impact test requirement for API 5L B (PSL-2)pipes 1

[whila]

Dear All,

I have question for impact test requirement for API 5L B (PSL-2)pipes
Could you please answer for me which pipe size can be impact tested?
1. In case of small size pipe, can be possible?
2. regarding impacte test size, is there any discrepancy with A370?

It would be highly appreciated if somebody give information...

Thank you

What code are you using?
I think the Code and your design data dictate impact testing ...

Dear XL83NL & SJones

Applicable specification is API 5L.
I thick applicable pipe size which can be impact tested is to be larger than 4 1/2 inch according to API 5L table 14.
Is it correct??

Look at Table 22 in the 2012 version
