Rules for the nuclear industry PNAE G
For example, PNAE G-7-009-89 applies to welding and surfacing of equipment and pipelines, on which the Rules for the design and safe operation of equipment and pipelines of nuclear power plants are spreaded.
These rules establish the basic requirements for welding equipment, welding materials, preparation and assembly for welding, welding, surfacing, heat treatment of welded joints and deposited parts (products), safety measures, as well as the main recommended types of welded joints and welding modes (surfacing).
Repair of structures, in operation, should be carried out according to the technological process drawn up in accordance with the requirements of these rules, taking into account the specifics of the structure being repaired.
Heat treatment requirements are contained in paragraph 8.
In local heat treatment of welded joints, the general zone of controlled metal heating consists of the main and additional zones and should include a welded joint and sections of the main metal adjacent to its edges.
The main zone of controlled heating includes a welded joint and sections of the main metal adjacent to its edges at distances equal to the nominal thicknesses of the welded parts with a thickness of parts up to 50 mm (inclusive), and with a larger thickness of parts - at a distance of 50 mm. Within the main zone, the temperature of the metal during the aging process should correspond to the set stress relieving temperature (austenization) taking into account the established tolerances.
An additional zone of controlled heating includes sections of the common zone main metal that are not included in the main zone. Within the additional zone, a decrease in the temperature of the metal during the aging process is allowed in comparison with the set stress relieving temperature (austenization), but not more than 50 °C from the minimum allowable temperature (taking into account the minus tolerance).
The temperature of the welded joints stress relieving from steels of various grades, for which the indications of Table. 15 provide a different temperature of stress relieving is seted by. In this case, the nominal temperature of the stress relieving should not fall beyond the interval between the nominal temperatures determined in accordance with the instructions of the table. 15 for stress relieving of welded joints of parts from steels of the corresponding grades, and should not meet the requirements of subdivision. 8.12 and 8.13.
