Destructive Testing for Mild Carbon Steel
Destructive Testing for Mild Carbon Steel
(OP)
Ontop of basic bend testing (root, face, side), which other methods of destructive testing are required for mild carbon steel? I should clarify, this is for natural gas pipelines.
I'm looking at the following test types:
-Tensile Test
-Guided-Bend Test
-Toughness Test
-Fillet-Weld Test
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

For the weld procedure qualification, you should follow ASME B&PV Code, Section IX guidelines. In this case, it would be bend and tensile testing. YOU need to review the Code of Construction (C of C) for impact testing requirements. YOU should have a copy of the pertinent C of C if you are working in this business.
Do you know which of the above applies for your application (B31.4 or B31.8)? This is a test.

I will look into the API 1104 code as well. I guess this was not previously mentioned, but this is not for a particular current project, just updating/revising some welding specs for the future.
