ASME Sec VIII Div1 Lethal service and PWHT
ASME Sec VIII Div1 Lethal service and PWHT
(OP)
We have Pig trap (ASME Sec VIII Div1) under Lethal Service having Quick opening door (QOC).
Vessel requires PWHT per UW-2 Lethal service requirements.
Query: Quick opening Closure (QOC) was welded to Pig trap and the PWHT was done inline with Code requirements for Lethal Service. However the Closure door which was hinged to QOC was removed and has not undergone PWHT.
Is this is acceptable scenario to have hinged part not undergoing PWHT and what is the specific reference in DIV1 for such exemption.

Is this the first time the vessel has ever been repaired?
Was the door welded or repaired during this specific repair?
Was the assembly (door and vessel) assembled, welded, PWHT and NDE, and hydrotested as an assembly before starting this repair job that required your question?
RE: ASME Sec VIII Div1 Lethal service and PWHT
Quick actuating door assembly hub is welded to Pig trap. The hinged Door was removed and had not gone under PWHT, entire vessel was done.
After PWHT the door was hydro tested. Required NDE has been done.

The problem with sloppy work is that the supply FAR EXCEEDS the demand

Question: For a P No 1 material , does General Note (b)(3)(e) of Table UCS-56-1 provide an exemption to postweld heat treatment of the weld overlay cladding applied to a carbon steel vessel that is designated to be in lethal service?
Reply: Yes.
So if you meet the requirements of Table UCS-56 notes, PWHT of door can be exempted.
