31、red.This test will not berequired for pipe under NPS 8 DN 200.9.Flattening Test9.1 A specimen at least 4 in.100 mm in length shall beflattened cold between parallel plates in three steps with theweld located either 0 or 90 from the line of direction of forceas required in 9.2.During the first step,w
32、hich is a test forductility of the weld,no cracks or breaks on the inside oroutside surfaces shall occur before the distance between theplates is less than two thirds of the original outside diameter ofthe pipe.As a second step,the flattening shall be continued.During the second step,which is a test
33、 for ductility exclusiveof the weld,no cracks or breaks on the inside or outsidesurfaces shall occur before the distance between the plates isless than one third of the original outside diameter of the pipebut is not less than five times the wall thickness of the pipe.During the third step,which is
34、a test for soundness,theflattening shall be continued until the specimen breaks or theopposite walls of the pipe meet.Evidence of laminated orunsound material or of incomplete weld that is revealed duringthe entire flattening test shall be cause for rejection.9.2 For pipe produced in single lengths,
35、the flattening testspecified in 9.1 shall be made on both crop ends cut from eachlength of pipe.The tests from each end shall be madealternately with the weld at 0 and at 90 from the line ofdirection of force.For pipe produced in multiple lengths,theflattening test shall be made on crop ends represe
36、nting the frontand back of each coil with the weld at 90 from the line ofdirection of force,and on two intermediate rings representingeach coil with the weld 0 from the line of direction of force.9.3 Surface imperfections in the test specimen before flat-tening,but revealed during the first step of
37、the flattening test,shall be judged in accordance with the finish requirements inSection 13.9.4 Superficial cracks as a result of surface imperfectionsshall not be cause for rejection.10.Hydrostatic Test10.1 Except as provided for in 10.3,each length of pipeshall be hydrostatically tested at the mil
38、l,without leakagethrough the wall,to a pressure calculated from the followingequation:P 5 2St/Dwhere:P=minimum hydrostatic test pressure,psi,kPa.The testpressure need not exceed 2500 psi 1700 kPa,S=allowable fiber stress 18 000 psi 124 000 kPa forGrade A and 21 000 psi 144 000 kPa for Grade B.This d
39、oes not prohibit testing at higher pressure at themanufacturers option,t=specified wall thickness,in.mm,andD=specified outside diameter,in.mm.Plain end pipe may be tested at the discretion of themanufacturer in single lengths or in multiple lengths.10.2 The hydrostatic pressure shall be maintained f
40、or notless than 5 s.10.3 When specified in the order,pipe may be furnishedwithout hydrostatic testing,and each length so furnished shallinclude with the mandatory marking the letters“NH.”NOTE3This provision is not intended to apply to light wall(Schedule10)pipe listed in Table X1.1.10.4 When certifi
41、cation is required by the purchaser and thehydrostatic test has been omitted,the certification shall clearlystate“Not Hydrostatically Tested.”The specification numberand material grade,as shown on the certification,shall befollowed by the letters“NH.”11.Nondestructive Examination Requirements11.1 As
42、 an alternate to the hydrostatic test,and whenaccepted by the purchaser,each pipe shall be tested with anondestructive electric test in accordance with Practice E 213,Practice E 273,or Practice E 309.It is the intent of this test toreject pipe containing defects.11.2 Recognized methods for meeting t
43、his test are electro-magnetic(eddy current)or ultrasonic.11.3 The following information is for the benefit of the userof this specification:11.3.1 The ultrasonic examination referred to in this speci-fication is intended to detect longitudinal imperfections havinga reflective area similar to or larg
44、er than the reference notch.The examination may not detect circumferentially orientedimperfections of short,deep imperfections.11.3.2 The eddy-current examination referenced in thisspecification has the capability of detecting significant imper-fections,especially of the short,abrupt type.11.3.3 The
45、 hydrostatic test referred to in Section 10 is a testmethod provided for in many product specifications.This testhas the capability of finding imperfections of a size permittingthe test fluid to leak through the tube wall and may be eithervisually seen or detected by a loss of pressure.This test may
46、not detect very tight,through-the-wall imperfections or imper-fections that extend an appreciable distance into the wallwithout complete penetration.TABLE 2 Chemical RequirementsComposition,max,%ElementGrade AGrade BCarbon0.250.30Manganese0.951.20Phosphorus0.0350.035Sulfur0.0350.035A 135/A 135M 0631
47、1.3.4 A purchaser interested in ascertaining the nature(type,size,location,and orientation)of imperfections that canbe detected in the specific application of these examinationsshould discuss this with the manufacturer of the tubularproduct.11.4 In order to accommodate the various types of nonde-str
48、uctive electric testing equipment and techniques in use,thecalibration pipe shall contain,at the option of the producer,anyone or more of the following discontinuities to establish aminimum sensitivity level for rejection:11.4.1 Drilled HoleA hole not larger than 0.031-in.0.8-mm diameter shall be dr
49、illed radially and completelythrough pipe wall,preferably in the weld area,care being takento avoid distortion of the pipe while drilling.11.4.2 Transverse Tangential NotchA notch shall be filedor milled tangential to the surface and transverse to thelongitudinal axis of the pipe preferably in the w
50、eld area.Saidnotch shall have a depth not exceeding 12.5%of the nominalwall thickness of the pipe or 0.004 in.,0.10 mm,whicheveris greater.11.4.3 Longitudinal NotchA notch 0.031 in.0.8 mm orless in width shall be machined in a radial plane parallel to thepipe axis on the outside surface of the pipe
