Tensile Requirements
Seamless | |||
Grade A | Grade B | Grade C | |
Tensile Strength, min., psi | 48,000 | 60,000 | 70,000 |
Yield Strength, min., psi | 30,000 | 35,000 | 40,000 |
Hydrostatic Testing
Inspection test pressures produce a stress in the pipe wall equal to 60% of specified minimum yield strength (SMYS) at room temperature. Maximum Pressures are not to exceed 2500 psi for NPS3 and under 2800 psi for the larger sizes. Pressure is maintained for not less than 5 seconds.
Mechanical Tests Specified
Bending Test (Cold) -- NPS 2 and under.
Degree of Bend | Diameter of Mandrel | |
For Normal A106 Uses | 90 | 12 x nom dia. of pipe |
For Close Coiling | 180 | 8 x nom dia. of pipe |
Tensile Test -- NPS 8 and larger -- either transverse or longitudinal acceptable
Smaller than NPS 8 -- weighed in lots. Larger sizes -- by length.
Flattening Test -- NPS 2-1/2 and larger.
