We are reviewing requirement of PWHT related to NACE RP0472 and MR0103 Para4.2
PWHT requirement for clad materials in pressure vessel codes*
; It depends on the thickness and material of base metal. If the head (CS, 60mm thick with 316L SS clad) is one of the pressure vessel parts per ASME, the PWHT for whole vessel is mandatory requirement.
* ASME Sec. VIII, Div.1, UCL-34
However, I would like to confirm how about Carbon Steel material, Is this also comply with clad material.

RE: PWHT requirement for NACE MR0103
Your question, however is not quite clear to me, so my answer is:- for the mentioned thickness, the head (C/S with or withot cladding) must be heat treated after forming, particularly if it is made of welded segments.
Please clarify your question, if the answer missed the point.
