Process
Killed steel, with primary melting process being open-hearth, basic-oxygen, or
electric-furnace, possibly combined with separate degassing or refining.
Steel cast in ingots or strand cast is permissible.
Hot-finished pipe need not be heat treated.
Cold-drawn pipe shall be heat treated after the final cold draw pass.

Hydrostatic Testing
Inspection test pressures produce a stress in the pipe wall equal to 60% of
specified minimum yield strength (SMYS) at room temperature. Maximum Pressures
are not to exceed 2500 psi for NPS3 and must stay under 2800 psi for the larger
sizes. Pressure is maintained for not less than 5 seconds.
Mechanical Tests Specified
Tensile Test -- NPS 8 and larger -- either transverse or longitudinal
acceptable Smaller than NPS 8 -- weighed in lots. Larger sizes -- by length.
Flattening Test -- NPS 2-1/2 and larger. Bending Test (Cold) -- NPS 2 and
under.
