When a hydrostatic pressure that is specified by the purchaser, or in the
absence of that specification, the values given in Attached Table 1 - 2 is
applied, the pipe shall withstand it without leakage. In this case, the
purchaser may specify a value of pressure lower or higher than those
given in Attached Table 1 - 2 .

MPa for under 10 MPa and in 1 MPa for 10 MPa or over, and in'calculation,
the value P shall be calculated from the following formula and rounded off
to the nearest 0 . 5 MPa or 1 MPa.

made on the pipe, and there shall be no signal greater than those produced
by the artificial defects of the reference test block of division UD of the
working sensitivity specified in JIS G 0582 or of division EY of the working
sensitivity specified in JIS G 0583.

Remarks 1. The designation of the pipes shall be based on the nominal

diameter and nominal wall thickness (schedule number: Sch) .
However, for the nominal diameter, either A or B shall be used,
with the letter A or B suffixed to the figures of nominal
diameter for identification.
2. The mass value shall be calculated from the following formula
assuming 1 cm3 of steel to be 7.85 g and rounded off to 3
significant figures in accordance with JIS Z 8401. However, the
values exceeding 1000 kg/m shall be rounded off to whole
numbers in kg /m.
W=0.02466 t (D-t)
where unit mass of pipe (kg/m)
W :
wall thickness of pipe (mm)
t :

Appendix Supplementary Quality Requirements

The supplementary quality requirements shall be applied only when

requested by the purchaser, and the designed items among them shall be
carried out by the manufacturer.

Z 2 Elevated Temperature Yield Point or Proof Stress The elevated

temperature yield point or proof stress shall be as follows:
(1) The value of elevated temperature yield point or proof stress and the
testing temperature of the pipe shall be agreed upon by the purchaser
and the manufacturer.

(2) The test piece and the test method shall be in accordance with JIS
G 0567.
However, when it is practically difficult for a pipe to provide the test
piece specified in JIS G 0 5 6 7 , the shape of the test piece shall be
agreed upon by the purchaser and the manufacturer.

(3) The method of sampling test specimens and the number of test pieces
shall be as follows. Take one test specimen from each heat, and then
from one test specimen take one test piece for each testing tempera-
ture.

Z 3 Ultrasonic Examination The ultrasonic examination shall be as follows:

(1) The criterion of the working sensitivity for the ultrasonic examination
shall comply with the division UB or UC specified in JIS G 0 5 8 2 , and
there shall be no signal greater than those produced by the artificial
defects of the reference test block.

(2) The test method of the ultrasonic examination shall be in accordance

with JIS G 0582.

(3) The ultrasonic examination shall be performed for each pipe and the
results shall conform to the requirements specified in (1).
Z 4 Eddy Current Examination The eddy current examination shall be
as follows:
(1) The criterion of the working sensitivity for the eddy current exami-
nation shall comply with the division E V , EW, or EX specified in JIS
G 0583, and there shall be no signal greater than those produced by
the artificial defects of the reference test block.

(2) The test method of the eddy current examination shall be in accordance
with J I S G 0583.

(3) The eddy current examination shall b e performed for each pipe and
the results shall conform to the requirements specified in (I).

Z 5 Charpy Impact Test The Charpy impact test shall be as follows:

(1) The absorbed energy of the pipe in the Charpy impact test shall conform
to the requirements given in Appendix Table 1 or Table 2. In this case,
the test temperature shall be -lO°C, -2OOC or -3OOC by agreement
between the purchaser and the manufacturer.

Remark: The Charpy impact test shall not be imposed on the pipe not
affording to provide a test piece 1 0 x 5 mm.

(2) The test piece shall be No. 4 test piece specified in JIS Z 2202 to be
cut from a pipe in the longitudinal direction. However, the width of
the test piece may be altered to 7.5 mm or 5 mm according to the
dimensions of the pipe.

(3) The test method shall be in accordance with the method of Charpy
impact test specified in JIS Z 2242.

(4) The test results of Charpy impact test shall conform to the requirements
of (1).

(5) The method of sampling the test specimens and the number of test
pieces shall be as follows, Take one pipe as the specimen from each
100 pipes or its fraction of the concurrent heat treatment, and then
from each specimen take one set ( 3 pieces) of test pieces.

(6) Reinspection When the test results fail to satisfy the requirements,
a retest may be made to attain final acceptance provided that the
average value of absorption energy already obtained satisfies the

(a) Two of the three values are equal to o r higher than the specified
average value and only one fails to conform to the "value of each
piece" given in Appendix Table.

(b) Two of the three values satisfy the "value of each piece" given in
Appendix Table but fail to conform to the specified average value.
In these cases, one set ( 3 pieces) of test pieces shall be newly
taken from the same lot to be retested, and each of the three
individual tested values shaii conform to the "average value of
one setTfgiven in Appendix Table.
