Carbon steel pressure vessels may require post weld heat treatment (PWHT) for stress relief in accordance with global pressure vessel safety codes. When stress relieved, most of these vessels receive a full volumetric exam, such as radiography or ultrasound.
- The impact of Post-Weld Heat-Treatment (PWHT) on the hardness and microstructure of of 0.165% carbon steel was determined in this study after welding operation. Autodesk Inventor Simulation CFD 2015 Application Software for Visual Style –Wire Frame and Visual Style –Shaded Mesh was used to simulate the Heat Affected Zone (HAZ) and welded pool on three planes (YZ, XZ, XY).
- For steel fabrication the use PWHT is driven by the need to resist brittle fracture via post heating and to reduce residual stresses via stress relieving. Post heating is primarily done to avoid hydrogen induced cracking (HIC), also know as cold cracking and hydrogen assisted cracking (HAC). In order for HIC to occur three things must be present.

PWHT is exempted for all thicknesses and weld types of P-No 1 base material, subjected to meeting the requirements of Notes in Table 331.1.3 (such as preheat and multiple layer welds...).

Dear all,
As old ASME B31.3-2012 we know it was above 19mm req pwht,
When Pwht Is Required For Carbon Steel Pressure Vessel
now i read ASME B31.3-2014,little confused me with pwht exemption and pwht requirements and control thickenss 331.1.3?
q1- what is thik req for pwht for P1 as per b31.3 2014 ?
q2 : for P1,mentioned more than 25mm thk and 95C preheat exemption from pwht so less than 25mm not require pwht ?
mohd.
