Scope:This specification covers nominal (average) wall seamless and welded carbon and alloy steel pipe intended for use at low temperature. Several grades of ferritic steel are included. Some product sizes may not be available under this specification because heavier wall thicknesses have an adverse affect on low-temperature impact properties.

Material & Manufacture:The pipe shall be made by the seamless or welding process with the addition of no filler metal in the welding operation.

Quality Standard:ASTM A333 Standard Specification for Seamless and Welded Steel Pipe for Low Temperature Service

Grades:Grade 1, Grade 3, Grade 4, Grade 6, Grade 7, Grade 8, Grade 9, Grade 10, Grade 11

Heat Treatment Requirements:All seamless and welded pipe shall be treated to control their microstructure by the following methods:

• Normalizing perASTM A333 Standard Specification for Seamless and Welded Steel Pipe for Low Temperature Servicesection 4.2.1.1; section 4.2.1.2 or section 4.2.1.3
• Quenched and Tempered per A 333/A 333M – 05 section 4.2.2.1
• Double Normalized and Tempered per A 333/A 333M – 05 section 4.2.2.2

Testing:Inspection and Test: Chemical Composition Inspection, Mechanical Properties Test(Tensile Strength,Yield Strength, Elongation, Flaring, Flattening, Bending, Hardness, Impact Test), Surface and Dimension Test,No-destructive Test, Hydrostatic Test.

• For material heat treated in a batch-type furnace, tests shall be made on 5% of the pipe from each treated lot.
• For small lots, at least one pipe shall be tested.
• For material heat treated by the continuous process, tests shall be made on a sufficient number of pipe to constitute 5% of the lot, but in no case less than 2 pipe.
• Hydrostatic Test
• Impact Test One notched bar impact test, consisting of breaking three specimens shall be made from each heat represtented in a heat-treatment load on specimens taken from the finished pipe.

Surface treatment:Oil-dip, Varnish, Passivation, Phosphating, Shot Blasting.
