Indian Standard
SPECIFICATION FOR
LANCING PIPES

0. FOREWORD
0.1 This Indian Standard was adopted by the Indian Standards
Institution on 30 November 1982, after the draft finalized by the Steel -
Tubes, Pipes and Fittings Sectional Committee had been approved by
the Structural and Metals Division Council.

0.2 This Indian Standard has been prepared to meet the requirements of
lancing pipes used by steel industry.
0.3 Requirements for ceramic and other special coatings to enhance the
life of the pipes will be added in due course after collecting the necessary
data.
0.4 This standard contains clauses 2.4, 11.1 and 12.1 which call for
agreement between the purchaser and the manufacturer.
0.5 For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of
this standard is complied with, the final value, observed or calculated,
expressing the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off in accor-
dance with IS : 2-1960. The number of significant places retained in the
rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified value in
this standard.

1. SCOPE
1.1 This standard covers the requirements of butt-welded, screwed and
socketed and plain end mild steel pipes intended for use on oxygen
lancing.

2. TERMINOLOGY
2.0 For the purpose of this standard, the following definitions shall
apply.
2.1 Black Pipe - Pipe as manufactured, but without any subsequent
surface treatment.

*Rules for rounding off numerical values ( revised ).


3
IS: 10577- 1982

2.2 Length of Screwed and Socketed Pipe - The length of the pipe
inclusive of the socket.
NOTE 1 - The length of the pipe inclusive of the socket means the pipe length
measured with socket fitted at one end to handling-tight.
NOTE 2 - Handling-tight means that the socket is so tight fitted that it should not
fall down during handling or transit.

2.3 Nominal Bore - A size reference denoting the approximate bore


of the pipe. For each size of pipe, the outside diameter is fixed by the
corresponding screw thread dimensions of IS : 554-1975* and therefore,
the actual bore of each size of pipe will vary according to the thickness.

2.4 Random Length - Normal manufacturing lengths which may


vary over a range of several metres. Alternatively, a length range
agreed to between the purchaser and the manufacturer.

2.5 Socket - The screwed coupling utilized in jointing the pipes


together.
NOTE - The term socket is synonymous with the term coupler.

2.6 Pipe ( Tube ) - A long, hollow, open-ended object of circular or


other cross-section. The term pipe is synonymous with the term tube.

3. DESIGNATION
3.1 Mild steel pipes covered by this standard shall be designated by
their nominal bore, and shall be further classified as light, medium
and heavy depending on the wall thickness.

3.2 Mild steel socket shall be designated by the respective nominal bore
of the pipe for which it is intended.

4. SUPPLY OF MATERIAL

4-l General requirements relating to the supply of mild steel pipes and
sockets shall conform to IS : 1387-1967t.
4.2 Lancing pipes shall be supplied with any of the following combina-
