As per UW40 (a)(4), when PWHT by
internal firing method the internal pressure should be kept as low as
practicable, but shall not exceed 50% of the maximum allowable working pressure
at the highest metal temperature expected during the postweld heat treatment
period.
How to calculate MAWP at PWHT temp (~ 600°C) since
allowable stress for SA 516 Gr. 70 is available upto 524°C only.
