Permissible Deviations in Weight and Dimensions
1. Outside Diameter - ±0.5% of the specified outside diameter based on circumference measurement.
2. Roundness - The difference between the maximum outside diameter and the minimum outside diameter.
3. Alignment - Using a 10-foot (3-meter) ruler with both ends in contact with the pipe, the tolerance is 1/8 inch (3 mm).
4. Thickness - The minimum wall thickness of the pipe at any point shall not be less than 0.01 inch (0.3 mm) of the specified nominal thickness.
5. The length of the unprocessed end shall be within -0, +1/2 inch (-0, +13 mm) of the specified length. The length of the processed end shall be determined by agreement between the manufacturer and the purchaser.
ASTM A671 Mechanical Properties Tests for Straight Seam Submerged Arc Welded Carbon Steel Pipe:
Tensile Test - The transverse tensile properties of the welded joint shall meet the minimum requirements of the specified plate ultimate tensile strength.
Transversely Guided Weld Bend Test—The bend test is acceptable if there are no cracks or other defects exceeding 1/8 inch (3 mm) in any direction in the weld metal or between the weld and the parent metal after bending.
Radiographic Examination—The entire length of Grade X1 and X2 welds shall be radiographically examined in accordance with the requirements of Section UW-51 of Chapter 7 of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code.
