Dear all,
Production test coupons were used simulating the whole situation (first incorrect PWHT, and then second correct). Mechanical test report (hardness and impact) showed appropriate results. After that, PWHT on vessel was performed at temperature 620°C min.
Thank you all for your help
Dear Dhurjati Sen,
Unfortunately, I don't have data about the number of thermocouples, I know only, that PWHT was performed generally below 620°C.
Yes, I think we will accept PWHT, because I am also concerned that repeating of PWHT could lead to complications (softening of base material, I...
Dear pradipgoswami,
SP-0472 is referred as one and only applicable document for this project. We do not refer to API 945... Do you know why there is such a big difference between API and NACE recommendations of PWHT procedure? Why the NACE is stricter?

Our vendor informed us that PWHT was performed slightly below 620°C. However, results of hardness test were below the maximum value of hardness required in H2S...
