Carbon Steel Pipes Tubes

Applications
Carbon Steel is used in the most critical engineering applications and also in certain applications
in the automotive sector. In addition, some of the value-added Carbon Steel products include steel
for LPG cylinders, API grade, corrosion resistant steel, critical structural application steel, boiler
quality, auto grades, precision tubes and medium/high carbon grades, among others.

9.8.3 Pipe weld and HAZ tests
The minimum average (of a set of three test pieces) absorbed energy for
each pipe weld and HAZ test, based upon full-size test pieces and a test
temperature of 0 °C (32 °F), or if agreed a lower test temperature, shall
be
a) 27 J (20 ft.lbf) for pipe with D < 1 422 mm (56.000in) in grades =
L555 or X80;
b) 40 J (30 ft.lbf) for pipe with D = 1 422 mm (56.000 in);
c) 40 J (30 ft.lbf) for pipe in grades > L555 or X80.
NOTE :The HAZ of the longitudinal seam weld in HFW welded pipe
is usually too narrow to permit accurate sampling for Charpy testing.
The requirement for Charpy testing of the seam weld HAZ applies only
to SAWL/SAWH and COWL/COWH pipe
