10.4.2 Furnace—Controlled Tensile Test—Group 1, 2, 3
For each heat of steel produced in accordance with this standard, the manufacturer shall conduct a tensile test as a control test for each heat of steel. For electric welded pipes, this controlled tensile test may be selected by the manufacturer, or be carried out on the steel billet or on finished tubes.
A furnace-controlled tensile test on a tube may also be used as a product test for this batch of tubes.

10.6.9 Specimen
The hardness test specimen shall be cut from the product according to the position shown in Figure D.10, or cut from the pipe end or extension according to the provisions of this standard. For all grades, the full wall hardness test shall be carried out on a test ring or test block.
For a full-wall hardness test in a quadrant, it shall be carried out on a specimen block taken from the specimen ring or tensile specimen. For full-wall hardness testing in four quadrants, it shall be performed on a sample ring or a sample block taken from a sample ring. The full-wall hardness test ring shall be prepared as specified in Figure D.11.
The two surfaces of the hardness sample should be ground parallel and smooth, and there should be no oxide scale, impurities and lubricants on the surface of the hardness sample.
10.6.10 Test method
Brinell hardness test should be carried out according to ISO6506-1 or ASTM E10, Rockwell hardness according to ISO 6508-1 or ASTM E18.
In this standard, two test methods are used:
a) The outer surface test consists of an indentation;
b) The full wall hardness test includes multiple indentations.
The outer surface hardness test can be carried out by either the Rockwell hardness method or the Brinell hardness method. As specified in this standard, the outer surface hardness test is used for product identification and process control.
The full-thickness hardness test shall be performed in accordance with the Rockwell hardness method and shall be used for product determination of maximum hardness, allowable quantification of hardness change and hardenability in the quenched state. The full-wall hardness test shall be carried out perpendicular to the axis of the steel pipe. When the sample ring is taken from the pipe end, the hardness test shall be carried out from the side of the sample ring away from the pipe end (ie away from the quenched end face). To reduce possible errors, the first hardness indentation in the first quadrant of each hardness test block or ring can be ignored.
When the specified wall thickness is less than 7.62mm (0.30in), for the full wall thickness hardness test, three indentations at the middle of the wall thickness of the sample shall be taken. For all other products, the 3 indentations in each quadrant should be in three locations. The hardness readings of 3 indentations at each location (eg: outer, middle and inner) are averaged as the average hardness reading for that location. The full-wall hardness test consists of the average hardness reading at each location in a quadrant. Whether the full-wall hardness test is performed in one quadrant or four quadrants shall be calibrated in accordance with this standard.
Internal and external indentations shall be measured in a band 2.54-3.18 mm from the surface, but the distance between the center of the indentation and the inner and outer surfaces shall not be less than 2½ times the diameter of the indentation. The distance between indentations should be at least 3 times the indentation diameter (from the center of the indentation to the center of the indentation). For thin-walled tubes, the spacing of each row is allowed to be staggered.
The full wall thickness test generally adopts the Rockwell C scale method. Materials with hardness below 20HRC are accepted by the Rockwell C scale method. When the hardness measured is lower than 20HRC, it should be used with care due to the loss of accuracy, but these results can be used to determine the hardness. Selected by the manufacturer or specified by the purchaser, the Rockwell B scale method may be used for materials with hardness below 20HRC. Rockwell hardness readings and average hardness readings shall be reported on the Rockwell C scale, accurate to one decimal place. When the order specifies the implementation of A.9 (SR15), the manufacturer shall provide three readings to the purchaser.
Unless agreed by the purchaser, the hardness conversion shall be selected by the manufacturer and converted according to a suitable conversion table.
The Brinell hardness reading should be rounded to three significant figures. When the test pressure is greater than 29.342kN (3000kgf), the diameter of the pressure ball is greater than 10mm, and the test pressure lasts for 10s~15s, the test conditions should be reported.
In case of dispute, the laboratory HRC scale hardness test shall be used as the drawing method.
10.6.11 Test invalid
If any hardness test specimen fails to be machined or defective, that test specimen may be scrapped and replaced with another test specimen.
10.6.12 Periodic calibration of hardness testing machines
Brinell hardness testing machine should be regularly calibrated according to ISO6506-1 or ASTM E18 Part B steps, Rockwell hardness tester should be regularly calibrated according to ISO6508-1 or ASTM E10 Part B steps; ISO title is “User Periodic Calibration” Testing Machine Procedures” section is linked to the ASTM section entitled “User Periodic Calibration Procedures”. At the beginning and end of the continuous operation of the testing machine, the tests are calibrated the required number of times so that the manufacturer, the purchaser (or its representative) can confirm that the testing machine is within the calibration range. Calibration is performed using standard test blocks in the following hardness ranges:
a) The second group: 20HRC~35HRC
b) Q125 steel grade: 25HRC~35HRC
If the calibration result of the testing machine is not within the calibration range, for Brinell hardness testing machines, use a standard test block according to ISO6506-2 or ASTM E18 Part B for indirect verification, and for Rockwell hardness testing machines, use a standard test block according to ISO6508-2. or ASTM E10 Part B Indirect Verification.
10.6.13 Re-inspection—–M65 and L80 steel grades
For M65 and L80 steel grades, if a full-wall hardness sample representing a batch of steel pipes does not meet the specified requirements, the manufacturer may take two more samples from the same batch and the same end of the original sample for re-inspection. If all the re-inspection samples meet the requirements, the batch of steel pipes shall be judged as qualified except the unqualified pipe that was initially sampled. If one or more of the re-inspection samples do not meet the specified requirements, the manufacturer may inspect the remaining steel pipes one by one or discard them as a whole.
10.6.14 Re-inspection—–Except coupling semi-finished products, pup joints or accessories cut into single pieces for heat treatment, other products of C90 and T95 grades
For grades C90 and T95, if either average hardness reading is between 25.4HRC and 27.0HRC (including 27.0HRC), then 3 more hardness readings shall be taken in the closest area to determine a new average hardness reading . If the new average hardness reading does not exceed 25.4HRC, the tube is qualified. If the new average hardness reading exceeds 25.4HRC, the canal should be rejected.
10.6.15 Reinspection—–C90 and T95 steel grades cut into single pieces and heat treated coupling semi-finished products, pup joints or accessories
For the semi-finished couplings, pup joints or accessories of steel grades C90 and T95 cut into single pieces for heat treatment, if a hardness sample representing a batch of steel pipes does not meet the specified requirements, the steel pipe shall be rejected. For the batch of steel pipes selected for the initial test, the manufacturer shall re-heat treatment of the batch of steel pipes or use the same selection criteria to retake 3 samples for testing. If any of the three re-test samples fails to meet the specified requirements, the entire heat treatment will be rejected.
10.6.16 Re-inspection—–Q125 steel grade—–General
If the permissible hardness variation on a sample exceeds that specified in C.6 or Table E.6, the hardness indentation in that quadrant may be ground away (at the option of the manufacturer), and the indentation in the initial test can be placed on the lower surface of the indentation. Try again. Only one regrind and retest is allowed for each specimen. After re-inspection, products that do not meet the requirements shall be scrapped.
10.6.17 Re-inspection—–Q125 steel grade—–casing
If more than one of the first 3 test tubes representing a batch of casing fails, the manufacturer may choose to test the remaining tubes of the batch one by one. Retests of these tubes shall only be permitted as specified in 10.6.16.
If only one of the first 3 test tubes representing a batch of casings fails. Then another 3 pipes can be taken for re-inspection to determine whether the batch of casings is qualified. When re-testing, only those specified in Section 10.6.16 are allowed. If any one of the 3 pipes in the re-inspection fails, the manufacturer can choose to test the remaining pipes one by one, or reprocess the batch of pipes (that is, for a batch of casings, 6 pipes Five of the test tubes must comply with Section 7.8 and Table C.6 or E.6 to qualify the batch of casing).
10.6.18 Reinspection—–Grade Q125—–Couplings, pup joints and accessories
When couplings, pup joints or accessories are heat treated with coupling semi-finished products or single pipes, if the hardness change specified in Section 7.8 exceeds the value specified in Table C.6 or E.6, it is at the option of the manufacturer and may be selected from the batch. Another 3 pieces of the products are taken for full wall thickness hardness re-examination. If any of the 3 re-inspected products does not meet the maximum hardness change value, the batch of products should be scrapped.
