treatment according to the engineering design. Requested NDE for welds of other materials
may be performed before or after post-weld heat treatment.
6.2 Post Weld Heat Treatment

Heat treatment shall be applied by mean of local heating.
This constitutes heating a circumferential band with a wrap-around electrical resistance
heating pad connected to a transformer of 50kVA rating, with the weld located in the
center of the band. The minimum heated band width and the minimum insulation width
shall be as shown in the below.
 NPS=nominal pipe size, DN=diameter number, OD=outside diameter, t=wall
thickness, R=inside radius, ID=Inside diameter
 The minimum PWHT soak band(SB) width for girth welds is defined as 3t
 Minimum heated band width HB1 = greater of SB +[4 x √Rt]
 Minimum heated band width HB2 = greater of 5 x [(OD2 - ID2)/2 + (ID x SB)]/OD
for piping size up to 6 NPS, where 1 circumferential control zone is used. If two
zones are used, the width is in the blow
 Minimum heated band width HB2 = greater of 5 x [(OD2 - ID2)/2 + (ID x SB)]/OD
for piping size up to 6 NPS and with a minimum of 2 circumferential control
zone.
Minimum gradient control band(GCB) width beyond heated band width =4 x √Rt]
