Manufacture5.1 The longitudinal edges of the steel shall be shaped togive the most satisfactory results by the particular weld
17、ingprocess employed. The steel shall then be properly formed andmay be tacked preparatory to welding. The weld shall be madeby automatic means (except tack welds) and shall be ofreasonably uniform width and height for the entire length of thepipe. By agreement between the purchaser and the manufac-t
18、urer, manual welding by qualified procedure and welders maybe used as an equal alternate under this specification.5.2 All longitudinal seams, spiral seams, and shop girthseams shall be butt-welded.6. Number of Production Weld Tests6.1 One weld test specimen specified in Section 8 shall bemade from e
19、ach 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 may bediscarded and another specimen substituted.6.3 Each length of pipe shall be subjected to the hydrostatic
20、test specified in Section 11, unless otherwise specified in 11.3.7. Retests7.1 If any specimen tested in accordance with Section 10fails to meet the requirements, retests of two additionalspecimens from the same lot of pipe shall be made, each ofwhich shall meet the requirements specified. If any of
21、 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 that pipe shall be rejected.8. Test Specimens of Production Welds8.1 The weld-test specimens for the reduced-s
22、ection 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 specifications used in themanufacture of the pipe. The alternative weld-test specimensshall be welded with the same
23、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 specimen. Thespecimens shall be straightened cold, and shall be tested atroom temperature.8.2 Reduced-section
24、 tension-test specimens shall be pre-pared in accordance with Fig. 21 of Test Methods andDefinitions A 370.9.

25、 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 foreach wall thickness of pipe manufactured. Thicknesses38 to34in. (10 mm to 19.0 mm), inclusive, shall be q
26、ualified in38-in.(10-mm) thickness.9.2 Two reduced-section tension specimens (transverseweld) made in accordance with Fig. 21 of Test Methods andDefinitions A 370, with the weld reinforcement removed, shallshow a tensile strength not less than 100 % of the minimumspecified tensile strength of the ba
27、se material used.9.3 Two face-bend test specimens shall be prepared inaccordance with Fig. 2(a) of Test Methods and DefinitionsA 370 and shall withstand being bent 180 in a jig substantiallyin accordance with Fig. 30 of Test Methods and DefinitionsA 370. The bend test shall be acceptable if no crack
28、s 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-mens during testing and that are less than14 in. (6.3 mm) inany direction, shall not be considered.10. Tensi
29、le 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 strength not lessthan 95 % of the specified minimum strength of the steel. Atthe manufacturers option, the
30、 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. Hydrostatic Test (Note 5)11.1 Each length of pipe shall be tested by the manufacturerto a hydrostatic pressure that
31、 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:P = minimum hydrostatic test pressure, psi (Note 6) (not toexceed 2800 psi (19 MPa),S = 0.60 times the mi
32、nimum 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 considered a6Available from American Welding Society, 550 N.W. LeJeune Rd., Miami, FL33135.A 134 96 (2005)2hyd
33、rostatic test or a substitute for it.NOTE 6When the diameter and wall thickness of pipe are such thatthe capacity limits of testing equipment are exceeded by these require-ments, the test pressures may be reduced by agreement between thepurchaser and the manufacturer.11.2 Test pressure shall be held
34、 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, pipe may be tested to one and one halftimes the specified working pressure, except that the maximum test
35、pressure 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 minimum yield point ofthe steel or 2800-psi (19-MPa) test pressure.11.3 When specified in the order, pipe
36、 may be furnishedwithout hydrostatic testing and each length so furnished shallinclude the mandatory marking of the letters “NH.” Addition-ally, the certification, when required, shall state “Not Hydro-statically Tested” and the specification number and materialgrade, as shown on the certification,
37、shall be followed by theletters “NH.”12. Permissible Variations in Weights and Dimensions12.1 Thickness and WeightThe wall thickness and weightfor welded pipe under this specification shall be governed bythe requirements of the specifications to which the steel wasordered.12.2 CircumferenceThe outsi
38、de circumference of the pipeshall not vary more than 60.5 % from the nominal outsidecircumference based upon the diameter specified, except thatthe circumference at ends shall be sized, if necessary, to meetthe requirements of Section 14.12.3 StraightnessFinished pipe shall be commerciallystraight.
39、When specific straightness requirements are desired,the order should so state, and the tolerances shall be a matter ofagreement between the purchaser and the manufacturer.12.4 OvalityOut-of-roundnessThe difference betweenmajor and minor outside diameter shall not exceed 1 %. Closertolerances may be
40、established by agreement between themanufacturer and the purchaser. Where the D/T (outsidediameter/wall thickness) is over 120, internal bracing should beutilized to achieve sizing of ends and ovality shall be byagreement between the manufacturer and purchaser.13.

41、upplied in accordance with thefollowing regular practice:13.1.1 The lengths shall be as specified on the order with atolerance of 612 in. (13 mm), except that the shorter lengthsfrom which test coupons have been cut may also be shipped.13.1.2 When random lengths are specified, pipe shall befurnished
42、 in lengths having a minimum average of 29 ft (9 m)with a minimum length of 20 ft (6 m), but not more than 5 %may be under 25 ft (8 m).13.2 Pipe lengths containing circumferentially welded joints(Note 8) shall be permitted by agreement between the manu-facturer and the purchaser. Tests of these weld
43、ed joints shall bemade in accordance with the procedure tests specified inSection 9 and the production weld tests specified in Section 10.The number of production weld tests shall be one per each lotof 100 joints or fraction thereof, but not less than one for eachwelder or welding operator.NOTE 8Joi
44、nts are defined for the purpose of this specification as acircumferential welded seam lying in one plane, used to join lengths ofstraight pipe.14.
