Material identity for the pipe supplied
Material records identify the supplied A795 type, grade and pipe group, with the required chemistry and mechanical results for that material.
Pipe-body examination
A795 provides for hydrostatic testing or, with purchaser acceptance, nondestructive electrical examination. The order identifies the applicable route and its record coverage. A manufacturing test pressure is not used as the installed working-pressure rating for a pipe-and-joint system.
Wall and prepared-end checks
Inspection checks the OD, wall, finished length and prepared ends. Grooves follow the selected coupling system; threads follow the specified mating fitting.
Review points before dispatch
Customer and third-party inspections are arranged before production. The agreed plan identifies the records, material groups and release points needed before loading.
