WPS being used with the P8 fabrication, which was to be given a stress relief for dimensional stabilization at approximately 399 to 416 degrees C, did not show PWHT allowed nor did the referenced PQRs list Heat treatment as a variable. We discussed this with Vendor`s welding engineer, and it was his opinion that the low stress relief temperatures did not qualify as a heat treatment under ASME Code rules. He stated that only if the temperatures would approach annealing temperatures should the activity be considered a heat treatment requiring support with a heat treated PQR.
고객측의 Welding Engineer역시 WPS에 온도등을 기입할 필요가 없다고 합니다.
그렇게 하는것이 정확하게 맞는지 검토 부탁드립니다.
관련코드는 ASME Sec.III(NG)& IX.입니다.
감사합니다.
