3.0 DEFINITIONS
3.1 Analysis, Heat

The chemical analysis reported by the steel producer as being representative
of the heat of steel.
3.2 Analysis, Product

The chemical analysis made on a sample taken from the finished product or
material representative o f the pipe. Also known as check analysis .
3.3 Heat
Heat shall mean material produced from the same batch of steel tapped from
a melting furnace, rolled into plate or coil using the same rolling practice, and
made into pipe using the same forming, welding and expanding procedures.
3.4 Killed Steel

Steel treated with aluminum and silicon or other deoxidisers to minimize gas
evolution during cooling.
3.5 Manufacturer
The term Manufacturer as used in this specification shall mean those who
have contracted to provide pipe, including their manufacturing facilities.
3.6 NPS
NPS means nominal pipe size, and the NPS system of nominal size
designation is contained in standards prepared by the American Society of
Mechanical Engineers.
3.7 Pipe
A pressure-tight cylinder used to convey a fluid or to transmit a fluid
pressure. Types of pipe, defined according to the method of manufacture,
are as follows:
3.7.1 Electric Fusion Welded Pipe

Pipe produced from coiled skelp, having a longitudinal butt joint
wherein coalescence is produced by manual or automatic electric-
arc welding. The weld may be single (welded from one side) or
double (welded from inside and outside) and may be made with or
without the addition of filler metal.
3.7.2 Electric Resistance Welded (ERW)

Pipe produced from coiled skelp, having a longitudinal butt joint
wherein coalescence is produced by heat obtained from the
resistance of the pipe to the flow of current in a circuit of which the
pipe is a part.
3.7.3 Electric Welded

A collective term for referring to both electric induction welded pipe
and electric resistance welded pipe. This term does not cover
electric fusion welded pipe.
3.7.4 Furnace Butt-Welded, Continuous Welded

Pipe produced from coiled skelp, having a longitudinal butt joint forge
welded by the mechanical pressure developed in passing the hot-
formed and edge-heated skelp through a set of round pass welding
rolls.
3.7.5 Double Submerged-Arc Welded (DSAW)

Pipe produced from coiled skelp or discrete plates, having a
longitudinal butt joint produced by at least two passes, one which is
on the inside of the pipe. Coalescence is produced by heating with
an electric arc or arcs between the bare metal electrode or
electrodes and the work. The welding is shielded by a blanket of
granular fusible material on the work. Pressure is not used and filler
metal for the welds is obtained from the electrodes.
3.7.6 Seamless
Pipe produced by piercing a billet followed by rolling or drawing, or
both.
3.8 Skelp
The hot-rolled plate or coil that is used to form pipe.
3.9 SMYS
SMYS means Specified Minimum Yield Strength. This is the minimum
yield strength prescribed by the specification or standard under which a
material is purchased.
4.0 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

To the extent that chemical composition and skelp rolling practice affects field
weldability using conventional pipeline cellulosic welding procedures, the
Manufacturer shall ensure fitness of the pipe for joining lengths into a conventional
oil pipeline.
5.0 MATERIALS AND MANUFACTURE
5.1 Deoxidation Practice

All pipe manufactured to this specification shall be made from fully-killed
steel. Silicon is an acceptable deoxidizer, but aluminium shall also be used
for grain refinement.
5.2 Pipe Manufacture
5.2.1 Material Specification

This standard covers pipe made to the requirements of CSA
Standard Z245.1. Where such line pipe is not available, pipe that is
manufactured in accordance with API Standard 5L shall be
permitted.
5.2.2 Process of Manufacture

Only pipe produced by the submerged arc welding (SAW), high
frequency electric resistance welding (HFERW) and seamless
manufacturing processes are acceptable. Pipe produced by furnace
butt-welding or continuous welding and electric fusion welding
processes are specifically prohibited. For submerged arc welded
pipe, the pipe shall contain a single straight seam using at least two
weld passes. At least one pass shall be made from the inside and at
least one pass shall be made from the outside.
5.2.3 Maximum Cold Expansion

Where pipe is cold expanded, the maximum nominal expansion shall
be no more than 1.5 percent, calculated as follows:
(O.D. after expansion) – (O.D. prior to expansion) = % Expansion

O.D. prior to expansion
