For thicknesses over 125 mm (5 in.), the holding time shall be 5 hr plus 0.6 min for each additional mm (15 min for each additional inch) over 125 mm (5 in.). (e) Postweld heat treatment requirements for all other materials are covered in the tables listed below. Except as otherwise provided in these tables, all welds in pressure vessels or pressure vessel parts shall be given a postweld heat treatment at a temperature not less than that specified in the applicable table based on the nominal thickness as defined in paragraph 6.4.2.7.

P-No 6.4.2.4 The exemptions from postweld heat treatment permitted in paragraph 6.4.2.2 are not permitted when welding ferritic materials greater than 3 mm (1/8 in.) thick with the electron beam welding process, or when welding P-No 3, P-No 4, P-No 5A, P-No 5B, P-No 5C, P-No 6, P-No 7 (except for Type 405 and Type 410S), and P-No 10 materials using the inertia and continuous drive friction welding process. 6.4.2.5 When Holding Temperatures and Times May Be Exceeded. Except where prohibited in paragraph 6.4.2.2, holding temperatures and/or holding times in excess of the minimum values given in these tables may be used. A time-temperature recording of all postweld heat treatments shall be provided for review by the Inspector. The holding time at temperature specified in the table references of paragraph 6.4.2.2 need not be continuous. It may be an accumulation of time of multiple postweld heat treat cycles. 6.4.2.6 Heat Treatment of Pressure Parts Consisting of Different P-Number Groups. When pressure parts of two different P-Number groups are joined by welding, the postweld heat treatment shall be that required by the material having the higher postweld heat treatment temperature. When nonpressure parts are welded to pressure parts, the postweld heat treatment temperature of the pressure part shall control. 6.4.2.7 Definition of Nominal Thickness Governing Postweld Heat Treatment. The nominal thickness as used in this paragraph is the thickness of the welded joint as defined below. For pressure vessels or parts of pressure vessels being postweld heat treated in a furnace charge, it is the greatest weld thickness in any vessel or vessel part which has not previously been postweld heat treated. (a) When the welded joint connects parts of the same thickness, using a full penetration butt weld, the nominal thickness is the total depth of the weld exclusive of any permitted weld reinforcement. (b) For groove welds, the nominal thickness is the depth of the groove.
