Does any one have any information on cold weather bending(-10F and below)of API-5L X52 piping?
 
Heat and bend. Look at the possibility of brittle fracture.
 
When I last did a study (many years ago) of the ductile to brittle transition temp of X52, it ranged from 20 F to 140 F.
 
Just curious, what diameter pipe are you talking about?
