Post Weld Heat Treatment

This document outlines exemptions to mandatory post weld heat treatment (PWHT) according to different standards and material properties. It specifies that PWHT is not permitted for sour/hydrogen service where the chromium content of the material is greater than 1.25% according to API 582 and B31.3 2012/2014. The B31.3 2012 standard exempts PWHT for carbon content less than or equal to 0.15%, thickness less than or equal to 13mm, stress below 490MPa, and preheat over 120°C. B31.3 2014 has similar exemptions with additional conditions listed for thickness over 5mm, socket/fillet welds, and seal/non-load carrying
