b) High velocity combustion equipment

c) Electrical heating pad
6.1.2 Power supply : a) LPG gas
b) Input ~ 440V 3ph + Neutral (70 amps)
6.1.3 Insulation : 128 gm / cm ceramic fiber.
6.1.4 Temperature controller: Thermocouple sensor, Auto temperature programmer or
manual gas regulator control unit.
6.1.5 Temperature recorder: Chino multi point temperature recorder for Type `K'
thermocouple calibration twice a year basis.
6.1.6 Thermocouple : Type `K' confirms to BS 4397 Part 4 with certificate of conformity.
6.1.7 Compensating cable: Copper constantan type conforms to ASTM B220, E452.

6.2 Heating Method

A. Furnace
6.2.1 The heat treatment operation will be by means of high velocity LPG burners insert equal
spaced at the lower portion of the furnace chamber and will fire parallel with furnace
hot face wall.
6.2.2 Manually adjusted exhaust flues shall be positioned in the roof of the furnace so that
exhaust gases will be controlled to maintain the positive pressures within the furnace
chamber. Gas and combustion air changes will be made manually so that hot gases
produce a `scrubbing action’ and maintain total temperature and expansion uniformity.
6.2.3 The high velocity burner is design to give maximum flame length of approximately 12
inches (300mm) and hence only hot gases reach the component. The turndown ration is
extremely high – in order of 50:1 and this feature gives complete and accurate
temperature control at all stages of the firing. In addition no local ‘hot spot’ are
produced and optimum temperature uniformity is achieved.
6.2.4 The hot gases omitting from the burner(s) reach an exit velocity of 450ft per second (150
meters per second). The high speed of these gases produces a ‘scrubbing’ action on
the component walls, which further promotes temperature uniformity.
6.2.5 The combustion product is accurately controlled at all times, and minimum oxidation of
the component occurs.
6.2.6 The burner(s) fitted with constant spark ignition devices to give completed safety of the
firing process. The flame is also monitored by an ultra-violet flame-sensing device
coupled to an automatic gas safety shut-off valve. Coupled to burner, via flexible hose,
is a combustion air fan, which can be accurately controlled to deliver exact quantities
of air to the burner. The burner(s) is of nozzle mixed design so as to eliminate any danger
of burner light back.
6.2.7 The positive pressure within the furnace chamber shall be maintained by utilizing
adjustable damper controls at the exhaust flue positions.

B. Electrical Heating

6.2.8 The heating elements shall be applied either as a single band, or two discrete bands,
arranged symmetrically about the centerline of the weld seam. The heated bandwidth
shall be a minimum of 6t, inclusive of any centerline gap, where “t” is the maximum
thickness at the joint and/or. Suitable pad size shall be used to get adequate and
consistence temperature.
6.2.9 The centerline circumferential gap between two bands of elements shall be limited to a
maximum of 30mm or “t”, whatever is the lesser. (t = wall thickness) for wall thickness
above 10mm. For a wall thickness below 10mm, the maximum gap shall be 10mm.

Revision No. 3 Revision Date 15 October 2014 Page Number 3 OF 4

6.2.10 Longitudinal gaps between individual elements shall be limited to 50mm or “t”,
whichever is the lesser, for wall thickness above 10mm. For a wall thickness below 10mm,
the maximum longitudinal gap shall be 10mm.
6.2.11 For a two band heating system, the heater pads on one side of the weld should be
rotated one quarter of a pad width, with respect to the heaters on the opposite side.
6.2.12 Where the nominal pipe outside diameter is equal to or greater than 250mm (10”), the
heating pads shall be arranged so as to give independent control of temperature on the
top and bottom halves.
6.2.13 Where the wall thicknesses of the two joint members differ, the elements shall be
arranged so as to give side-to-side temperature control.
6.2.14 Thermal insulation should be achieved by following means one layer of 50mm (T),
128kg/m density ceramic fiber or rock wool (50mm) which is suitable for hot face
temperature up to 1200 ºC.
6.2.15 The insulation shall be applied for a minimum of 300mm on each side of weld that is to
be PWHTed. Insulation shall not be removed before the temperature has cooled to
below 150oC. Opening shall be restricted in order to eliminate drafts or air circulation that
could lower the temperature on the inside surface of the joint unless the internal surface
also insulated.
6.2.16 Insulation shall be fixed using black annealed iron wire taking care, not damaging or
cutting into the insulation.
6.2.17 By following proper PWHT cycles, the item or the particular joint shall be completed & the
cooling rate should be controlled under insulation

6.3 Temperature Recording & Monitoring

6.3.1 Thermocouple used to monitor the temperature during the heat treatment process shall
be type ‘K’ as describe in 6.1.6. Thermocouple shall be welded onto the vessel by means
of capacitor discharge action (Electric Resistance Sparkling Process) with the aid of the
thermocouple attachment unit, sufficient precautions shall be taken to ensure surface
defect will not be created. The thermocouple shall be removed and the surface or the
weld seam shall be smoothened by filing or grinding after heat treatment.
6.3.2 Thermocouples shall be attached onto the vessel at different location and thickness on
each firing. Number and location of thermocouple shall be as per individual Heat
Treatment Work Instruction which to be prepared prior to PWHT application.
6.3.3 Thermocouple indicated shall be connected to the temperature recorder thus providing
a total record of temperature variation and trends during the whole heat treatment
cycle. Recorder used shall be of the range 0-1200oC and chart speed of 25mm or 50mm
per hour.
6.3.4 Temperature recorder used shall be calibrated at least once a year and calibration
certificates shall be submitted to client’s representative.
6.4 Heating Temperature requirement
6.4.1 PWHT shall be conducted as per Code & Specification requirement.
6.4.2 For case of Carbon Steel material, ASME Section VIII Division 1, Part UCS shall be follow.
Heating, soaking & cooling requirement shall be as per UCS-56 of the code.
5.2 Heating rate from 425oC to soaking temperature, the rate of heating shall not exceed
222oC divided by the maximum thickness of shell or head plate in inches, but in no case
more than 222oC/hr.
5.3 Holding temperature and holding time shall be as per Table UCS-56.
5.4 The cooling rate from holding temperature to 425oC shall not exceed 280oC/hour
divided by the maximum thickness of shell or head in inches, but in no case more than
280oC.
5.5 Cooling rate from 425oC down to ambient temperature, the component may be
allowed to cool naturally in the furnace.
