Description / Abstract:
This specification covers double submerged-arc welded, black,
plain end steel pipe for use in the conveyance of fluids under
pressure. Pipe in sizes NPS 16 and larger, as given in ASME B36.10,
are included; pipe having other dimensions, in this size range, are
permitted, provided such pipe complies with all other requirements
of this specification.
It is intended that pipe be capable of being welded in the field
when welding procedures in accordance with the requirements of the
applicable pipeline construction code are used.
The values stated in either inch-pound units or in SI units are
to be regarded separately as standard. The values in each system
are not exact equivalents, therefore, each system is to be used
independently of the other, without combining values in any
way.
The following precautionary statement pertains to the test
method portion, Section 14 of this specification: This standard
does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any,
associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of
this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices
and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to
use.
