A691 CHROME MOLY ELECTRIC FUSION WELDED (EFW) PIPE
UKR Steel Products can help your team with A691 EFW pipe in the grades and classes listed in the following tables:
Scope
This specification covers steel pipe 16 inches in outside diameter or larger that is an electric fusion welded (EFW) with filler metal added, fabricated from pressure vessel quality plate, and suitable for high-pressure service at moderate temperatures. Several grades designate the type of plate used; classes designate the type of heat treatment performed during the manufacture of the pipe, whether the weld is radiographically examined, and if the pipe has been pressure tested.
Chemical composition
Product analysis of plate: The pipe manufacturer shall analyze each mill heat of plate material. The product analysis shall meet the requirements of the plate specification to which the material was ordered.
Product analysis of weld: The pipe manufacturer shall analyze the finished deposited weld material from every 200 feet or a fraction thereof. The analysis shall conform to the welding procedure for deposited weld material.
Heat treatment
Classes 10, 11, 12 and 13 are not heat treated. All other classes must be heat treated according to the parameters shown below:
Permissible Variations in Wall Thickness and Weight
Dictated by the requirements of the specification to which the manufacturer ordered the plate.
Permissible Variations in Outside Diameter
Based on circumferential measurement +/-0.5% of the specified outside diameter.
