SPECIFICATION FOR SPIRAL WELDED PIPES

( First Revision )

1 SCOPE

This standard covers the requirements of spiralseam welded steel pipe over 457 mm dia andupto 2 000 mm dia with wall thickness upto12.5 mm inclusive. The pipe is intended forgeneral use. The suitability of pipe for variouspurposes is dependent on its dimensions,properties and condition of service. The purposefor which the pipe is intended should be stated

in the enquiry and order.

2 REFERENCES

2.1 The following Indian Standards arenecessary adjuncts to this standard:

3 SUPPLY OF MATERIAL

General requirements relating to the supply ofspiral welded pipes shall conform to IS 1387.

4 MANUFACTURE

4.1 Pipe shall be made from steel produced bythe open hearth or electric or one of the basic

oxygen processes. Other processes may be usedby agreement with the purchaser.

4.2 The pipes shall be made by rolling a strip,sheet or plate so that a helical seam is formedaround the circumference of the pipe. Thehelical seam shall be welded by one of thefollowing processes:

a) Electric fusion butt welding internally andautomatic arc welding externally.

b) Electric resistance welding.

c) Automatic submerged-arc welding usingat least two weld passes, one of which

shall be on the inside of the pipe. All end

welding of spiral seams of submerged-arcwelding pipe, if not done by automaticsubmerged-arc welding, shall be done by aprocedure and welder qualified inaccordance with Annex A.

4.3 The coil or sheet used for manufacture ofthe pipe shall be trimmed to the proper widthand given special edge treatment required bythe welding process. The material then shall be

rolled so that a helical seam is formed aroundthe circumference of the pipe. The electric arcwelding operation performed to fuse or seal theedges or surface of helical seam shall producegenerally uniform weld.

5 CHEMICAL COMPOSITION

5.1 Ladle Analysis

The ladle analysis of the steel when analysed inaccordance with the relevant parts of IS 228shall be as given below:

5.2 Product Analysis

Variation in case of product analysis from thelimits specified in 5.1 shall be as follows:

6 PHYSICAL TESTS

6.1 Tensile Test

6.1.1 One tensile test, either longitudinal ortransverse as required, shall be made on alength of pipe from each lot of 200 lengths orless.

The tensile strength, the yield stress and thepercentage elongation shall be determined inaccordance with the methods specified in

IS 1608.

6.3.1.2 Retests

If the guided-bend test specimens fail to

conform to the specified requirements, themanufacturer may elect to repeat the tests onspecimens cut from two additional lengths ofpipe from the same lot. If such specimens

conform to the specified requirements, all thelengths in the lot shall be accepted except, thelength initially selected for test. If any of theretest specimens fail to pass the specifiedrequirements, the manufacturer may elect to

test specimens cut from the individual lengthsremaining in the lot. Specimens for retestsshall be taken in the same manner as specifiedin 6.1.3.

ANNEX A

( Clause 4.2 )

REPAIR-WELDING PROCEDURE AND WELDER PERFORMANCE TESTS

A-1 GENERAL

A-1.1All manual and semi-automaticsubmerged-arc and gas-shielded-arc repairwelds, and manual and semi-automaticmetallic-arc repair welds using coatedelectrodes shall be made according to a testedprocedure and by a repair-welder tested in aflat position as specified inA-2 andA-3. Whenthe base metal temperature of the material tobe repair welded is below 10C, submerged-arc,gas-shielded-arc, or manual metallic-arcmethods with low hydrogen electrodes shall beused for the repair-welding test. Themanufacturer shall maintain a record of theprocedure and performance test results. Testwelds may be made either on plate stock or pipestock at the option of the manufacturer.

A-2 REPAIR-WELDING PROCEDURETESTS

A-2.1 Repair-welding procedure tests arerequired on two specimens from each test ofevery grade and on material which is on thehigh side of the chemical specification andwhich is at least as thick as the pipe on whichwelds are to be made. The repair-welding

procedure test shall be made at a temperatureat or below the lowest temperature at whichrepair welds are made.

A-2.2 Transverse Tensile Test

The transverse tensile test specimen ( seeFig. 3 ) shall be approximately 38 mm wide andshall have the transverse metallic-arc buttweld perpendicular to the longitudinal axis atthe centre of the test specimen. The weldreinforcement shall be removed from bothfaces. The ultimate tensile strength shall be atleast equal to the minimum specified for the

grade.

A-2.3 Longitudinal Tensile ElongationTest

The longitudinal tensile-elongation testspecimen shall conform to Fig. 4. The weldshall be made in a groove as shown. Theelongation after complete rupture of the testspecimen in tension shall be at least equal tothe minimum elongation specified for thegrade.

A-2.4 Transverse Guided Bend Test

The transverse guided-bend test specimen shallconform to Fig. 5. The weld shall be made in agroove as shown. The specimen shall be placedon the die with the weld at mid-span, and shallbe bent approximately 180 in a jig inaccordance with Fig. 2 with the exposed surfaceof the weld in tension. The bend test shall beconsidered acceptable if:

a) No crack or other defect exceeding 3 mmin any direction is present in the weldmetal or between the weld and the pipemetal after bending. Cracks whichoriginate along the edges of the specimenduring testing and which are less than6.5 mm measured in any direction shallnot be considered.

b) The specimen cracks or fractures duringbending and the exposed surface showscomplete penetration and fusionthroughout the entire thickness of theweld specimen; not more than 1 gas pocketper square cm with the greatestdimension not exceeding 1.6 mm and noslag inclusions greater than 0.8 mm deepor 3 mm wide and separated by at least13 mm of sound metal. (If necessary the

specimen shall be broken apart to permitexamination of the fracture.)

A-2.5 Nick-Break Test

The nick-break specimen shall conform toFig. 6. The weld shall be made in a groove asshown. The specimen shall be hacksaw-notchedfrom both edges at the centre of the weld andshall be broken by pulling or hammer blows atthe centre or one end. The exposed surface ofthe specimen shall be considered acceptable if itshows not more than:

a) One gas pocket for nominal wall

thicknesses of 6.35 mm and less.b) Two gas pockets for nominal wall

thicknesses of 12.7 mm or less, but greaterthan 6.35 mm.

c) Three gas pockets for nominal wallthicknesses greater than 12.7 mm. Thegreatest dimension of a gas pocket shallnot exced 1.6 mm. Slag inclusion shall beseparated by at least 13 mm of soundmetal and shall be not greater than0.8 mm deep or 3 mm wide.

A-3 REPAIR-WELDERS PERFORMANCETEST

A-3.1 Repair-welders performance tests arerequired on two specimens from each test ofevery grade, except that a welder qualified on

one grade is also qualified for any lower grade.If either of the two specimens fails to conformto the requirements specified, four retests shallbe required if made immediately, or two retestsshall be required if the welder takes furtherinstructions in the practice before making aretest. All retests shall conform to the

requirements specified. Further performancetests are required at a minimum of one-yearintervals, and also if the repair-welder is notengaged in the tested repair-welding procedurefor a period of three months or more, or if there

is some specific reason to question his ability.Both of the following tests shall be made:

a) Transverse guided-bend test as stipulatedunder welding procedure test ( seeA-2.4 );and

b) Nick-break test as stipulated underwelding-procedure test ( seeA-2.5 ).
