The analysis shallconform to the requirements specified in Section 5 for thegrade of pipe ordered.7. Product Analy
19、sis7.1 When specified in the purchase order, a product analysisreport shall be furnished by the manufacturer on two pipesfrom each lot of 400 lengths, or fraction thereof, of 412-in.outside diameter and 5916-in. outside diameter sizes and fromeach lot of 200 lengths, or fraction thereof, of each siz

Flattening Test Requirements9.1 Seamless PipeFor seamless pipe, a section not lessthan 212 in. (63.5 mm) in length shall
33、 be flattened cold betweenparallel plates in two steps. During the first step, which is a testfor ductility, no cracks or breaks on the inside or outside or endsurfaces, except as provided for in 9.5, shall occur until thedistance between the plates is less than the value of Hcalculated by the follo
34、wing equation:H 511e!te1tD(1)where:H = distance between flattening plates, in. (mm),e = deformation per unit length (constant for a givengrade of steel, 0.09 for Grade A and 0.07 for Grade B),t = specified wall thickness, in. (mm), andD = specified outside diameter, in. (mm).During the second step,
35、which is a test for soundness, theflattening shall be continued until the specimen breaks or theopposite walls of the pipe meet. Evidence of laminated orunsound material that is revealed during the entire flatteningtest shall be cause for rejection.9.2 Electric-Resistance-Welded PipeAspecimen at lea
36、st 4in. (101.6 mm) in length shall be flattened cold betweenparallel plates in three steps with the weld located either 0 or90 from the line of direction of force as required in 9.2.1during the first step, which is a test for ductility of the weld, nocracks or breaks on the inside or outside surface
37、s shall occuruntil the distance between the plates is less than two thirds ofthe original outside diameter of the pipe. As a second step, theflattening shall be continued. During the second step, which istest for ductility exclusive of the weld, no cracks or breaks onthe inside or outside surfaces,
38、except as provided for in 9.5,shall occur until the distance between the plates is less than onethird of the original outside diameter of the pipe but is not lessthan five times the wall thickness of the pipe. During the thirdstep, which is a test for soundness, the flattening shall becontinued unti
39、l the specimen breaks or the opposite walls of thepipe meet. Evidence of laminated or unsound material or ofincomplete weld that is revealed during the entire flattening testshall be cause for rejection.9.2.1 For pipe produced in single lengths, the flattening testspecified in 9.2 shall be made on b
40、oth crop ends cut from eachlength of pipe. The tests from each end shall be madealternately with the weld at 0 and at 90 from the line ofdirection of force. For pipe produced in multiple lengths, theflattening test shall be made on crop ends representing the frontand back of each coil with the weld
41、at 90 from the line ofdirection of force, and on two intermediate rings representingeach coil with the weld 0 from the line of direction of force.9.3 Surface imperfections in the test specimen beforeflattening, but revealed during the first step of the flatteningtest, shall be judged in accordance w
42、ith the finish requirementsin Section 15.9.4 Superficial ruptures as a result of surface imperfectionsshall not be cause for rejection.9.5 When low D-to-t ratio tubulars are tested, because thestrain imposed due to geometry is unreasonably high on theinside surface at the 6 and 12 oclock locations,
43、cracks at theselocations shall not be cause for rejection if the D-to-t ratio isless than ten.10. Coatings10.1 Unless otherwise specified, the pipe shall not be givena mill coating of paint, oil, or any other material either insideor outside.11. Dimensions and Weight11.1 Dimensions and weight of pip
