A discontinuity is termed a Lamination when the flaw echo is at least
50% of the reduced back wall echo or causes complete loss of the back
wall echo and has an intercept on the scan line as specified in clause SR
4.3.3 c(1) herein after.

3. Inclusion Cluster:

A discontinuity is termed an inclusion cluster, if

a) individual discontinuities give rise to flaw echoes that are at
least 50% of the reduced back wall echo or cause at least a 50%
reduction in the back wall echo obtained in an ultrasonically
clean area of the steel. Further, the distance between individual
discontinuities is less than 12 mm. Although the intercept of
each individual discontinuity on the scan lines is less than that
for laminations, the total intercept of the cluster exceeds that
given in clause SR 4.3.3.d(1) hereinafter.

OR

b) the back wall echo is reduced by at least 50% of the echo
obtained on an ultrasonically clean area of the steel without
simultaneous appearance of a flaw echo whose height is at least
50% of the reduced back wall echo, and the intercept of the

SR.5 B.2 The testing frequency shall be as specified in API 5L. Three specimens
representing one test, shall be machined from a sample taken in a manner
mentioned in para SR.5.4 above.

SR 5 B.4 At the test temperature, the acceptance criteria for impact values for three full
sized specimens shall be as given below :

Grade Min. Average Min. Individual

Gr-B 27 J 21 J

X-56 39 J 29 J
X-60 41 J 31 J
X-65 43 J 33 J

Note : The average impact values are determined by finding the mean of the values of
each group of three specimens from each sample taken separately. The
minimum impact value is determined by considering the values of the
individual specimens from the sample.

Mill Qualification Tests

Prior to start of regular production, the following tests shall be carried out, in
order to qualify the Mill for regular production of pipes.

Sulphide Stress Cracking Test.

Sulphide Stress Cracking Test in accordance with NACE standard TM-0177-
90. The test shall be carried out at 60, 72,80,90 and 100% SMYS stress levels
to produce a curve. Minimum stress for failure after 720 hours shall be atleast
72% of SMYS.

Hydrogen Induced Cracking Test.

The HIC test shall be carried out in accordance with NACE standard TM-02-
84, Test Method of Pipeline Steel for Resistance to Stepwise Cracking and
as specified in clause 9.3.7 of this specification. The acceptance criteria for
crack sensitivity ratio (CSR) shall be 0.00%.

Four Point Bend Test

Manufacturer shall carry out Four Point Bend Test using NACE solution as
specified in clause 9.3.8 of this specification. The acceptance criteria shall be
that the specimen shall not have any SSC cracks when examined visually as
well as with wet magnetic particle method.
