PWHT Post Weld Heat Treatment on Weld in Oil & Gas Field

This course on PWHT (Post Weld Heat Treatment) has been specifically designed for professionals involved in welding, inspection, QA/QC, and project execution in the oil and gas, refinery, or pipeline industries.

Post Weld Heat Treatment is an essential thermal process carried out on materials and components after welding. It plays a critical role in reducing residual stresses, restoring material properties, preventing brittle fracture, and enhancing mechanical performance of the weld.

The course begins with the metallurgical basics including the Iron-Carbon diagram and critical temperature ranges. It gradually moves to preheating and post-heating practices, different PWHT methods, furnace calibration, and interpretation of heating curves.

You'll gain hands-on insights into stress relieving, chart recorder setups, ASME pipe thickness charts, WQT (Welder Qualification Test) relationships, and isometric drawing interpretations used in planning or documentation stages of heat treatment procedures.

Whether you're working on refinery piping, offshore platforms, or high-pressure vessels, understanding PWHT is crucial for ensuring the integrity and compliance of your weld joints.

This course is ideal for QA/QC Engineers, Welding Supervisors, Site Engineers, and Inspection professionals aiming to build practical confidence in heat treatment processes and standards.
