Flattening test
Steel tubes with an outer diameter greater than 22 mm and up to 400 mm, and wall thickness greater than 10 mm should undergo the flattening test. After the samples are flattened
Bending test
Steel tubes with an outer diameter not greater than 22 mm should undergo the bending test. The bending angle is 90o . The bending radius is 6 times the outer diameter of the steel tube.After bending the sample, no fissures or cracks are permitted to appear on the sample.
Macroscopic examination
For steel tubes directly made by continuously cast billets or steel ingots, the supplying party should guarantee that there are no white spots, impurities, sub-surface air bubbles, skull patches or layering on the cross-sectional acid pickled macroscopic tissue of the billet or steel tube.
Non-destructive inspection
According to the demanding party’s request, which is then negotiated between the supplying and demanding parties and indicated in the agreement, ultrasonic flaw detection may be individually performed for steel tubes. The longitudinal manual defect of the reference sample tube should meet the requirements for post-inspection acceptance grade C8 specified in GB/T 5777-1996.
