a When OD<73.02mm, Charpy V-Notch test isn’t necessary; when 73.02≤OD≤101.6mm,we

do Charpy V-Notch test in the longitudinal direction; when OD＞101.6mm, we do Charpy
V-Notch test in the transverse direction, test temperature shall be 0 degree centigrade. The
average value of the three impact specimens shall equal or exceed the absorbed energy
requirement specified in table 3. In addition, not more than one impact specimen shall exhibit an
absorbed energy below the absorbed energy requirement, and in no case shall an individual
impact specimen exhibit an absorbed energy below two-thirds of the absorbed energy
requirement.

b When full size specimen isn’t available, the sub-size specimen with width that 7.5mm or
5.0mm shall be acceptable. The minimum CVN absorbed energy requirement for sub-size test
specimens shall be that specified for a full-size test specimen multiplied by the reduction factor
0.80 and 0.55.

5 Inspection
5.1 Pipes shall be measured each by each with available measurement.
5.2 Internal and external surface shall be visually inspected with light.
5.3 Inspection Item、Inspection Methods、Specimen Taken shall be according to Table 4.

one lot, and pipes which is less than one hundred will be in the near lot.
5.5 Re-tests and Determination .
If a tensile test 、Charpy V-Notch test or Hardness test fails to conform to the specified
requirements, the manufacturer shall remove this pipe from the lot and elect to make re-tests on
two additional pipes from the same lot, if any test fails to conform to the specified requirements,
pipes in this lot will be all rejected.
Rejected lots may be re-heat-treated and tested as new lots.
