ASTM A984/A984M-03

Standard Specification for Steel Line Pipe, Black, Plain-End, Electric-Resistance-Welded

ABSTRACT
This specification covers electric-resistance-welded, black, plain-end, steel pipe for use in the conveyance of fluids under pressure. It is intended that the pipe be capable of being circumferentially welded in the field when welding procedures in accordance with the requirements of the applicable pipeline construction code are used. The required chemical compositions for the steel material are presented. Different mechanical test requirements are presented which includes, tension test, and flattening test. Also, each length of pipe shall be subjected to the hydrostatic test without leakage through the weld seam or the pipe body. Finally, the weld seam of each length of pipe shall be inspected using a non-destructive electric test method.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers electric-resistance-welded, black, plain-end, steel pipe for use in the conveyance of fluids under pressure. Pipe in sizes NPS 1 to 26, inclusive, with nominal wall thickness 0.750 in. [19.1 mm] or less, as given in ASME B36.10M is included. Pipe having other dimensions, in this size range, may be furnished provided such pipe complies with all other requirements of this specification.
1.2 It is intended that the pipe be capable of being circumferentially welded in the field when welding procedures in accordance with the requirements of the applicable pipeline construction code are used.
1.3 The values stated in either inch-pound units or in SI units are to be regarded separately as standard. Within the text, the SI units are shown in brackets. The values in each system are not exact equivalents; therefore, each system is to be used independently of the other.
