A671 and A672 EFW pipes

A671 and A672 are EFW (Electric-Fusion Welded) Carbon Steel Pipes utilized for atmospheric and lower temperatures applications (A671) and high-pressure services at moderate temperatures (A672). As referenced above, A671 is used for air and lower temperature applications and A672 is used for high-pressure service applications at moderate temperatures. In any case, on the off chance that we look at the subtleties for example A672 Gr.C60 and A671 Gr. CC60; the raw material plate utilized is no different than the two pipes and the final mechanical properties are something similar. Heat treatment is something very similar. The main differentiation between the 2 grades is just in the testing necessities. A672 requires a weld test drawn from a 500ft length of line and authorizes you to twofold the samples in the event that, the flawless example comes up short. A671 requires a weld test drawn from a 200ft length of line with no arrangement for a deserted weld.

Understanding difference in different grades

We have come across  grades among A671 and A672 classifications like CA/CB/CC (connoted the kind of plate utilized) and furthermore various classes like CL 12/22/32 and so forth. We will endeavor to clarify these distinctions in the beneath table with worked on arrangement.

The above grouping ought to work on any disarray as for various grades and arrangement. Aside from these, there are different classes like CL 10, CL13 and C42. The distinctions is because of Radiography and Test Pressure, for eh CL 10 does not need radiography as well as the pressure test, CL 13 does not need radiography but required Test Pressure, CL 42 needs the plate to be normalized as well as tempered with Radiography Testing and Test Pressure.
