Note on heat treatment:

All heat treating of parts and QTCs shall be performed with production type equipment meeting the requirements specified by the
manufacturer.
If a separate QTC is used, The ER of the QTC shall be equal to or greater than the dimensions of the part it qualifies. The size is not
required to exceed a 5 inch (125mm} equivalent round, and shall be placed in the product load with the components being heat
treated.
The material temperature shall be ·measured by use of either a furnace thermocouple, a contact surface thermocouple or a heat sink
as specified in API Spec 6A. The number and location of both part and environmental thermocouples (with controlling and monitoring
designations) shall be clearly identified. Thermocouples attached to the parts shall be used as controlling thermocouples.
A minimum of two part thermocouples are required per heat treat batch.
The soak time shall begin once all controlling thermocouples are within +/- 14°C (+/- 25°F) of the qualified temperature set point.
Temperature ramp rates and temperature tolerances shall be defined for the heat treat cycle. Furnace loading shall be performed to
ensure that the presence of one part does not adversely affect the heat-treating response of any other part. The use of supporting or
separating equipment may be required to ensure uniform and adequate heating in the qualified heating zone of the furnace, or to
support the running of part thermocouples The hold time shall not commence until the contact surface thermocouple or a heat sink
reaches at least the minimum required temperature. The forgings shall be free from sharp corners as this may lead to quenched
cracks.
Quenching media’s temperature before quench (< 380C) & after (<480C) quench to be documented.
Heat treatment of production parts shall be performed with heat-treating equipment that has been calibrated and Surveyed. Records
of furnace calibration and surveys shall be maintained for a period of not less than two years.
When a furnace is repaired or rebuilt, a new temperature survey shall be carried out before the furnace is used for heat treatment.
The controlling and recording instruments used for the heat-treatment processes shall be accurate to ± 1 % of their full-scale range.
If oil or polymer used for quenching, the heat-treat facility shall have a procedure to control and maintain the quality of the quenching
media. The procedure shall identify controls of chemistry and purity.
Process conditions for the use of the quenching media shall be maintained by the heat treatment facility.

Note on quality requirements:

If the supplier outsource any activity (heat treatment, NDT tests….) the sub-suppliers has to be audited by the supplier and the
following documents are required by Weir:
• Site visit report
• Review and approval of the heat treatment procedure
• Verification of the calibration of the furnace
• Validation of the heat treatment process
• Review of the ISO 9001: 2005 certificate
• Review and approval of supplier NDT procedure
• Review of the NDT operators qualification
• Validation of the NDT process
• Validation and review of the approval and qualification of the impact and UTS testing devices
