Petroleum and natural gas industries — Factory bends, fittings and flanges for pipeline transportation systems — Part 4: Factory cold bends

This document specifies the technical delivery conditions for bends made by the cold bending process for bend with radii 5xOD or higher for use in pipeline transportation systems for the petroleum and natural gas industries as defined in ISO 13623. This document also specifies the requirements for the manufacture of two product specification levels (PSLs) of cold bends corresponding to product specification levels given for pipe in ISO 3183. This document is applicable to cold bends made from seamless and welded pipe of unalloyed or low-alloy steels. NOTE 1 These are typically C-Mn steels or low-alloy steels that are appropriate for the corresponding level and grade of line pipe in accordance with ISO 3183. This document is not applicable to the selection of the cold bend product specification level. It is the responsibility of the purchaser to specify the PSL, based upon the intended use and design requirements. NOTE 2 See also ISO 3183:2012, Introduction. This document is not applicable to field cold bends and pipeline bends made by other manufacturing processes.

Introduction
This document makes reference to line pipe and bends with delivery conditions based on ISO 3183.
This document contains additional requirements for special applications as follows:
— Manufacturing procedure specification (Annex A);
— PSL 2S cold bends ordered for sour service (Annex B).
The requirements of the annexes apply only where they are specified on the purchase order. This
document does not provide guidance on when it is necessary to specify the above supplementary
requirements defined in the annexes. It is the responsibility of the purchaser to specify, based upon the
intended use and design requirements, the supplementary requirements that will apply for a particular
purchase order.
Further or differing requirements can be needed for individual applications. This document is not
intended to inhibit a manufacturer from offering, or the purchaser from accepting, alternative equipment
or engineering solutions for the individual application. This can be particularly applicable where there
is innovative or developing technology. Where an alternative is offered, it is the responsibility of the
manufacturer to identify and provide details of any variations from this document.
