Re: [MW:30021] Re: Difference between Control thickness & nominal material thickness ( Para. 331.1.3(c)

The control thickness (nothing but a governing thickness for PWHT)  is defined in para. 331.1.3 (a) shall be used.

No, Exemption on PWHT is based on Nominal thickness not control thickness.

Dear Gents, 

i understand that if control thickness less than 25.4 mm , preheat & PWHT is not required as per Code ? 

thank you.

Nominal material Thickness as  Example--- Pressure pipe is supported by another pipe( non pressure part) is being welded, Pressure part pipe thickness is 20mm whereas non pressure part thickness is 10mm,  In this case Nominal material thickness is 20mm. This is my understanding

Hello all,

Here in the particular case the controlled thickness at weld shall be 6 mm.

Now as per table 331.1.3, for P.No-1 , for all control thickness , PWHT is exempted only if preheat of 95 deg c is applied on nominal material thickness > 25 mm. Here nominal material thickness is defined as thicker of the materials being joined.

So in this case, preheat shall require before welding.

thanks & regards

Control thickness is the thickness of weld and Nominal material thickness is the thickness of material

PWHT Requirement is based on control thickness (Table 331.1.3)

Preheat requirement is based on nominal material thickness

Hope you understand

Dear Experts, 

Could you please advise me for following question: 

Which thickness , Control thickness or Nominal material thicness as defined in Para. 331.1.3(c), shall be used to determine whether PWHT required or not in case preheat of 95 Deg C is NOT applied ? ( P-No. 1)

For case below, in accordance with ASME B31.3 2016 Ed , PWHT is required or not when preheat of 95 Deg C is NOT applied ? 

Thanks in advance.
