Internal Oil Firing PWHT

Internal Oil Firing Post Weld Heat Treatment (PWHT) is a highly effective method used for stress relieving thick-walled pressure components such as boilers, heat exchangers, and large diameter piping. By heating the component internally using an oil-fired burner system, this technique ensures uniform temperature distribution and deep heat penetration—ideal for heavy industrial equipment that cannot be heated externally with conventional systems.

Codes and Standards Followed

Internal Oil Firing PWHT carried out by our team complies with leading global standards and customer-specific specifications, including:

  • ASME Section VIII – Stress relieving requirements for pressure vessels and high-pressure components

  • API 530 / API 934 – PWHT guidelines for heavy-wall reactors, reformers, and furnace tubes

  • API 650 / API 653 – Heat-treatment requirements for welded storage tanks and repairs

  • ASME B31.1 / B31.3 – PWHT requirements for power piping and process piping systems

  • ISO 17663 – Heat-treatment quality requirements for welded joints

  • Client-specific PWHT procedures & metallurgical specifications

Advantages of Bogie Hearth Furnaces

  • Uniform Internal Temperature Distribution
    Ensures consistent heat penetration throughout thick-wall surfaces and welded joints.
  • Ideal for Heavy & Large-Diameter Components
    Suitable for boilers, reformers, drums, columns, and pressure vessels that cannot be externally heated.
  • Deep Heat Penetration
    Achieves the desired metallurgical transformation for high-thickness materials and alloy steels.
  • Efficient for On-Site Applications
    Can be performed directly at the plant without dismantling or relocating large equipment.
