Stainless steel pipes

Introduction The purpose for this revision is intended a conformity with the
unifying performance test method of t h e equipments for water supply service
established following the revision of standard of the structure and material of the
water supply facility based on Water Works Law.

1 Scope This Japanese Industrial Standard specifies the stainless steel pipes
(hereafter referred to as "pipes") used for the pipings for corrosion resistance, low
temperature service, high temperature service, etc.

Remarks: With previous agreement with the manufacturer, the purchaser may
designate a part or all of the special quality requirements of 22, 23,
24, 26 and 27 specified in Annex, i n addition to the items specified in
this text.
Annex 22: Elevated temperature yield point or proof stress
Annex 23: Ultrasonic examination
Annex 24: Eddy current examination
Annex 26: Corrosion test
Annex 27: Radiographic examination of weld zone

2 Normative references The standards given in Attached Table 3 contain

provisions which, through reference i n this Standard, constitute provisions of this
Standard. The most recent editions of the standards indicated below shall be
applied.

3 Grade and symbol Pipes shall be classified into 29 grades, and their symbols
shall be as given in Table 1.

Remarks 1 When a tensile test is carried out with No.12 o r No.5 test piece for pipes of
under 8 mm i n wall thickness, the minimum elongation shall be calculated by
subtracting 1.5 % from the elongation given i n Table 3 for each decrease of 1
mm from 8 mm in wall thickness, and rounded off to an integer in accordance
with JIS Z 8401. Examples of calculation are given in Informative reference
Table 1.

laser welded pipes, or electric resistance welded pipes, No.12 or No.5 test piece
shall be taken from the portion having no welded seams.

of the manufacturer.
The guide bend resistance of weld zone shall be subjected to the test of 13.4 and
the results shall conform to the following requirements:

a ) No cracks of 3 mm or over in length shall develop on the outside of the weld zone
(except for small cracks created on the edge o r corner).

a ) For hydraulic test characteristic, pipes shall withstand, without leakage, the
hydraulic pressure designated, if any, by the purchaser, or in absence of it the
hydraulic pressure specified in Attached Table 1. In this case, the purchaser
may specify a hydraulic pressure higher or lower than those in Attached Table 1.
In the case where the hydraulic t e s t is conducted by the specification of the
purchaser and the test pressure exceeds either of the value P calculated from the
following formula or 20 MPa, the test pressure shall be as agreed upon between
the purchaser and supplier. The specified hydraulic pressure shall be graduated
in 0.5 MPa for under 10 MPa and in 1 MPa for 10 MPa or over. In calculation,

nondestructive examination of the ultrasonic examination, eddy current examination,
or radiographic examination, and the resulted nondestructive examination
characteristic shall conform t o any one of the following respective requirements:
There shall be no signal equal to or greater than the signals produced by the
artificial flaws of the reference test piece of the working sensitivity division

8 Pressure resistance performance Pipes, when subjected to the test of 13.7,

shall withstand that and be free from leakage. The pressure resistance performance
is applied to pipes used as water supply facility based on Water Supply Law.

9 Water quality performance Pipes, when subjected t o the test of 13.8, shall
satisfy "standard of the structure and material of feed water system (No.14 ministerial
ordinance of Ministry of Health and Wealth, 19, March, 1997). The water quality
performance is applied to the pipe used as the feed water system based on Water
Supply Law.

10 Dimensions, mass and dimensional tolerances

10.1 Dimensions and mass The outside diameter, wall thickness and mass of the
pipe shall be as specified in Attached Table 2.

10.2 Dimensional tolerances The dimensional tolerances of the pipe shall be as

follows:

a) The tolerances on outside diameter, wall thickness, and eccentricity of pipes

shall be as specified in Table 4.
b) In the case where the pipe length is specified, the tolerances on pipe length shall
be applied on the plus side only.

outside diameter shall not be applied if i t is confirmed that the wall
thickness is within the tolerance range given in the above Table 4.

shall conform to the Attached Table 1-2 according
to the division of the ratio of the wall thickness to
the outside diameter of the pipe ( t l D ) . However, in
the case of the welded pipe, when the outside diameter
conform to Attached Table 2 and the thickness
comes in between the values in that table, adopt the
schedule number for the larger thickness and carry
out the test with the hydraulic test pressure specified
in Attached Table 1-1. On the other hand, where
the outside diameter does not meet the values in the
table, the hydraulic test pressure shall conform to
