Foreword

This Standard applies non-equivalently Japanese Industrial Standard JIS G3448-1997  Stainless Steel
Pipes for Common Piping and makes revisions to GB/T 12771-1991  Welded Stainless Steel Pipes for
Liquid Delivery.

Compared with JIS G3448 -1997 standard, this Standard has differences in the respects of the applicable
scope, Grade No., the deviation of sizes, hydrostatic pressure test, delivery state, etc.

The following main technical contents have been revised in this revision of the standard:

 Adjustment has been made to the series of sizes. Some sizes commonly used by the clients have been
added and the sizes that have not been manufactured and ordered for a long time, have been cancelled,
while a part of wall thickness range have been extended.

 More strict requirements have been imposed on the hydrostatic test pressures and quantitative indexes
for grouping batches.

 Selective Grade Nos. and specially required inspection and testing items are added.

 Supplement and modifications have been made to surface quality and the indexes for the flattening test
in an as-welded state.

Both Appendix A and Appendix B to this standard are the appendices of this Standard.

This Standard supersedes GB/T 12771-1991 as from the enforcement date.

This Standard is proposed by the National Bureau of Metallurgical Industry.

This Standard is centrally stewarded by the National Steel Standardization Technical Committee.

This Standard is drafted and written under the responsibilities of Taiyuan Steel & Iron (Group) Corporation.

This Standard is mainly written by Yu Yuan, Tian Xiaoqin, Gao Zongren, Niu Chenmei and Li Tianbao.

The initial issue of this Standard was published in 1991.

Flattening Test of Big Diameter Stainless Steel Welted Pipes

B1. Preparations of specimens

B1.1 One piece of steel pipes shall be taken at random, from a batch of stainless steel pipes to be inspected
to cut a length of 100mm with a chord height (h) being 1/4 of the outside diameter, at one end, in the
direction of the weld, as a specimen. The weld shall be located in the middle of the specimen as shown in

Welds

Fig. B1. Preparations of specimens

B1.2 When cutting the specimen, care shall be taken to prevent damages to the surface of the spacemen and
changing the metal properties by heating or cold working. The edges at cut shall be free of burs.

B2. Testing Procedure:

B2.1 During testing, the specimen shall be placed horizontally between two plates in parallel and a press or
any other means shall be used to flatten the specimen evenly.

B2.2 If the testing temperature is not specified in the contract, the test shall be performed at the ambient
temperature.

B2.3 When there is a dispute, the pressing down rate shall be 20 ~ 50mm/min for the test.
