[MW:25086] Re: PWHT thickness requirement as per ASME B 31.3 2014

My understanding is 

ASME B31.3 2014 comes to be more stringent,

Less than 5mm, PWHT is required.

More than 5mm, PWHT can be exempted if Multi-lay welded. (In my point of view, each pass can assist heating to bottom layer)

More than 25 mm, PWTH can be exempted if Preheat is conducted.

I confirm for ASME B31.3-2014 all tickness of Group P1 the PWHT is not required. The only prescription is the PREHEAT at 95 °C for thickness >25 mm.

This is my interpretation, correct me if i'm wrong!
