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.
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
