[MW:35426] B31.3 Paragraph 331.1.3 Definition of Thicknesses Governing PWHT

Dear Expert ,
kindly help me to explain what mean control thickness in below paragraph 
331.1.3 Definition of Thicknesses Governing PWHT
(a) The term control thickness as used in Tables
331.1.1-1 and 331.1.3-1 is the lesser of
(1) the thickness of the weld
(2) the thickness of the materials being joined at the
weld or the thickness of the pressure-containing material
if the weld is attaching a nonpressure-containing material
to a pressure-containing material.
(b) Thickness of the weld, which is a factor in determining
the control thickness, is defined as follows:
(1) groove welds (girth and longitudinal) — the
thicker of the two abutting ends after weld preparation,
including I.D. machining
(2) fillet welds — the throat thickness of the weld
(3) partial penetration welds — the depth of the
weld groove
(4) material repair welds — the depth of the cavity to
be repaired
(5) branch welds — the dimension existing in the
plane intersecting the longitudinal axes, calculated as indicated
for each detail using the thickness through the weld
for the details shown in Figures 328.5.4-2 and 328.5.4-4.

Heat tint (temper) colours on stainless steel surfaces heated in air // Heat tint

Introduction The colour formed when stainless steel is heated, either in a furnace application or in the heat affected zone of welds, is dependent on several factors that are related to the oxidation resistance of the steel. The heat tint or temper colour formed is caused by the progressive thickening of the surface oxide layer and so, as temperature is increased, the colours change.   Oxidation resistance of stainless steels However, there are several factors that affect the degree of colour change and so there is no a single table of colour and temperature that represents all cases. The colours formed can only be used as an indication of the temperature to which the steel has been heated. Factors affecting the heat tint colours formed Steel composition The chromium content is the most important single factor affecting oxidation resistance. The higher the chromium, the more heat resistant the steel and so the development of the heat tint colou...
