Heat Treatment
Mobile and in-shop thermal solutions for code-regulated weldments, including post weld heat treatment (PWHT), annealing, and refractory dry outs.
Heat
Treatment
That Delivers
Under Pressure
Industrial Thermal Services delivers engineered heat treatment for high-spec components wherever the job demands it and QA traceability, field reliability, and ASME code compliance are non-negotiable.
Safety Record
Zero Recordables. TRIR: 0.00 for Over 16 Years and Counting. We enforce site-specific procedures and QA tracking on every job to meet OSHA, ASME, and client safety standards without compromise.
Furnaces
ITS operates fixed furnaces at five Gulf Coast locations, supporting components up to 16′ wide, 17′ high, and 72′ long. Each system is configured with automated controls, calibrated thermocouples, and soak validation to handle pressure-bound components and structural weldments that exceed field treatment limits.

3D Simulation
ITS leverages 3D modeling to pre-plan heat rig configurations, confirm clearances, and align with plant geometry before mobilization to reduce setup time and minimize field revisions.
Simulations integrate with plant CAD files, allowing anticipation of heating zones, boundary constraints, and element placements ahead of time.
