PURPOSE: ‘The purpose of this work instruction is to establish and maintain the documented procedure to ensure that the guided bend testis carried out as per the applicable specifications / standards. SCOPE: ‘This work instruction is intended to carry out the guided bend test of HSAW and LSAW pipes. RESPONSIBILITY: Manager (LAB) / Dy. Manager (QC) will be responsible for testing and maintaining the records of testing, APPLICABLE CODE AND TESTING FREQUENCY: ‘As per latest edition of API SL / ASTM A 370 / Customer specification / other relevant standards as specified in the approved QAP / MPS / Process sheet / Product plan. SAMPLE ORIENTATION: (One root and one face bend specimen shall be taken from the SAW pipes with the weld at the centre of the specimen, PREPARATION OF THE TEST SPECIMEN: i) For pipes with thickness > 19.0 mm, the pieces may be machined to provide a rectangular cross section having thickness 19.0 mm. For pipes with thickness < 19.0 mm, the test specimen shall be full wall thickness curved section test pieces (refer figure ~ 8 of API SL 45" edition) ii) The specimen shall be machined on both sides to get the specified width. Specimen shall represent the actual thickness of the pipe from which they were cut. The specimen shall be prepared to the dimensions and tolerances as per latest edition of API SL / [S 3589/ Approved drawing ES/PM/HSQC/00S. iii) The weld reinforcement shall be removed from both the sides and the surface shall be ground. Sharp corners shall be filed / ground. iv) Samples shall be etched to reveal the weld zone and the center of the weld shall be marked, imensions in rlimetras (nes) 1 T -_ TT \ ioe 2 SS Sa : | “The rasusn raha be lean than or equal fo 1.6 (0.085) BEND TEST SPECIMEN DIMENSIONSREF.

METHOD: i) ‘The maximum value for punch / iz dimensions shall be calculated using the following formula as per latest edition of API SL / IS 3589/ Customer specification. A= (1,15(D-2) /(eDA~2e-}-t Where, e = Strain (mm) D = Specified outside diameter (mm) 1 = Specified wall thickness of pipe (mm) 1.15 = Peaking factor, A = dimension (mm) ii) The mandrel dimension, Aga, expressed in millimeters / inches, shall not be greater than that determined using the equation, with the results rounded off to the nearest | mm, ili) Place the specimen on the bottom roller with the weld at the centre. The centerline of the jig should match the centerline of the weld portion. Specimen shall be bent approximately 180° at room temperature. 8. ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA: ‘As defined in the approved QAP / MPS / Process sheet / Product plan. 9.
