(OP)
Currently working on a cryogenic piping project. Received fabricated pipe spools from client. Please Note: Spools have been sitting in a storage facility for three years. Pipe spools were checked for dimension & damage when end caps were removed it was noticed there were multiple ID surface conditions. One of the major conditions was spatter from initial fabrication (Plasma cutting)that goes quite a long way up the pipe the other concern was some of the straight lengths has a sand paper type of surface through out the length of pipe. We have taken one sample spool with the residual spatter & sandblasted it removed all of the residual spatter leaving a surface finish the meets SSPC SP-10 only concern was the blast medium had iron oxide in the blast medium. Once the fabrication is complete we will be completing pacification flush after hydo testing.

I don't see a question......seems more like a diary entry.......

RE: SA-312TP316L ID Surface

My concern is having iron oxide in the grit blast medium, which could result in rust staining and possible corrosion concerns.

You are correct question one is the blasting with the blast media that contains 10% to 20% iron oxide acceptable to remove the spatter from the plasma cutting. Other question is has any one ever seen stainless pipe have a sand paper ID surface.

It is OK if you nitric acid passivate afterwards, of course you are going to passivate anyways aren't you?
