B31.3 Harndess Tests
B31.3 Harndess Tests
(OP)
In the 2014 edition of B31.3, Para 331.1.7 was removed as well as the BHN values in Table 331.1.1. However, Para 331.1.7 is still referenced throughout the standard.
Does this mean that Hardness testing is no longer required after PWHT?

RE: B31.3 Harndess Tests
Are there more remaining references to 331.1.7?
Do any of the B31.3 experts here know if the intent was to remove the hardness test requirements? If so, could you comment on the reasoning for this change?
RE: B31.3 Harndess Tests
Does anyone here have any insight into why the hardness test requirements were removed?
