However, if postweld heat treatment is carried out on this vessel in accordance with the requirements of UW-40 to satisfy a customer requirement, may the letters HT be applied under the Code Symbol as addressed in UG-116(f)(1)? Reply (1): Yes. Question (2): A pressure vessel is constructed to Section VIII, Division 1, and does not require postweld heat treatment per UW-10. However, if postweld heat treatment is carried out on this vessel in accordance with a procedure that satisfies UW-40, except for the minimum temperature and hold time as required in Subsection C, to satisfy a customer requirement, may the letters HT be applied under the Code Symbol as addressed in UG116(f)(1)? Reply (2): No. Question (3): If PWHT is not required per UW-10, but is carried out to satisfy a customer requirement, is it required to record the heat treatment time and temperature in Line 6 of Form U-1 or Line 7 of Form U-1A per Table W-3, Note (27), regardless of whether or not the heat treatment performed satisfies UW-40?
