GENERAL NOTES:
(a) When it is impractical to postweld heat treat at the temperature specified in this Table, it is permissible to carry out the postweld
heat treatment at lower temperatures for longer periods of time in accordance with Table UCS-56.1.
(b) Postweld heat treatment is mandatory under the following conditions:
(1) for welded joints over 11/2 in. (38 mm) nominal thickness;
(2) for welded joints over 11/4 in. (32 mm) nominal thickness through 11/2 in. (38 mm) nominal thickness unless preheat is
applied at a minimum temperature of 200°F (95°C) during welding. This preheat need not be applied to SA-841 Grades A and
B, provided that the carbon content and carbon equivalent (CE) for the plate material, by heat analysis, do not exceed 0.14%
and 0.40%, respectively, where
(3) for welded joints of all thicknesses if required by UW-2, except postweld heat treatment is not mandatory under the con-
ditions specified below:
(a) for groove welds not over 1/2 in. (13 mm) size and fillet welds with a throat not over 1/2 in. (13 mm) that attach nozzle
connections that have a finished inside diameter not greater than 2 in. (50 mm), provided the connections do not form ligaments
that require an increase in shell or head thickness, and preheat to a minimum temperature of 200°F (95°C) is applied;
(b) for groove welds not over 1/2 in. (13 mm) in size or fillet welds with a throat thickness of 1/2 in. (13 mm) or less that attach
tubes to a tubesheet when the tube diameter does not exceed 2 in. (50 mm). A preheat of 200°F (95°C) minimum must be applied
when the carbon content of the tubesheet exceeds 0.22%.
(c) for groove welds not over 1/2 in. (13 mm) in size or fillet welds with a throat thickness of 1/2 in. (13 mm) or less used for

attaching nonpressure parts to pressure parts provided preheat to a minimum temperature of 200°F (95°C) is applied when the
thickness of the pressure part exceeds 11/4 in. (32 mm);
(d) for studs welded to pressure parts provided preheat to a minimum temperature of 200°F (95°C) is applied when the
thickness of the pressure part exceeds 11/4 in. (32 mm);
(e) for corrosion resistant weld metal overlay cladding or for welds attaching corrosion resistant applied lining (see UCL-34)
provided preheat to a minimum temperature of 200°F (95°C) is maintained during application of the first layer when the thickness
of the pressure part exceeds 11/4 in. (32 mm).
