Abstract
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.
This abstract is a brief summary of the referenced standard. It is informational only and not an official part of the standard; the full text of the standard itself must be referred to for its use and application. ASTM does not give any warranty express or implied or make any representation that the contents of this abstract are accurate, complete or up to date.
1. 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 standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered 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 concerns, 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.
