4. Materials and Manufacture
4.1 The steel for both seamless and welded pipe shall be
made by one or more of the following processes: open-hearth,
electric-furnace, or basic-oxygen.
4.2 If steels of different grades are sequentially strand cast,
identification of the resultant transition material is required.
The steel producer shall remove the transition material by any
established procedure that positively separates the grades.
4.3 The weld seam of electric-resistance welded pipe in
Grade B shall be heat treated after welding to a minimum of
1000 °F [540 °C] so that no untempered martensite remains, or
otherwise processed in such a manner that no untempered
martensite remains.
4.4 When pipe is cold expanded, the amount of expansion
shall not exceed 112 of the specified outside diameter of the
pipe.
5. Chemical Composition
5.1 The steel shall conform to the requirements as to
chemical composition given in Table 1 and the chemical
analysis shall be in accordance with Test Methods, Practices,
and Terminology A751.
6. Product Analysis
6.1 The purchaser is permitted to perform an analysis of two
pipes from each lot of 500 lengths, or fraction thereof. Samples
for chemical analysis, except for spectrographic analysis, shall
