Page 37 From API-1104-2016

This document shows the locations for test butt weld specimens for welder qualification testing. It specifies where to take specimens from pipes of various outer diameters, including from the top of the pipe, root or side bends, and locations for nick breaks and tensile tests. Notes indicate that locations may be rotated as long as they are equally spaced, and a single tensile specimen can be used for small diameter pipes.

NOTE 1 At the company’s option, the locations may be rotated, provided they are equally spaced around the pipe;
however, specimens do not include the longitudinal weld.

NOTE 2 One full-section tensile strength specimen may be used for pipe with an OD less than or equal to 1.315 in. (33.4 mm).
