S9074-AR-GIB-010/278 Table VI-Post Heat Requirements for Welded ferrous alloys

Applicable supplementary provisions and exceptions

Pressure vessels, turbines classes A-F, A-LT, A-1, A-2, A-3, A- 4, T-1, and T-2 For class A valves installed in P piping sytems (see 3.3.2), stress relief may be performed according to class P requirements of this table. Thermal stress relief is required for all carbon steel pressure vessel classes except it is not mandatory for classes A-3 and A-4 of weld thickness 3/4 inch and less provided (a) that carbon is less than 0.35 percent, (b) there are no nozzles with finished inside diameter greater than 2 inches or connections forming ligaments that require increase shell or head thickness, (c) that if cellulose coated electrodes are used the joints shall be preheated to 200*F minimum and this preheat maintained during welding.

Thermal stress relief shall be performed where required for dimensional stability.

Thermal stress relief required when one or more of the following conditions are apply:

(a) Carbon content is over 0.35 percent.

(b) Weld thickness is in excess of 3/4 inch. (c) Joints 2-2/4 inches nominal pipe size (nps) and larger are welded with cellulose coated electrodes and the preheat or interpass temperature was below 200*F.
