--Dear Exerts,AWS D1.1, Table 4.6 item 7 requires that:''An increase in maximum preheat or inter pass temperature qualified''Note the following:1. this table specified requirements for supplementary essential variables.2. the clause use 'or' not 'and' which implies that either inter pass or preheat whichever is greater among the two should be used to determine the maximum temperature specified in the WPS.3. since 110 deg is the maximum temperature qualified, the maximum temperature should be 110 + 56 to meet code requirement.4. since 30 deg is the minimum temperature qualified, the minimum temperature could be less than 30 deg by 15 deg as long as the requirement table 4.5 note d is met.On Saturday, 12 May 2018 04:19:41 WAT, Kannayeram Gnanapandithan <kgpandithan@gmail.com> wrote:Preheat is measured at 75mm or 4XT for thickness less than 50mm, away from edge of joint and interpass is measured on the weld or adjacent to weld because location of impact is weld and adjacent to weld.--On Fri, 11 May 2018 2:24 pm 'wilfred kojo' via Materials & Welding, <materials-welding@googlegroups.com > wrote:--Gerald,Because of the effect of grain size on mechanical properties ( tensile and impact properties) of carbon steels, micro alloying elements which combine with oxygen or nitrogen to produce inclusions are usually added to restrain the grain growth - this is called ''pinning'' of grain boundary. At higher temperature, depending on the type of inclusions formed, these inclusions decompose thereby losing their grain boundary pinning ability.There is specific temperature range at which this happens . The level of grain growth depend on time at this temperature range. The higher the carbon steel at this temperature range during solidification which is controlled by cooling rate, the more the grain growth which in turn negatively affect both tensile and impact properties. Therefore specifying the maximum inter pass temperature is to limit the amount of time at this temperature range.Also the cooling rate depending on hardenability of the material, controls microstructure formed which also influences susceptibility to cracking. The factors that affect hydrogen cracking are - level of hydrogen, susceptible microstructure and level of restraint. Preheating reduces the cooling rate thereby improving microstructure formed and also allow more time for evolution of hydrogen from the weld.Higher cooling rate reduces the impact property but influences the formation of less susceptible microstructure.Slower cooling rate increases impact property but favours formation of more susceptible microstructure. Hence the intent of upper and lower preheat/inter pass temperature is to limit welding within range of cooling rate to ensure that microstructure which determines mechanical properties and soundness of weld qualified during PQR qualification is maintained to meet the project requirements.Note:1. Preheat temperature controls the cooling rate of the first weld.2. Inter pass temperature ( the temperature of the material just before the commencement of the subsequent weld usually measured at the bevel edge) controls the cooling rate of subsequent weld. It's not the maximum temperature attained during welding.

In the same way maximum inter pass temperature also become the maximum preheat temperature qualified.If the inter pass temperature of 110 deg. did not affect the mechanical properties of subsequent weld negatively why will the preheat of 110 deg.Note minimum preheat temperature is essential variable while the maximum inter pass/preheat temperature is supplementary essential (only applicable when impact property is essential).The maximum inter pass temperature is applicable because at higher inter pass or preheat temperature cooling rate will be low which lead to grain growth (the same reason why heat input is also supplementary essential variable). The higher the grain size the lower the impact property.On Thursday, 10 May 2018 05:41:03 WAT, Ramesh <rameshkannandevaraj@gmail.com> wrote: Hi
Practically your PQR was not preheated. It's room temperature and it was recorded as 30 Deg C. but your WPS indicates preheat 110 Deg C !!! how is this acceptable when code does not allow to increase more than 56 Deg C from your PQR,
i.e. 30+56 is maximum allowed in WPS. So u have to restrict up to 86 Deg C NOT 110 Deg C
in case of interpass , your PQR recorded 173 Deg C, so 173+56 is maximum allowed in WPS i.e. 229 Deg C
In your case , preheat temperature is mentioned wrong i.e. 110 Deg C instead of 86 Deg C which is not acceptable. IP temperature mentioned / restricted 220 Deg C which is OK.

My interpretation is the increase in 56°C is applicable only for inter pass temperature. The details are as given below.
PQR Test coupon thickness : 30 mm
PQR Preheat temperature : 30°C
PQR Inter pass temperature : 173°C
Job Thickness : > 38 mm to 65 mm ( As per Table 3.3)
Preheat temperature : 110°C
Inter pass temperature : 220°C
MDMT : -40 °C
As per AWS D 1.1 Table 4.6 Point no. 7 an increase more than 56°C in max preheat or interpass temperature is essential variable for CVN testing applications.
Based on the above clause, the client is insisting that the Qualified Range for thickness in WPS shall be restricted to 38 mm as the preheat is increased from 30°C to 110°C which is not acceptable .
Please provide me if you any interpretation on it from AWS.
