[MW:14846] Heating/cooling rate requirement for PWHT

Dear All,

As per ASME section NX-4623,Above 800°F(425) the rate of heating and cooling in any hourly interval shall not exceed 400°F(222)divided by the maximum thickness in inches of the material being heat treated,but shall not exceed 400°F(222)and need not to be less than 100°F(56)in an hourly interval.

 

Now the actual heating and cooling rate in our production we made is 50/hour which is less than 56/hour required above. Our custom insist that this is unacceptable and should be reheated. But my understanding is that the 56 is not a mandatory requirement and only the upper limitation is required. Do I understand this correctly? PLZ guide me! Appreciate it!
