Materials and manufacturing
1. Nominal steel pipes can be hot-finished or cold-drawn, and have undergone the final heat treatment required by the standard.
2. P2 and P12 grade steel. These two grades of steel should be manufactured using the coarse grain melting process. If there are special requirements for grain size or deoxidation process, they should be agreed upon by the purchaser and the steel manufacturer.
3. Heat treatment
1. Except for PSC, P23, P91, P92, P122 and P911 grade steel and as specified, all grades of nominal pipes shall be reheated and supplied in a fully annealed, isothermal annealed or normalized and tempered state. If supplied in the normalized and tempered state, the minimum tempering temperature for P5, P5B, P9, P21 and P22 grade steel shall be 675°C. The minimum tempering temperature for P1, P2, P11, P12 and P15 grade steel shall be should be 650 ℃
2. The final heat treatment of P92 and P911 grade steel should be normalizing at a minimum of 1040 ℃ and tempering at a minimum of 730 ℃.
