Welded steel tubes for pressure purposes – Technical delivery conditions -- Part 5: submerged arc welded non-alloy and alloy steel tubes with specified elevated temperature properties
The standard specifies the technical delivery conditions for circular submerged arc welded steel tubes with specified elevated temperature properties manufactured of non-alloy and alloy steels. It specifies the requirements for taking samples and the methods of testing.
Welded pipes of the following types:
The scope of the standard includes :
Circular submerged arc welded steel tubes with specified elevated temperature properties manufactured of non-alloy and alloy steels./ from 406,4 to 2540 mm /
Steel grades: P235GH ,P265GH, 16Mo3
Two testing categories are also distinguished in this case:
which differ with respect to the test type and, most of all, with the fact that ultrasound testing is introduced in the case of the TC2 group.
Pipe manufacturing stages and delivery conditions:
