 TOLERANCES ON THICKNESS AND MASS

A] THICKNESS

1) Welded Tubes :

ERW PIPES 10 %

B] MASS

1) The tolerance on mas per 7.5 % on the nominal

cart load of 10 tonnes or theretical mass of tubes
above

B] OVALITY

1) Ovality shall not exceed 1 percent of the specified outside

diameter for pipes having diameter to thickness ratio
not exceeding 100.

TEST ON TUBES :

STRAIGHTNESS :
Finished pipe shall not deviate from straightness by more
than 0.2 Percent of the total length .

FLATTENING TEST :

1] The test shall be made on a ring sample not less than 40 mm in length.

2] No crack /fracture in the weld to be observed until the distance between the
plates is less than 75 % outside diameter of the pipe.

3] No crack /fracture in the metal to be observed until the distance between the
 plates is less than 60 % outside diameter of the pipe.

HYDROSTATIC TEST :

The hydraulic test pressure shall be the pressure calculated as per

the following formula.
2ST
P=
D

The hydraulic test pressure shall be applied for 5 Second.

and shall not show any leakage in the pipe.
