Dear All,
As far as ToFD has many advantages for identification of defects and traceability, are there possible defects type for which ToFD is not effective and can be blind ?
Best regards
Thank you
The design standard is API5L (Pipe line)
You know API5L has not the same approach as ASME codes
The API5L require PWHT for high frequency electric welding process. But for the others refer to the manufacturer decision. Now it is very important to get other reference or sientific...
I've ordered already E81T1-K2M wire 1.2 and 1.6mm and we will proceed the welding with 80°C preheat and without PWHT for the pipe 1200mm diameter and 18mm thickness.
What is your opinion?
Return back to the mane question.
For pressure equipment welding, each welder should be qualified by test according to a referenced Code/Standard. But pay attention that this qualification is not a general qualification. It shall cover the welding variables of the production welding.

Thank you All,
I agree that some codes specifiy the requirement for PWHT, but some standards or codes do not specify clearly ex. AWS D1.1 or API 5L or AWWA C200...
I look for some thing to help the engineer to decide for PWHT when not clearly specified in the codes or standards.
Best Regards
Dear All,
Can somebody help me to find any technical book or web site which gives the rules how can we determine if a PWHT is required for any carbon steel ?
Thank you
Dear All,
Does the API1104 or the API 5L requires a post weld heat treatment after welding API 5L X70 pipes ?
If no, technically is it necessary to PWHT a pipe API 5L X70 having 18mm thickness?
Thank you
Dear All,
Can some body advice me which type of electrode can I use to weld XC48 or C45 to S235JR (EN10025) material.
(ALL carbon steel)
Thank you in advance
Dear All,
When looking in the AWS D1.1 (contractual standard) I don't find any direct requirement to perform or not a PWHT of full penetration butt weld of carbon steel plates thickness 50mm up to 105mm.
Can some body help me in order to decide if it is required or not to perform a PWHT for...
