Re: [MW:35807] PWHT Requirements for WPS

The PWHT is an essential parameter. The existing WPS can be used if the PWHT temperature range is within ±25°C 

of the prior 631°C. Still, a holding time deviation, from 450 minutes to 180 minutes, generally requires requalification 

or validation. Holding time is much stricter and should be based on material thickness and code passivity.

What about holding time can we make new WPS and reduce holding time to as per the requirement 3 hour from 7.5 hours

You can use

Pl note you can not go down less than 595 Deg C

Dear Expert,

I have a WPS for SMAW+SAW process Material SA 516 GR.60/70 with PWHT requirements of 631°C temperature and 450 minutes holding time. 

Now, I have a new project with PWHT requirements of 600±25°C temperature and 3 hours holding time.

Can I use the existing WPS for this new project? What is the acceptable deviation (±) for PWHT requirements?

Looking forward to your guidance.

Best regards,
Pankaj Choudhary
