    The document summarizes the step cooling test procedure used to evaluate temper embrittlement according to API RP934. The test involves subjecting impact specimens of steel to different heat treatments, including a minimum post-weld heat treatment and additional step cooling, and measuring the transition temperature where the steel becomes embrittled. Acceptance criteria require the shift in transition temperature after step cooling to be less than 50°F or satisfy the equation T2 ≤ 20 + 0.6T1, where T1 and T2 are the transition temperatures before and after step cooling, respectively.

    Step Cooling Test Specimens (API RP934)
     48 Impact specimens-each set of test specimens
    at 8* selected test temperatures/ 3 specimen at
    each test temperature (at least 2 temperatures

    (10°C), where
     CvTr40 = 40 ft-
    ft-lb (55J) transition temperature (T1 = -63°
    63°F)
    of the base metal subjected to minimum PWHT only.
     CvTr40 = the shift of the 40 ft-
    ft-lb (55J) transition temperature
    (T2 = -49°
    49°F) of material subjected to minimum PWHT plus
    step cooling heat treatment.

    cooling heat treatment.

    Example, -63 + 2.5 x (-


    (-49 – (-63)) = -28°
    28°F < 50°
