thermocouple location criteria while carrying out the PWHT?

As per above clause for controlling temperature gradiant you should have to place thermocouple in such a way that distance between any two thermocouple should not be more than 4.6 m . 

Additionally if you perform PWHT as per FEA than you also put thermocouple accodingly to full fill FEA requirement.
