The purchaser may specify a different frequency of test or analysis than is providedin the supplementary requirement. Subject to agreement between the purchaser and manufacturer,retest and retreatment provisions of th
36、ese supplementary requirements may also be modified.S1. Product AnalysisS1.1 Product analysis shall be made on each length of pipe.Individual lengths failing to conform to the chemical compo-sition requirements shall be rejected.S2. Additional Tension TestsS2.1 An additional tension test shall be ma
37、de on a specimenfrom one or each end of each pipe. If this supplementaryrequirement is specified, the number of tests per pipe requiredshall be specified. If a specimen from any length fails to meetthe required tensile properties (tensile, yield, and elongation),that length shall be rejected subject
38、 to retreatment in accor-dance with SpecificationA 530/A 530M and satisfactory retest.S3. Additional Flattening TestsS3.1 The flattening test of Specification A 530/A 530Mshall be made on a specimen from one end or both ends of eachpipe. Crop ends may be used. If this supplementary require-ment is s
39、pecified, the number of tests per pipe shall also bespecified. If a specimen from any length fails because of lackof ductility prior to satisfactory completion of the first step ofthe flattening test requirement that pipe shall be rejectedsubject to retreatment in accordance with Specification A 530
40、/A 530M and satisfactory retest. If a specimen from any lengthof pipe fails because of a lack of soundness that length shall berejected, unless subsequent retesting indicates that the remain-ing length is sound.S4. Metal Structure and Etching TestsS4.1 The steel shall be homogeneous as shown by etch
41、ingtests conducted in accordance with the appropriate portions ofMethod E 381. Etching tests shall be made on a cross sectionfrom one end or both ends of each pipe and shall show soundand reasonably uniform material free from injurious lamina-tions, cracks, and similar objectionable defects. If this
42、 supple-mentary requirement is specified, the number of tests per piperequired shall also be specified. If a specimen from any lengthshows objectionable defects, the length shall be rejected,subject to removal of the defective end and subsequent retestsindicating the remainder of the length to be so

Such photomicro-graphs are for information only, to show the actual metalstructure of the pipe as furnished.S6. Photographs for Individual PiecesS6.1 I
45、n addition to the photomicrographs required in accor-dance with Supplementary Requirement S5, the purchaser mayspecify that photomicrographs shall be furnished from one orboth ends of each pipe. All photomicrographs required shall beproperly identified as to heat number, size, and wall thicknessof p
46、ipe from which the section was taken. Photomicrographsshall be further identified to permit association of each photo-micrograph with the individual length of pipe it represents.S7. Radiographic InspectionS7.1 The pipe shall be examined for internal defects bymeans of X rays or gamma rays. The inspe
47、ction procedure shallbe in accordance with Practice E94or Method E 142 and thetypes and severity levels of discontinuities considered shall bejudged by Reference Radiographs E 446, or Reference Radio-graphs E 186.
