ASME-Holding time after welding before NDT

[Odd01]

Hi,

Is there someone that know where to find in ASME standard where it is mention holding time after welding before
NDT can be carry out(example 24h after welding).

Tanks, Odd01

Such time limits are not defined.

Not sure on ASME, but AWS D1.1 C6.11 specifies 48h after welding for high strength QT steels (ASTM A514, A517). NORSOK has a similar requirement.

Thanks for information.
