    is PWHT the "fabrication heat treatment" ?

    YuJie - I am not an engineer. Nor am I greatly experienced with pressure vessels - I am heavily involved with piping. I was just giving suggestions as to your question of what is "fabrication heat treatment" ?

    is PWHT the "fabrication heat treatment" ?

    Cold formed heads may be stress relieved separately to the vessel (prior to installation) if the completed vessel does not require PWHT. Would this then be classed as fabrication heat treatment ?

    WPS experation date

    A PQR never expires. If WPS requirements are superceded by a new edition you rewrite your WPS. If testing requirements are changed and become additional you perform those tests and add to your PQR.

    is PWHT the "fabrication heat treatment" ?

    Hot forming during fabrication at temperatures exceeding 900 F (480 C) will require mechanical testing. ???

    NDT performed after or before Hydrotest test

    Maybe this was a little bit harsh. - Another Client without a clue. :) As the Client is paying they can basically ask for anything they like that is additional to code requirements. I just try to point out to the Client the actual code requirements may be totally different to a 30 year old...

    NDT performed after or before Hydrotest test

    Hi Christine, Another Client without a clue. :) I had similar requirements on my last project with specifications that were about 30 years old from a major US O&G company. Did not take long to get the requirements waived with a bit of information provided. Just out of personal interest - how...

    Minimum PWHT cycles for piping

    Hi Hub, Where is this requirement noted in Para 331 ? My response to the OP was going to be two cycles is a Client requirement to cover initial PWHT and a possible second cycle if a repair is performed.

    NDT performed after or before Hydrotest test

    IdanPV has given you two examples. Here is B31.3 345.1 Required Leak Test Prior to initial operation, and after completion of the examinations required by para. 341, each piping system shall be tested to ensure tightness. The test shall be a hydrostatic leak test in accordance with para. 345.4...

    Tie-In Issue: 10”x10S SS316L to 24”x10S SS316L – Weld Clearance & Flange Type

    LI has probably nailed it. Here is my suggestion - not an engineer so please do not shoot me down. One flanged joint only - extend the pipe connected to the Exchanger. Install the 10" (or 8") stub on the extended Exchanger pipe
