If secondary melting, using electroslag remelting or vacuum-are remelting is subsequently employed, the heat shall be defined as all of the ingots remelted from a single primary heat. 42 Steel cast in ingots or strand cast is permissible. When steels of different grades are sequentially strand cast, identifi cation of the resultant transition material is required.

When ordered for close coiling (Note 2), the pipe shall stand being bent cold through 180° around a cylindrical mandrel, the diameter of which is eight times the 32Gh a 106 ‘outside diameter (as shown in ANSI B 36.10) of the pipe, without failure. 11.2 Subject to the approval of the purchaser, for pipe whose diameter exceeds 10 in. (254 mm), it shall be permis- sible for the bend test to be substituted for the flattening test described in Section 12. The bend test specimens shall be bent at room temperature through 180° with the inside diemeter of the bend being | in, (25.4 mm), without cracking on the outside portion of the bent portion. 11.3 For pipe whose diameter exceeds 25 in, (635 mm) and whose diameter to wall thickness ratio is 7.0 or less, the bend test described in 11.2 shall be conducted instead of the flattening test. [Nore $—Diameter to wall thickness rio = specified ouside diameter! nominal wall thickness. ‘Example: For 28 in. diameter $.000 in, tick pipe the diameter to wall thickness ratio = 28/5 = 56. 12, Flattening Tests 12,1 Except as allowed by 11.2, for pipe over NPS 2, a section of pipe not less than 244 in. (63.5 mm) in length shall be fattened cold between parallel plates until the opposite ‘walls of the pipe meet. Flattening tests shall be in accordance ‘with Specification A S30/A 530M, except that in the formula tused to calculate the “H” value, the following “e” constants shall be used: (0.08 for Grade A 0.07 for Grades B and C 12.2 When low D-to-t ratio tubulars are tested, because the strain imposed due to geometry is unseasonably high on the inside surface at the six and twelve o'clock locations, cracks at these locations shall not be cause for rejection if the D-to-r ratio is Jess than ten, [Nore 6—The H values have been calevlated for sizes from NPS 29 24, inclusive, and are shown in Table X1.1 ofthis specification. 13, Hydrostatic Test 13.1 Each Jength of pipe shall withstand without leakage through the pipe wall, a hydrostatic test, except as provided for in 13.2, 13.3, and 13.4. 13.2’ When specified by the purchaser, it shall be permis- sible for pipe to be tested by the nondestructive electric test described in Section 14 in lieu of the hydrostatic test 13.3 When specified in the order, pipe shall be furnished ‘without hydrostatic test and without the NDE in Section 14. In this case, each length so furnished shall include the mandatory ‘marking of the letters “NH.” 13.4 When the hydrostatic test and the NDE test are omitted and the lengths marked with the letters “NH,” the certification, when required, shall clearly state “Not Hydro Statically “Tested,” the specification number and material grade, as shown on the certification, shall be followed by the letters “NH.” 14, Nondestructive Electric Test 14.1 When allowed by 13.2, each pipe shall be tested with 4 nondestructive electric test in accordance with Practice E213, Practice E 309, or Practice E570. In such eases, the marking of each length of pipe so furnished shall include the letters “NDE.” It is the intent of this test to reject pipe with imperfections that produce test signals equal or greater than that of the calibration standard, 14.2 When the nondestructive electric testis performed, the Jengths shall be marked with the leters “NDE.” The certifica- tion, when required, shall state “Nondestructive Electric “Tested” and shall indicate which ofthe tests was applied. Also the letiers "NDE" shall be appended to the product specifica- tion number and material grade shown on the certification. 143 The following information is for the benefit of the user of this specification: 143.1 The reference standards defined in 144 through 14.6 are convenient standards for calibration of nondestructive testing equipment. The dimensions of such standards are not 10 be construed as the minimum sizes of imperfections detectable by such equipment. 14.32 The ultrasonic testing referred to in this specification is capable of detecting the presence and location of significant ongitudinally or circumferentially oriented imperfection: however, different techniques need to be employed for the detection of such differently oriented imperfections. Ultrasonic s not necessarily capable of detecting short, deep imperfections. 143.3 The eddy current examination referenced in this specification has the capability of detecting significant imper- fections, especially of the short abrupt type. 14.3.4 The flux leakage examination referred to in this specification is capable of detecting the presence and location of significant longitudinally or transversely oriented imperfec- tions: however, different techniques need to be employed for the detection of such differently oriented imperfections. 14.35 The hydrostatic test referred to in Section 13 has the capability of finding defects of a size permitting the test uid to leak through the tube wall and may be either visually seen for detected by a loss of pressure. Hydrostatic testing is not necessarily capable of detecting very tight, through-the-wall, imperfections or imperfections that extend an appreciable distance into the wall without complete penetration. 1436 A purchaser interested in ascertaining the nature (ype, size, location, and orientation) of discontinuities that can the detected in the specific applications ofthese examinations is directed to discuss this with the manufacturer of the tubular product 144 For ultrasonic testing, the calibration reference notches shall be, at the option of the producer, any one of the three ‘common notch shapes shown in Practice E 213, The depth of notch shall not exceed 12/4 % of the specified wall thickness of the pipe of 0.004 in, (0.102 mm), whichever is greater. 145 For eddy current testing, the calibration pipe shall contain, at the option of the producer, any one of the following. discontinuities 10 establish a minimum sensitivity Jevel for rejection: 145.1 Drilled Hole—The calibration pipe shall contain depending upon the pipe diameter three holes spaced 120° apart of four holes spaced 90° apart and sufficiently separated longitudinally to ensure separately distinguishable responses. ‘The holes shall be drilled radially and completely through the pipe wall, care being taken to avoid distortion ofthe pipe while dniling.

Notch depth shall not exceed 12% % of the specified wall thickness, or 0.004 in. (0.102 mm), whichever is greater. Notch length shall not exceed 1 in. (25.4 mm), and the width shall not exceed the depth.

To be accepted, the pipe must pass the same specif- cation test to which it was originally subjected, provided that the remaining wall thickness is not decreased below that permitted by this specification. The OD atthe point of grinding may be reduced by the amount s0 reduced, 14.7.2 Test signals produced by visual imperfections such as those listed below may be evaluated in accordance with the provisions of Section 18: 147.211 Dinges, 14.2.2 Straightener marks, 147.23 Cutting chips, 147.24 Scratches, 147.25 Steel die stamps, 14.7.26 Stop marks, or 14.7.7 Pipe reducer ripple. 148 The test methods described in this section are not necessarily capable of inspecting the end portion of pipes, a condition referred to as “end effec.” The length of such end effect shall be determined by the manufacturer and, when specified in the purchase order, reported to the purchaser, 15.
