Localized PWHT of Pipe Spools

When you need quick turnaround on your piping project, Gulf Coast Combustion provides solutions on projects large or small. From start to finish, we provide everything you need for code specific localized heat treatment.

What heat treating the welds does to your product:

As a required code specification on pressure piping, heat treating the welds makes them softer, increasing the integrity of the steel so it’s not brittle. When pieces are welded at a high temperature the chemical make up of the metal changes at such a rapid pace the weld loses some of its strength. High pressure product flowing through the piping means the welds must be at optimal strength to withstand it.

On-site vs. delivered product:

GCC does the majority of our PWHT on-site at our customers location, saving them time and hassle of transportation. Larger projects can benefit from on-site heat treatment by staying at their location and ensuring organization stays in tact.

We are happy to heat treat your products at our shop in Spring, TX. We can pick up the product from you or it can be sent directly to us.
