Steel and SS Pipe Dims and Tols
Steel and SS Pipe Dims and Tols
(OP)
I need to get the appropriate specification that covers the allowable diameter and wall thickness variation, and ovality of ERW and DSAW steel and stainless steel pipes.
There seems to be an abundance of specs (ASTM A53, A530, A999, A312, ASME B36.10, B39.10, API 5L)...which spec covers the allowable dimensions and tolerances for the pipes and which covers the material allowables?
Thanks in advance!

I've found pipe at distributors (such as API5L B/ERW, API5L B/DSAW, and A53-B WP ERW), but the distributors do not know which documents govern the dimensional tolerances. I would like to avoid buying several expensive specs just to follow a trail to the spec that governs the tolerances.
Any suggestions?

1. If the material you wish to purchase only has certificates of conformity then you either buy the standards and compute the possible range of dimensions or you institute physical measurement checks;
2. Look for material with certificates to ISO 10474/EN 10204 2.3 or higher wherein the dimensional measurements for the test unit of pipe will be reported on the inspection documents although OOR will generally only be reported as "acceptable".
Good luck.

Of the specs that you list, I'm not familiar with "B39.10" and could not find it the standards data base that I have access to.
Can you provide the title and a brief description of the document so I can determine if it's something that I want to review.

should read "...ASME B36.10, B36.19,..."
Sorry for the confusion.
