Standard Specification for Seamless Carbon Steel Pipe for Atmospheric and Lower Temperatures
The following bibliographic material is provided to assist you with your purchasing decision:
This specification covers seamless carbon steel pipe intended primarily service at atmospheric and lower temperatures. The steel shall be killed steel made by one or more of the following processes: open-hearth, electric-furnace, or basic-oxygen. The steel shall be made to fine grain practice and may be cast in ingots or may be strand cast. All hot-finished and cold-drawn pipe shall be heat treated and be cooled in air or in the cooling chamber of a controlled atmosphere furnace. The steel shall be subjected to flattening, hydrostatic, bend, and tensile tests. A retest shall be conducted if a specimen breaks in an inside or outside surface flaw.
Scope
1.1 This specification covers seamless carbon steel pipe intended primarily for service at atmospheric and lower temperatures, NPS 1/8 to 26 inclusive, with nominal (average) wall thickness as given in ANSI B36.10. Pipe having other dimensions may be furnished, provided such pipe complies with all other requirements of this specification. Pipe ordered to this specification shall be suitable both for welding, and for bending, flanging, and similar forming operations.
1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as the standard.
Note 1—The dimensionless designator NPS (nominal pipe size) has been substituted in this standard for such traditional terms as "nominal diameter," "size," and "nominal size".
1.3 The following hazard caveat applies to the test methods portion, Section 16, only. This standard does not purport to address all of the safety problems, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
