Pipe (Steel?) Grade Designation
Pipe (Steel?) Grade Designation
(OP)
"all specimens shall exhibit a minimum absorbed energy
value of 27 J (20 ft-lbf) for Grade P386 (X386) and lower,
and a minimum of 54 J (40 ft-lbf) for grades higher than
P386 (X386). Weld metal shall meet an absorbed energy
value of 27 J (20 ft-lbf) minimum for all grades"
Dear All, The above paragraph is from ASME B16.49 for Induction Bends. I am guessing that P386 and X386 refer to API 5l X 56 pipe. However, I am not sure. Can someone point me to the source with the explanation? Thanks.
