average (3 specimens in the same set) absorbed energy of steel pipe welds and HAZ full-size
specimen tests should not be less than 40 J.
A.4.5 Steel pipe drop weight tear (DWT) test
A.4.5.1 At a test temperature of 0 C, the average shear area of each test (a set of 2 specimens)
should not be less than 85%. If agreed upon, the test may be performed at a lower temperature.
For steel pipes with wall thickness greater than 25.4 mm, the acceptance requirements of the
DWT test should be determined through negotiation.
A.4.5.2 If the DWT test is performed at a temperature lower than the specified test temperature,
and the test complies with the corresponding requirements for shear area, then, the test is
deemed to be qualified.
A.4.5.3 When an abnormal fracture occurs during the DWT test, Appendix B should be adopted
to evaluate the abnormal fracture.
A.4.6 Hardness test
The hardness of the pipe body, welds and HAZ should not be greater than 220 HV10 (67.6 HR
15 N).
If agreed with the purchaser and if the specified wall thickness is greater than 9 mm, the
maximum acceptable hardness measured on the indentation row 1.5 mm from the outer surface
of the steel pipe should not be greater than 250 HV10 or 22 HRC (70.6 HR 15 N).
Vickers hardness test or Rockwell HR 15 N indenter may be used for the hardness test. If the
latter is used and there are requirements, the hardness value can be converted into HRC hardness
value.

A.4.7.1 When using Solution A (environment) of GB/T 8650 to evaluate the anti-HIC test, the
respective maximum allowable average ratios of 3 sections of each specimen should comply
with the following acceptance limits:
a) Crack sensitivity ratio (CSR) is equal to 0%;
b) Crack length ratio (CLR) is equal to 0%;
c) Crack thickness ratio (CTR) is equal to 0%.
A.4.7.2 If the HIC test is performed in an alternative medium simulating specific service
conditions (see A.7.4.3.3), the acceptance limits should comply with A.4.7.1.
A.5 Surface Conditions, Imperfections and Defects
A.5.1 In addition to the undercut of SAW pipes, surface imperfections found during visual
method or the HR15N Rockwell test method. The HV10 Vickers test is carried out in
accordance with the provisions of ISO 6507-1 or ASTM E92. The HR15N Rockwell test is
carried out in accordance with the provisions of ISO 6508-1 or ASTM E18. In case of dispute,
the HV10 Vickers test method should be used for arbitration.
The hardness test of HAZ and welds should be subjected to the HV10 Vickers test in accordance
with ISO 6507-1 or ASTM E92.
In the hardness test of the base metal area of the welded joints of seamless pipe bodies and
welded pipes, when the single-point hardness reading exceeds the corresponding acceptance
limit, if the average value of the minimum value among 3 points and the maximum value among
6 points added near these 3 points does not exceed the corresponding acceptance limit, and the
single-point reading exceeds the corresponding acceptance limit by no more than 10HV10 or
2HRC (choose whichever is applicable), the single point may also be deemed to be qualified.
Vickers hardness test or Rockwell HR 15N indenter may be adopted for the hardness test. If the
latter is used and there are requirements, the hardness value can be converted into HRC hardness
value.
A.7.4.2.2 The hardness test location of seamless pipes is shown in Figure H.1 a) in API Spec
5L:2018, except for the following circumstances:
a) For steel pipes with t < 4.0 mm, the test should only be conducted transversely in the
middle of the thickness;
b) For steel pipes with 4.0 mm t < 6.0 mm, the test should only be carried out
transversely on the inner and outer surfaces;
c) If agreed upon, three-point indentation hardness test at each through-thickness
location [see Figure H.1 a) in API Spec 5L:2018] is acceptable.
A.7.4.2.3 The hardness test location of welded pipes includes the weld cross section. The
hardness indentation point is on the base metal, visible HAZ and weld centerline, as shown in
Figure H.1 b) ~ d) in API Spec 5L:2018, except for the following circumstances:
a) For steel pipes with t < 4.0 mm, the test should only be conducted transversely in the
middle of the thickness;
b) For steel pipes with 4.0 mm t < 6.0 mm, the test should only be carried out
transversely on the inner and outer surfaces;
c) If agreed upon, as long as the hardness indentation point is still located on the base
metal, the distance between the hardness indentation point of the base metal and the
weld centerline may be less than the distance shown in Figure H.1 c) in API Spec
5L:2018.
A.7.4.3 HIC test
A.7.4.3.1 The HIC test should be carried out and reported in accordance with the requirements
of GB/T 8650.
A.7.4.3.2 Except as permitted by A.7.4.3.3, the HIC test should be carried out in the A solution
medium that complies with GB/T 8650.
A.7.4.3.3 If agreed upon, the HIC test may be carried out in accordance with the following
requirements:
a) In the alternative medium B solution (environment) of GB/T 8650;
b) The H2S partial pressure should be compatible with the service conditions.
A.7.4.3.4 Report the crack length ratio, crack thickness ratio and crack sensitivity ratio. If
agreed upon, the photos of any reportable cracks should be attached to the report.
A.7.5 Non-destructive testing
The non-destructive testing should be carried out in accordance with Appendix K in API Spec
5L:2018.
A.7.6 HIC Re-test
If a set of HIC test specimens does not comply with the acceptance limit, the purchaser and the
manufacturer should negotiate to determine the re-test requirements. If applicable, it should be
reprocessed in accordance with the provisions of 10.2.11 in API Spec 5L:2018.
A.8 Markings of Steel Pipes
In addition to the steel pipe markings required in 5.15, the steel pipe markings also include an
identification number to indicate the relations between the product or delivery batch and the
relevant inspection documents. After the symbol of the product specification level, add the letter
“H” to indicate that the steel pipes are intended to be used as pure hydrogen transmission
pipelines and that the requirements of Appendix A apply.
Only steel pipes that comply with the requirements of PSL 2 and the supplementary
requirements of Appendix A of this document can be marked in accordance with the provisions
of this document and with the letter “H” to indicate that the steel pipes are intended to be used
for pure hydrogen transmission.
