TABLE PW-39 MANDATORY REQUIREMENTS FOR POSTWELD HEAT TREATMENT OF PRESSURE PARTS AND ATTACHMENTS (CONrD)
Minimum Holding Temperature, of Material P-No. 6 Group No. 1,2,3
(OC)

Minimum Holding Time at Normal Temperature for Weld Thickness (Nominal) Up to 2 in. (50 mm) 1 hr/in. (2 min/mm), 15 min minimum Over 2 in. (50 mm) to 5 in. <125 mm) 1 hr/in. (2min/mm) Over 5 in. <125 mm) 5 hr plus 15 min for each additional inch (25 mm) over 5 in. (125 mm)

1,400 (760)

GENERAL NOTES: (a) Postweld heat treatment is not mandatory for P-No. 6 materials under the following conditions: (ll for Type 410 material where the material and construction shall comply with the following conditions: (a) a maximum specified carbon content (SA material specification carbon content, except when further limited by the Purchaser to a value within the specification limits) of not more than 0.08% (b) the electrodes used shall produce an austenitic chromium-nickel weld deposit, or a non-air-hardening nickel-chromium-iron weld deposit, and provided the following additional requirements are met: (ll the material thickness at the welded joint does not exceed ~ in. (10 mm) (2) or material thickness over ~ in. (10 mm) through 1'lz in. (38 mm), the following additional conditions shall be required: (a) a preheat of 450F (230C) shall be maintained during welding (b) the welded joints shall be fully radiographically examined (2) for electric resistance welds used to attach extended heat-absorbing fins to pipe and tube materials, provided the following requirements are met: (a) a maximum pipe or tube size of NPS 4 (ON 100) (b) a maximum specified carbon content (SA material specification carbon content, except when further limited by the Purchaser to a value within specification limits) of not more than 0.15% (c) a maximum fin thickness of Ya in. (3 mm) (d) prior to using the welding procedure, the Manufacturer shall demonstrate that the heat-affected zone does not encroach upon the minimum wall thickness (b) General Note (a) does not apply to welds using the inertia and continuous drive friction welding processes. Postweld heat treatment is mandatory for all thicknesses of materials welded using inertia and continuous drive friction welding.
