have similar situation in the past.
there was requirement for few reducing elbows of large size (>36" with
different dia at two ends) on suction side of a pump. since it is a
special item, it is designes as per ASME sec VIII div 1 and order was
placed on a vendor X.
Now vendor X sub ordered it to vendor Y as SA 234 WPB, made from plate
SA516 Gr 70. and got it, up to this stage its fine.
later vendor X welded an out let nozzle in his shop and PWHT'ed the
entire elbow. The vendor Y used a WPS without PWHT for long seam of
elbow. however vendor X used a WPS with PWHT for nozzle welding.
and even got the ASME stamp.
What happened to long seam of the elbow which is subjected PWHT?
