Hi everyone,
I would like to clear myself about heat treatment of forming head.
- My design for pressure vessel requires PWHT
-At the same time, ellipsoidal head forming also requires heat treatment due to elongation after forming.
- Now one of my colleague request me that they want do only one time of PWHT after fabrication the whole vessel. When I check ASME section VIII Div1, UCS 79, the code pointed to follow as per UCS 56(PWHT).
-So the question I want to know is,
(1) Can I accept to make only one time of PWHT for whole vessel and Forming of head?
(2) If Yes, please which points I should take care to control?
(3) If No, please let me know the point why I can't accept and the section of ASME I should refer.
Thanks a lot for your help.
