Hi Forum Members,
I’ve come across many companies who perform heat treatments on a regular basis and perform in-house certification of heat treatment technicians. This may incorporate in house theoretical training on various PWHT followed by field experiences and hand on training.
AWS D-10.10 (Clause 14) Recommended practices for Local PWHT insists that operators should be trained and a proper documentation shall be maintained. Equipments used for local PWHT shall be periodically calibrated, such as thermocouples, strip Chart recorders and the heating devices.
Within our organization, companies performing PWHT are required to show their competence, as and when required.
The following documents provide useful information on training of heat treatment technicians:-
· http://www.tradesecrets.gov.ab.ca/occupations/pdf/occupation_exams/209_exams/209_exam_t1.pdf
· http://www.tradesecrets.gov.ab.ca/occupations/pdf/occupation_competency_profiles/209_competency_profile.pdf
These guidelines specified in these documents may not be mandatory in many places, but training always improves the competence levels and often this may be done in-house.
Thanks

Subramani,
I have dealt with a lot of PWHT guys down the years, there doesn't appear to be any formal system of qualification. The majority of them I
know are however trained electricians and the rest just have on the job training......
