4 Order Content
Contract or order form that purchase steel pipes in accordance with this Standard shall
include the following content:
a) Serial No. of this Standard;

c) Steel designation;
d) Dimensions and specifications (external diameter  wall thickness, expressed
in millimeter);
e) Quantity ordered (total weight or total length);
f) Delivery status;
g) Special requirements.
5 Dimensions, Appearance and Weight
5.1 External Diameter and Wall Thickness
with the stipulations in Table 4. However, in arbitration, longitudinal tensile test shall be
subject to.
6.4.2 Tensile test of welded joints
Steel pipes whose external diameter is not less than 168 mm shall receive horizontal
tensile test on welded joints. Samples shall be horizontally taken along the steel pipes,
or, be cut out from test pieces of welding. The test pieces of welding shall be under the
same designation, the same furnace No., the same welding process and the same
thermal treatment system as the steel pipes. Welding seam shall be in the center of
the sample and vertical to the axes of the sample. The tensile strength of welded joints
shall comply with the stipulations of tensile strength of base metals in Table 4.
6.5 Process Performance
6.5.1 Flattening
Steel pipes whose external diameter is not more than 168 mm shall receive flattening
test. During the test, welding seam shall be located in a location that is 90 of the force-
bearing direction. In terms of steel pipes which receive thermal treatment, samples
shall be flattened to 1/3 of the external diameter of steel pipes. In terms of steel pipes
which do not receive thermal treatment, samples shall be flattened to 2/3 of the
external diameter of steel pipes. After flattening, samples shall not manifest any cracks
or breakages.
6.5.2 Horizontal bending test of welding seam
Steel pipes whose external diameter is more than 168 mm shall receive horizontal
bending test of welding seam. Samples for the bending test shall be cut out from steel
pipes or test pieces of welding. The test pieces of welding shall be under the same
designation, the same furnace No., the same welding process and the same thermal
treatment system as the steel pipes. A group of bending tests shall include: one positive
bending test and one negative bending test (namely, the external welding seam and
the internal welding seam of steel pipes are respectively located on the maximum
curved surface). In terms of steel pipes whose wall thickness is more than 10 mm, two
side bending samples may be used to replace positive bending and negative bending
samples. In bending test, the diameter of bent indenter shall be 4 times of the thickness
of the samples; bending angle shall be 180. After bending, the welding seam area of
the samples shall not manifest any cracks or breakages.
6.6 Intergranular Corrosion
Except from designations ,
the remaining Austenitic stainless steel pipes shall receive intergranular corrosion test
in accordance with the stipulations of Method E in GB/T 4334-2008. After the test,
samples shall not manifest tendency of intergranular corrosion. In accordance with the
demand-side’s demands, through the negotiation between the demand-side and the
pipes under the designations
may receive grain size test; the average grain size shall be Level-7 or coarser.

pipes may receive full-length or partial radiographic inspection of welding seam. When
it is stipulated in the contract that partial radiographic inspection shall be conducted,
the proportion and the location (it shall at least include two pipe ends) of the inspection
shall be indicated.
6.9.2 Radiographic inspection may be conducted and determined through the method
of photographic film or real-time imaging as stipulated in GB/T 3323, NB/T 47013.2 or
NB/T 47013.11. The grade of radiographic testing technology shall comply with the
stipulations of Grade-AB in NB/T 47013.2 or NB/T 47013.11, or the stipulations of
Grade-A in GB/T 3323. The result evaluation and quality grade of 100% radiographic
inspection and partial radiographic inspection shall comply with the stipulations in GB/T
3323 or Grade-II in NB/T 47013.2.
6.9.3 Through the negotiation between the demand-side and the supply-side, and
statement in the contract, other inspection technology grades and/or quality grades
may also be stipulated.
6.9.4 Radiographic inspection may be conducted before thermal treatment.
6.10 Surface Quality
6.10.1 The internal and external surface of steel pipes shall be smooth; there shall be
no defects of stratification, crack, unthorough welding, unthorough fusion, folding,
double skin, twisting, over-pickling and other defects that would affect the usage. The
above-mentioned defects shall be completely eliminated. The actual wall thickness of
the elimination area shall be not less than the allowable minimum value of nominal wall
thickness. The surface of steel pipes may allow the existence of partial scratches and
indentations, but the depth shall not exceed 50% of the lower deviation of wall
thickness; those that exceed this value may allowed to be polished, and the actual wall
thickness of the polishing area shall be not less than the allowable minimum value of
nominal wall thickness.
6.10.2 In terms of steel pipes which are manufactured through the method of double-
sided automatic welding, the internal and external welding seam shall be flush with the
base metals, or, have a uniform surplus height of less than 3 mm.

welding seam shall comply with the following stipulations:
The inspection and acceptance inspection of steel pipes shall be conducted by the
supply-side’s quality and technology supervision department.
8.2 Batch Rules
The chemical composition of steel pipes may be inspected and accepted in
accordance with furnace. The remaining inspection items of steel pipes shall be
inspected and accepted in accordance with batch. Each batch shall be constituted of
steel pipes of the same designation, the same furnace No., the same dimensions, the
same welding process and the same thermal treatment system. The quantity of each
batch of steel pipes shall not exceed the following stipulations:
a) External diameter is not more than 57 mm: 400 PCS;
b) External diameter is more than 57 mm, but not more than 219 mm: 200 PCS;
