2. ( * ) These combinations may be joined by welding, Heat treatment may however, adversely affect
the properties of one of the base matels. Contact EIL-HMTD for further information.
3. ( * ) PWHT may affect the corrosion resistance properties of the austenitic stainless steel weld metal
under some conditions. Confirm with EIL/HMTD before use.

N) Not required where the ferritic member is within the limits shown in Note1. For situations outside
these limits, EIL-HMTD will provide specific instructions.
Note 1: PWHT not required for the followings conditions :
a. Carbon Steel Tubing or Piping of less than 3/4" wall thickness
b. Carbon - moly tubing or piping upto 3/4" wall thickness and min.specified tensile strength not
exceeding 71,000 psi.
c. Chrome - moly tubing or piping that meets all of the following requirements :
i) A maximum specified chromium content of 3%
ii) A maximum wall thickness of 1/2"
iii) A minimum preheat of 350°F(176°C) {300°F(149°C) for Cr content not exceeding 2%}
d. Fillet welds attaching external non-pressure parts such as lugs or other pipe supporting elements to
carbon steel, carbon-moly, 1 1/4Cr - 1/2Mo, 2 1/4Cr - 1Mo pipe or tube provided the throat thickness
of the fillet weld does not exceed.
i) 1/2" for attachments to carbon steel and carbon moly
ii) 1/4" for attachments to Chrome - Moly pipe or Tubes.
The minimum preheat temperature shall be as specified in Appendix B based on the pipe or tube wall
thickness.
e. Fillet welds used in slip-on and socket welding flanges and connections, as follows :
i) Carbon steel materials, regardless of thickness, when the weld throat thickness does not
exceed 5/8".
ii) Carbon -moly steel and chrome-moly steel (upto 3% max.chrome content), regardless of the
thickness, when the weld throat thickness does not exceed 1/2".
iii) The min. preheat temperature shall be as specified in Appendix B based on the pipe or tube
wall thickness.
Note 2 : No post weld heat treatment normally required. However, when service conditions require post weld
treatment, EIL-HMTD will provide specific instructions.
