Thank you. Even our understanding the same.

But, in our project for various piping classes Licensor's / PMC specifications specify the PWHT requirement.
Four variables are being use.

For Process Carbon Steel Piping class : PWHT : As per ASME B31.3 (That means above 20mm thickness)
For all NACE Service piping classes (Carbon Steel) : PWHT : YES  (that means for all thickness unlike code)
For Steam service class : PWHT : IBR (we concluded similar to B31.3)
For all Alloy steel Piping class : PWHT : YES (that means for all thickness unlike code)
For certain steam service class PWHT : As per ASME B31.1 (That means above 20mm thickness)

For Category "D" fluid service Piping class : PWHT : NO (hence, the question)

Not able to interpret the philosophy.

It is required for all P1 material >20mm, irrespective of fluid service.

Hello,


As per ASME B31.3; for CS material PWHT requirement is above 20mm.

Is this applicable to category D fluid service class also?


Or code has given liberty to skip PWHT for category D fluid service even though thickness is greater than 20mm.


Pls. advise.


Thanks in advance,
