By agreement between the purchaser and themanufacturer, manual welding by qualified procedure andwelders may be used as an equal alternate under this specifi-cation.5.2 All longitudinal seams, spiral seams, and shop girthseams shall be butt-w
19、elded.6. Number of Production Weld Tests6.1 One weld test specimen specified in Section 8 shall bemade from each lot of 3000 ft (900 m) of pipe or fractionthereof of each size and wall thickness.6.2 If any test specimen shows defective machining ordevelops flaws not associated with the welding, it m

Retests7.1 If any specimen tested in accordance with Section 10fails to meet the requirements, retests of two additionalspe
21、cimens from the same lot of pipe shall be made, each ofwhich shall meet the requirements specified. If any of theretests fail to conform to the requirements, test specimens maybe taken from each untested pipe length at the manufacturersoption. Each specimen shall meet the requirements specified,or t

Test Specimens of Production Welds8.1 The weld-test specimens for the reduced-section tensiontest shall be taken perpendicularly across the weld and from theend of the pipe or, alternatively, from flat test pieces of materialconforming to the requirements in the specifi
23、cations used in themanufacture of the pipe. The alternative weld-test specimensshall be welded with the same procedure and by the sameoperator and equipment, and in sequence with the welding ofthe longitudinal joints in the pipe. The test pieces shall have theweld approximately in the middle of the
24、specimen. Thespecimens shall be straightened cold, and shall be tested atroom temperature.8.2 Reduced-section tension-test specimens shall be pre-pared in accordance with Fig. 21 of Test Methods andDefinitions A370.9.

25、accordancewith the American Welding Society Standard QualificationProcedure6or ASME Section IX of the Boiler and PressureVessel Code as agreed to between the manufacturer and thepurchaser using the tests and test values specified in 9.2 and9.3. Thicknesses less than38 in. (10 mm) shall be qualified
26、foreach wall thickness of pipe manufactured. Thicknesses38 to34in. (10 mm to 19.0 mm), inclusive, shall be qualified in38-in.(10-mm) thickness.9.2 Two reduced-section tension specimens (transverseweld) made in accordance with Fig. 21 of Test Methods andDefinitions A370, with the weld reinforcement r
27、emoved, shallshow a tensile strength not less than 100 % of the minimumspecified tensile strength of the base material used.9.3 Two face-bend test specimens shall be prepared inaccordance with Fig. 2(a) of Test Methods and DefinitionsA370 and shall withstand being bent 180 in a jig substantiallyin a
28、ccordance with Fig. 30 of Test Methods and DefinitionsA370. The bend test shall be acceptable if no cracks or otherdefects exceeding18 in. (3.2 mm) in any direction be present inthe weld metal or between the weld and the pipe metal afterbending. Cracks that originate along the edges of the speci-men
29、s during testing and that are less than14 in. (6.3 mm) inany direction, shall not be considered.10. Tensile Properties of Production Welds10.1 Reduced-section tension test specimens required inSection 8, taken perpendicularly across the weld with the weldreinforcement removed, shall show a tensile s
30、trength not lessthan 95 % of the specified minimum strength of the steel. Atthe manufacturers option, the test may be made withoutremoving the weld reinforcement, in which case the tensilestrength shall be not less than the specified minimum tensilestrength for the grade of steel used.11. Hydrostati
31、c Test (Note 5)11.1 Each length of pipe shall be tested by the manufacturerto a hydrostatic pressure that will produce in the pipe wall astress of 60 % of the specified minimum yield point of the steelused at room temperature. The pressure shall be determined bythe following equation:P 5 2St/Dwhere:
32、P = minimum hydrostatic test pressure, psi (Note 6) (not toexceed 2800 psi (19 MPa),S = 0.60 times the minimum specified yield point of thesteel used, psi (MPa),t = specified wall thickness, in. (mm), andD = specified outside diameter, in. (mm).NOTE 5A hydrostatic sizing operation is not to be consi
33、dered ahydrostatic test or a substitute for it.NOTE 6When the diameter and wall thickness of pipe are such that thecapacity limits of testing equipment are exceeded by these requirements,the test pressures may be reduced by agreement between the purchaser andthe manufacturer.6Available from American

LeJeune Rd., Miami, FL33135.A134 96 (2012)211.2 Test pressure shall be held for not less than 5 s, or fora longer time as agreed upon between the purchaser and themanufacturer.NOTE 7When agreed upon between the purchaser and the manufac-turer and so stated on the order, pi
35、pe may be tested to one and one halftimes the specified working pressure, except that the maximum testpressure shall not exceed 2800 psi (19 MPa) nor shall the maximum fiberstress exceed 85 % of specified minimum yield point of steel or to a fiberstress that does not exceed 85 % of the specified min
