[MW:3551] RE: 3547] Re: PT after root pass in SS welding

Dear all,

Maintaining interpass temperature is up to the WPS preparing authority. You can stop very well at root pass, cool down and carry on PT. This shall be established in WPS / PQR enabling to follow the same during production welding.

Hello Syed

You can very well conduct PT after Root pass while welding SS, only ensure that temp. has come below 52 degreeC.
We regularly conduct PT after root pass when welding SS jobs even upto 70mm thick with GTAW.

The chances of cracking after GTAW root pass is seen in thick sections of CS and LAS material i.e above 20/25mm thick OR having high restraints. Hence while welding such materials,we conduct PT after hot pass only.
For thin sections LPT can be done safely after root pass for CS/LAS material.
This is only my experience which i would like to share with you!!

>Recently I faced the following issue and kindly clarify my doubt. A qualified WPS for stainless steel (A312-TP304H) requires PT after root pass. After root pass, its not possible to perform PT immediately unless the temperature reduces.
But, in normal practice,any weld is not to be stopped before completing hot pass or 1/3rd of groove thickness. I got difficulty in following both conditions on single weld joint.
Based on the above different opinions, kindly suggest me the right one with details.
