PWHT (stress relief) can be applied by electrical resistance heating, furnace<br />

heating, or if allowed by the code, local flame heating. Temperatures should<br />

be monitored and recorded by thermocouples attached to the part being<br />

heated. Multiple thermocouples are often necessary to ensure proper PWHT<br />

of all components. Adequate support should be provided during any postweld<br />

heat treatment to prevent the sagging that could occur during the heat<br />

treatment.
