23、as prescribed in Table 1.8. Expansion Test8.1 Specimens in the O61 (annealed) temper shall withstandan expansion of 25 % of the outside diameter when expandedin accordance with Test Method B 153. The expanded pipeshall show no cracking or rupture visible to the unaided eye.Pipe ordered in the drawn

24、(H) condition is not subject to thistest.NOTE 1The term “unaided eye,” as used herein, permits the use ofcorrective spectacles necessary to obtain normal vision.8.2 As an alternative to the expansion test for pipe over 4 in.(102 mm) in diameter in the O61 (annealed) condition, asection 4 in. in leng

25、th shall be cut from the end of one of thelengths for a flattening test. This 4-in. specimen shall beflattened so that a gage set at three times the wall thickness willpass over the pipe freely throughout the flattened part. The pipeso tested shall develop no cracks or flaws visible to the unaidedey

26、e (see Note 1) as a result of this test. In making the flatteningtest the elements shall be slowly flattened by one stroke of thepress.9. Mercurous Nitrate Test9.1 WarningMercury is a definite health hazard andtherefore equipment for the detection and removal of mercuryvapor produced in volatilizati

Testing shall follow the procedures of

31、Practice E 243 except for determination of “end effect.” Thematerial shall be passed through an eddy-current testing unitadjusted to provide information on the suitability of thematerial for the intended application.10.2.1 Notch-depth standards rounded to the nearest 0.001in. (0.025 mm) shall be 10

32、% of the nominal wall thickness.The notch depth tolerances shall be 60.0005 in. (0.013 mm).Alternatively, when a manufacturer uses speed insensitiveequipment that allows the selection of a maximum imbalancesignal, a maximum imbalance signal of 0.3 % is permitted tobe used.10.2.2 Material that does n

Material with discontinuities indi-cated by the testing unit is permitted to be reexamined orretested, at the option of the manufacturer, to determinewhether the discontinuity is cause for rejection.

35、 Signals that arefound to have been caused by minor mechanical damage, soilor moisture shall not be cause for rejection of the materialprovided the dimensions of the material are still withinprescribed limits and the material is suitable for its intendedapplication.10.3 Hydrostatic TestWhen specifie

36、d, the material shallstand, without showing evidence of leakage, an internal hydro-static pressure sufficient to subject the material to a fiber stressof 6000 psi (41 MPa), determined by the following equationfor thin hollow cylinders under tension. The material need notbe tested at a hydrostatic pr

37、essure of over 1000 psi (6.9 MPa)unless so specified.P 5 2St/D 2 0.8t!where:P = hydrostatic pressure, psi (or MPa),t = wall thickness of the material, in.

39、0 psi (415 kPa)minimum for 5 s without showing evidence of leakage. The testmethod used shall permit easy visual detection of any leakage,such as by having the material under water or by the pressure-differential method. Any evidence of leakage shall be cause forrejection.11. Dimensions and Permissi
