The total length of pipe supplied per item on an order shall not
be less than the amount ordered and shall not exceed the
amount ordered by more than three lengths, except by
agreement.
a) Unless otherwise agreed, random lengths shall be
delivered within the tolerances given in Table 12.
b) Approximate lengths shall be delivered within a tolerance J.6.3 Unless otherwise agreed, the minimum average length of

Out-of-Roundness at the ends shall not exceed 1.0% of
specified (nominal) O.D. For pipe with D/t < 75, the difference
between maximum diameter and minimum diameter shall
meet the requirement of paragraph 9.11.3.1 [Table 10] of API
SPEC 5L subject to a maximum of 0.24 inch.

pipe shall be 12.1 m (39.7 ft). If
requested by the purchaser, the pipe manufacturer shall confirm
the maximum average length of pipe to be supplied per order
item. Unless otherwise agreed, the actual length of each pipe
(end face to end face) shall lie within the range 11.70 m (38.4 ft)
to 12.70 m (41.7 ft).
Note:- it is, therefore, the responsibility of the purchaser to agree
with both the
manufacturer and the pipe-lay contractor on the length range to
be supplied.
9.12.6.3 The out-of-squareness, as shown in Figure 3, shall
be ≤ 1.6 mm (0.063 in.). The out-ofsquareness is measured
as the gap between the end of the pipe and the pipe end leg.
1) The total deviation from a straight line, over the entire
pipe length, shall be ≤ 0.2 % of the pipe length, as shown in
Figure 1.
2)The local deviation from a straight line in the 1.5 m (5.0 ft)
portion at each pipe end shall be ≤ 3.2 mm (0.125 in.), as
shown in Figure 2. J.6.4 The total deviation from a straight line over the entire pipe
length shall be ≤ 0.15 % of the pipe length.
