1.0 PURPOSE
The need for PWHT is driven by code and application requirements, as well as the service environment. In general, when PWHT is required, the goal is to increase the resistance to brittle fracture and relaxing residual stresses .Other desired results from PWHT may include hardness reduction, and material strength enhancements
2.0 SCOPE
This procedure states explicitly in detail the minimum requirement for Post Weld Heat Treatment (PWHT) by the electrical resistance method for nozzles, pipes & piping supports by use of Microprocessor/computer controlled system.
This procedure covers description of the equipment, method of heating, location and type of heating elements temperature measurement and thermocouple location.
Post Weld Heat Treatment (PWHT) shall be in accordance with ASME B31.3,&EIL Specification/Standards.
3.0 REFERENCE DOCUMENTS
1 ) EIL Specification No : 6-77-0001 Rev-3, and 6-77-0005 Rev-1 2 ) ASME Sec. VIII, Div 1 : Boiler & Pressure Vessels code. 3) ASME B31.3 : Chemical Plant and Petroleum Refinery Piping4.0 TERMS & DEFINITIONS

Shall execute the work and report as per approved procedure and quality plan.
QA/QC Engineer -1.Shall report to Project Manager.
-2.Shall be responsible for overall control of QA/QC activities,
implementation of Quality and Inspection Test Plan. 3.Shall be responsible for issuing corrective action reports based on periodical audits carried by him6.0 METHODOLOGY6.1 Person handling the PWHT activities Qualification
The basic requirement for PWHT operator shall be that he should either be a science/technical graduate or an electrical apprentice high school graduate with basic electrical knowledge to undertake the heat treatment at the site.
6.2 Description of Required Equipment & Materials
Equipment The equipment shall be of a proper make & it should be bearing proper
electrical power input/output. Power distribution (supply) shall be of 380/440V Ph, with either single phase secondary output or step down transformer secondary output (heat treatment unit) supplying low voltage circuits. The temperature control equipment shall be operated manually or through regulators or it shall be (made) operated automatically with the help of modular controls. The chart type temperature
recorder shall be used for recording temp. The frequency of calibration of temp recorder shall be three months & a proper valid sticker shall be displayed on the temp recorder. Materials
All the connection materials required for the heat treatment, shall be of standard quality & it shall be selected free of defects.
6.3 Surface Conditions
The welds to be heat treated shall be prepared free of greases, lubricants dust and coatings to avoid damage & short circuiting of accessories equipments. During heat treatment it shall be necessary to protect from oxidation the mechanical surfaces line flange faces, threaded holes, threads by the application of coating such as deoxaluminite or any other suitable coating material.
6.4 Method
The procedure for PWHT has to be followed for the various steel grades as mentioned
Basic Requirements to carryout PWHT and the methodology Thermocouples
a) The thermocouples shall be of the type K i.e. nickel-chromium / nickel aluminum type in accordance with BS 1041. Part 4. The thermocouples should have initial calibration check.
All the thermocouple wires should have valid certificate of conformance with a tolerance of
