35、lements. If secondary melting processes areemployed, the heat analysis shall be obtained from oneremelted ingot or the product of one remelted ingot of eachprimary melt. The chemical composition thus determined, orthat determined from a product analysis made by the tubularproduct manufacturer shall

36、conform to the requirements speci-fied.6.2.1 For steels ordered under product specifications refer-encing this specification of general requirements, the steel shallnot contain an unspecified element, other than nitrogen forstainless steels, for the ordered grade to the extent that the steelconforms

37、 to the requirements of another grade for which thatelement is a specified element having a required minimumcontent. For this requirement, a grade is defined as an alloydescribed individually and identified by its own UNS designa-tion in a table of chemical requirements within any specifica-tion lis

Permissible Variation in Mass for Seamless Pipe9.1 Except as allowed by 9.2, the mass of any length ofseamless pipe in sizes NPS 12 and smaller shall not vary morethan 10 % over or more than 3.5 % under that specified. Forpipe in

43、sizes larger than NPS 12, the mass of any length of pipeshall not vary more than 10 % over or more than 5 % under thatspecified. Unless otherwise specified, the mass of lengths ofpipe in sizes NPS 4 and smaller shall be determined separatelyor in convenient lots; the mass of lengths of pipe in sizes
