ELECTRIC RESISTANCE WELDED STEEL PIPE

1.Scope

1.1 This specification covers five grades of electric -fusion (arc)-welded straight-seam or spiral-seam steel pipe 
in NPS 4 to 92 (Note 1) inclusive with nominal (average) wall thick-dimensions (Note 2) may be furnished provided 
such pipe complies with all other requirements of this specification. 

The grades of steel are pipe mill grades having mechanical properties which differ from standard plate grades, 
The pipe is intended for conveying liquid , gas, or vapor.

NOTE 1?The dimensionless designator NPS 9nominal pipe size) has been substituted in this standard for such traditional terms as "nominal diameter," "size," and "nominal size."

NOTE 2?A comprehensive listing of standardized pipe dimensions is contained in ANSI B36.10.

NOTE 3?T he suitability of pipe for various purposes is somewhat dependent on its dimensions, properties, and conditions of service. For example, for high-temperature service see applicable codes and Specification A 691. 


1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as the standard. 
Chemical composition Mechanical Properties 

Chemical Composition
 

The steel shall conform to the chemical requirements prescribed in Table 1 and 
the chemical analysis shall be in accordance with Test methods, Practices, and Terminology A 751.

Note-The above table gives the computed minimum elongation values for each 1/32-in.
(0.79-mm) decrease in wall thickness. Where the wall thickness lies between two values shown above,
the minimum elongation value shall be determined by the following equation:

Grade Equation
A E = 56t + 17.50
B E = 48t + 15.00
C E = 48t + 12.50
D E = 48t + 8
E E = 64t + 2

where: E = elongation in 2 in. (50 mm), %, andt = actual thickness of spectimen, in. Material Comparison Tables (ASTM -> KS, JIS, DIN, BS, NBN, NF, UNI)
