In this case, each length so furnished shall include the mandatory marking of the letters “NH, 13.4 When the hydrostatic test and the NDE test sre omitted ‘and the lengths marked with the letters “NH”, the certification, when required, shall clearly state "Not Hydro statically ‘esicd”, the specification number and materi grade, as shown ‘on the certification, shall be followed by the letters “NH” 14. Nondestructive Electrie Test 14.1 When allowed by 13.2, each pipe shall be tested with nondestructive clectric test in accordance with Practice E213, Practice E 309, or Practice E570. In such cases, the ‘marking of each length of pipe so furnished shall include the letters “NDE”. It is the iment of this test to reject pipe with imperfections that produce test signals equal or greater than that of the calibration standard, 14.2 When the nondestructive electric test is performed, the lengths shall be marked with the letters “NDE”. The certification, when required, shall state “Nondestructive Electric Tested” and shall indicate which of the tests was applied. Also the letters “NDE” shall be appended to the product specification number and material grade shown on the certification. 14.3 The following information is forthe benefit of the user of this specification: 143.1 The reference standards defined in 14.4 through 14.6 fre convenient standards for calibration of nondestructive testing equipment, The dimensions of such standards are not to be construed as the minimum sizes of imperiections detectable by such equipment 14.32 The ultrasonic testing referred to in this specification is capable of detecting the presence and location of significant longitudinally or circurnferentially oriented imperfections however, different techniques need to be employed for the detection of such differently oriented imperfections. Ultrasonic testing is not necessarily capable of detecting short. deep imperfections 14.3.3 The eddy current examination referenced in this specification has the capability of detecting significant imperfections, especially of the short abrupt type 14.34 The flux leakage examination referred to in this specification is capable of detecting the presence and location of significant longitudinally or transversely oriented imperfections: however, different techniques need to be employed for the detection of such differently oriented imperfections. 14.3.5 The hydrostatic test referred to in Section 13 has the capability of finding defects of a size permitting the test fuid to leak through the tube wall and may be either visually seen Oo detected by a loss of pressure. Hydrostatic testing is not necessarily capable of detecting very tight, through-the-wall imperfections or imperfections that extend an appreciable distance into the wall without complete penetration. 14.3.6 A purchaser interested in ascertaining the nature (ype, size. location, and orientation) of discontinuities that can bbe detected in the specific applications of these examinations is directed 0 discuss this with the manufacturer of the tubular product 14.4 For ultrasonic testing, the calibration reference notches shall be, at the option of the producer, any one of the three ‘common noteh shapes shown in Practice E 213, The depth of notch shall not exceed 12 % of the specitied wall thickness of the pipe or 0.004 in, (0.102 mm), whichever is greater 14.5 For eddy current testing, the calibration pipe shalt contain, atthe option of the producer, any one of the following Giscontinuities to establish a minimum sensitivity level for rejection: 145.1 Drilled Hole—The calibration pipe shall contain depending upon the pipe diameter three holes spaced. 120° apart or four holes spaced 90° apart and sufficiently separated longitudinally to ensure separately distinguishable responses, ‘The holes shall be drilled radially and completely through the pipe wall, care being taken (0 avoid distortion ofthe pipe wl drilling. Depending upon the pipe diameter the calibration pipe4b A 106 shall contain the fotlowing hole: 0.0991. (te) bison 0.071 (38 9m) wisn 0.067 in. (22 en) oe.

(6.4-mm) diameter, 2 notch shall be filed or milled tangential to the surface and transverse to the longitudinal axis of the pipe. Said notch shall have a depth not exceeding 12/4 % of the specified wall thickness of the pipe or 0,004 in. (0.102 mm), whichever is greater. 1453 Longitudinal Notch—A notch 0.031 in, (0.787 mm) cr less in width shall be machined in a radial plane parallel to the tube axis on the outside surface of the pipe, to have a depth not exceeding 1214 % of the specified wall thickness of the tue or 0,004 in. (0.102 mm), whichever is greater. The length ‘of the notch shall be compatible with the testing method. 145.4 Compatibility—The discontinuity in the calibration pipe shall be compatible with the testing equipment and the method being used 1466 For flux leakage testing, the longitudinal calibration reference notches shall be straight-sided notches machined in a radial plane parallel to the pipe axis. For wall thickness under in, (12.7 ram), oatside and inside notches shall be used: for wall thickness equal and above Ys in, (12.7 mm), only an ouiside notch shall be used. Notch depth shall not exceed 1216% of the specitied wall thickness, or 0.004 in. (0.102 mm), whichever is greater. Notch length shall not exceed 1 in. (25.4 mm), and the width shal] not exceed the depth, Outside diameter and inside diameter notches shall be located ily apart to allow separation and identification of the 147 Pipe containing one or more imperfections that produce a signal equal to or greater than the signal produced by the calibration standard shall be rejected or the area producing the signal shall be reexamined. 14.7.1 Test signals produced by imperfections which cannot be identified, or produced by cracks or crack-like imperfections shalt result in rejection of the pipe, unless it is repaired and retested, To be accepted, the pipe must pass the same specification test to which it was originally subjected, provided that the remaining wall thickness is not decreased below that permitted by this specification. The OD at the point of ginding ‘may be reduced by the amount so reduced 14.7.2 Test signals produced by visual imperfections such as those listed below may be evaluated in accordance with the provisions of Section 18: 14.721 Dinges, 14.7.2.2 Straightener marks, 14.7.23 Cutting chips, 14.7.2 Scratches, 147.25 Steel die stamps, 14.7.2.6 Stop marks, or 14.7.7 Pipe reducer ripple. 14.8 The test methods described in this section are not necessarily capable of inspecting the end portion of pipes. a condition referred to as “end effect”.
