Re: [MW:2036] preheat calculation

[PREM SHANKARDUTT NAUTIYAL]

Hi

Please use following formula to calculate Preheat temp.

Preheat  temperature in Degree celcius = 350 * Square root of (C.E – 0.25 )

Where C.E = CC + CT
CT  = CC * 0.005 * T
T = thickness of plate in mm
CC  = C + Mn/6 + Ni+Cu/15 + Cr+Mo+V/5

Hi

 

This calculation as given below is used but is extremely conservative resulting in much higher preheat temperatures than what is actually required. This impact on costs negatively.
