Advantages of using field heat treating
	Weld preheats	Technician sets up a low voltage heater for a vessel-to-pipe preheat
	– Reduces the levels of thermal stress
	– Compensates for high heat losses
	– Minimizes the rate of weld hardening
	– Reduces the porosity of the weld
	– Reduces hydrogen cracking
	– Improves microstructure of heat affected zone
	Post weld heat treating
	– Relaxes residual stresses
	– Relaxes thermal stresses
	– Tempers (softens)
	– Removes diffusible hydrogen
	Refractory dry outs
	– Improves refractory strength
	– Eliminates refractory separation
	– Removes mechanical water
	– Minimizes explosive spalling
	– Avoids thermal stress
