A General Requirements (Pre-Work)

A written procedure describing the general PWHT requirements of ASME

SAES-W-011,
A1 B31.3, has been reviewed and approved by CSD and has been verified
Para. 13.1
using SAIC-W-2013 and accepted by PID.

Contractor has prepared a Table listing following info for each joint or
component requiring heat treatment reviewed and approved by PID .
a) location
b) drawing number
c) diameter
d) wall thickness e)
SAES-W-011,
A2 material f)
Para. 13.2
heating rate g)
cooling rate h)
soak temperature i)
soak time
Verify that code and SA requirements have been met.

"Carbon & low alloy steel butt welds requiring PWHT for Process
Conditions & Services are as listed:
A) All caustic soda (NaOH) solutions, incl. conditions where caustic
carryover may occur (e.g. downstream of caustic injection points).
B) All monoethanolamine (MEA) solutions (all temperatures).
C) All diglycol amine (DGA) solutions above 138°C design temp.
D) Rich amino diisoprop (ADIP) solutions above 90°C design temp.
E) All lean ADIP solutions above 60°C design temperature. SAES-W-011,
A3
F) Boiler Deaerator serv (ambient temp vacuum deaerator = exempt) Para. 13.3
G) Hydrogen service for P-No. 3, 4, and 5A/B/C base materials.
H) All diethanolamine (DEA) solutions.
I) All MDEA / aMDEA solutions
These reqmts also apply to external welds to attach non-pressure
containing component to piping (e.g., reinforcement pad or sleeve
attached to the pipe) and to seal welds. Seal welds on threaded valves
may be exempt if PWHT will damage valve internals."

For applications where PWHT is required by service fluid (Item A3 above)

" OR " where hardness limits are specified:
a) Reductions in PWHT temperature or alternative temperatures
below normal holding temps listed in ASME B31.3 are not permitted. SAES-W-011,
A4
b) Minimum PWHT soak time shall be 1 hour. Para. 13.9
c) If hardness limits are specified, production weld soak time shall not be
less than 80% of PQR soak time unless approved by CSD.
