If preheat is specified in the WPS it is important that the inspector confirms<br />

that the required temperature is maintained. This can be done using several<br />

methods, including (1) thermocouples, (2) contact pyrometer, (3) infrared<br />

temperature measuring instruments, or (4) temperature indicating crayons.<br />

The inspector should also remember that if preheat is required during welding<br />

the same preheat should be applied during tack welding, arc gouging and<br />

thermal cutting of the metal, all of which induce temperature changes similar<br />

to welding of the joint.
