Dears,


We have ordered fired heater in which coil material is SA335 P11. Coil size is 6” x SCH 40 (i.e. 6.625” OD x 0.28” THK). These coils are PWHT’d. Issue is, our vendor forgot to weld the thermocouple RF pads on the coil before PWHT. What needs to be done further if we weld the RF Pads on the already PWHT’d coils? Do we need to do PWHT again for that particular joint?


Please let us know your opinions.

Sir,

With proper approvals and procedure you can go for local PWHT.

As per my knowledege alloy materials of grade P11 & P12 doesnt require pwht if thickness is less than 13mm.

Thanks Hareesh for quick response. However, is it mandatory per code to do PWHT? RF pad is welded on coil with a fillet weld. Can you please give me the code reference?

Preheat to 150°C and weld RF pad with multiple pass not greater than 13mm fillet.

Per Table UCD-56-4 of Section VIII, Division 1 of the ASME BPVC (for ASME P-No. 4 steels):

1.       For butt welds in pressure barriers, PWHT is required for thicknesses greater than 5/8-inch (16-mm)

2.       For non-pressure attachment fillet welds, PWHT is required for thicknesses greater than 1/2-inch (13-mm)

 

Per Table 132.2 of ASME B31.1 (for ASME P-No. 4 steels):

1.       For butt, groove, & socket welds in pressure barriers, PWHT is required for pipe thicknesses greater than 5/8-inch (16-mm)

2.       For non-pressure attachment fillet welds, PWHT is required for pipe thicknesses greater than 5/8-inch and fillet throat thicknesses greater than 1/2-inch (13-mm)

 

Per Table 132.2 of ASME B31.3 (for ASME P-No. 4 steels):

1.       For butt, groove, & socket welds in pressure barriers, PWHT is required for pipe thicknesses greater than 5/8-inch (16-mm)

2.       For non-pressure attachment fillet welds, PWHT is required for pipe thicknesses greater than 5/8-inch and fillet throat thicknesses greater than 1/2-inch (13-mm)

Thanks a lot Dennis for precise reply. I can conclude now that in our case no further heat treatment is required. But, have one more doubt below.

ASME SEC II Part A, Specification SA-335/SA-335M, Clause 5.3.1 says “All pipe shall be reheated for heat treatment and heat treated in accordance with the requirements of Table 2”. Per Table 2, grade P11 shall be Normalized & Tempered @ 650°C. Also note 4 given just below clause 5.3.1 says “Certain of the ferritic steels covered by this specification will harden if cooled rapidly from above their critical temperature. Some will air harden, that is, become hardened to an undesirable degree when cooled in air from high temperatures. Therefore, operations involving heating such steels above their critical temperatures, such as welding, flanging, and hot bending, should be followed by suitable heat treatment”.

Does "Certain of the ferritic steels" covers grade P11?

good morning.
I was looking for PWHT TIME requirement for 16" S120 P11 pipe to 8" S120 WEDOLET holding time. would you help me?
