Designation:A984/A984M03(Reapproved 2009)Standard Specification forSteel Line Pipe,Black,Plain-End,Electric-Resistance-Welded1This standard is issued under the fixed designation A984/A984M;the number immediately following the designation indicates the yearof original adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.A superscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This specification covers electric-resistance-welded,black,plain-end,steel pipe for use in the conveyance of fluidsunder pressure.Pipe in sizes NPS 1 to 26,inclusive,withnominal wall thickness 0.750 in.19.1 mm or less,as given inASME B36.10M is included.Pipe having other dimensions,inthis size range,may be furnished provided such pipe complieswith all other requirements of this specification.1.2 It is intended that the pipe be capable of being circum-ferentially welded in the field when welding procedures inaccordance with the requirements of the applicable pipelineconstruction code are used.1.3 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded separately as standard.The values stated ineach system may not be exact equivalents;therefore,eachsystem shall be used independently of the other.Combiningvalues from the two systems may result in non-conformancewith the standard.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2A370 Test Methods and Definitions for Mechanical Testingof Steel ProductsA450/A450M Specification for General Requirements forCarbon and Low Alloy Steel TubesA530/A530M Specification for General Requirements forSpecialized Carbon and Alloy Steel PipeA751 Test Methods,Practices,and Terminology for Chemi-cal Analysis of Steel ProductsA941 Terminology Relating to Steel,Stainless Steel,RelatedAlloys,and Ferroalloys2.2 API Standard:API RP 5L3 Recommended Practice for Conducting Drop-Weight Tear Tests on Line Pipe32.3 ASME Standard:ASME B36.10M Welded and Seamless Wrought Steel Pipe43.Terminology3.1 DefinitionsFor terminology used in this specification,refer to Terminology A941.3.2 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:3.2.1 electric-resistance welding,nelectric-resistancewelding is a process of forming a longitudinal seam whereinthe edges are pressed together mechanically after the heat forwelding has been generated by the resistance to the flow ofelectric current.3.2.2 lot,na quantity of pipe of the same ordereddiameter,heat,wall thickness,and grade,as given in Table 1.3.2.3 specified outside diameter(OD),nthe outside diam-eter specified in the purchase order or the outside diameterlisted inASME B36.10M for the nominal pipe size specified inthe purchase order.4.General Requirements4.1 Pipe furnished under this specification shall conform tothe applicable requirements of Specification A530/A530Munless otherwise provided herein.5.Ordering Information5.1 It is the purchasers responsibility to specify in thepurchase order all information necessary to purchase theneeded material.Examples of such information include,but arenot limited to,the following:5.1.1 Specification designation and year of issue,5.1.2 Quantity(feet or metres),5.1.3 Grade(standard or intermediate,see Table 2 and8.1.6),1This specification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee A01 on Steel,Stainless Steel and Related Alloys and is the direct responsibility of SubcommitteeA01.09 on Carbon Steel Tubular Products.Current edition approved April 1,2009.Published September 2009.Originallyapproved in 1998.Last previous edition approved in 2003 as A984/A984M 03.DOI:10.1520/A0984_A0984M-03R09.2For referenced ASTM standards,visit the ASTM website,www.astm.org,orcontact ASTM Customer Service at serviceastm.org.For Annual Book of ASTMStandards volume information,refer to the standards Document Summary page onthe ASTM website.3Available from The American Petroleum Institute(API),1220 L.St.,NW,Washington,DC 20005.4Available from American Society of Mechanical Engineers(ASME),ASMEInternational Headquarters,Three Park Ave.,New York,NY 10016-5990.Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United StatesNOTICE:This standard has either been superseded and replaced by a new version or withdrawn.Contact ASTM International(www.astm.org)for the latest information1 5.1.4 Size(either nominal(NPS)or outside diameter andwall thickness),5.1.5 Length(see 12.4),5.1.6 End finish(plain-end beveled or special,see 13.1),5.1.7 End use of the pipe,5.1.8 Special requirements,5.1.9 Supplementary requirements,and5.1.10 Bar coding(see 16.3).6.Manufacture6.1 Pipe shall be manufactured by the electric-resistance-welding process.The entire pipe shall be normalized or theweld seam and its heat-affected zones shall receive a continu-ous in-line heat treatment above the Ac3temperature.Com-plete penetration and coverage of the weld seam and itsheat-affected zones by such heat treatment shall be confirmedby metallo
