Introduction

ISO 9330-5 specifies technical delivery conditions for submerged arc-welded steel tubes intended for pressure applications where specified low-temperature properties are required.

The standard covers circular tubes manufactured from unalloyed and alloyed steels, with requirements for chemical composition, mechanical properties, impact toughness, heat treatment, dimensions and inspection.

For commercial supply, Ladhani Metal Corporation offers ISO 9330-5 welded steel tubes in the required grades, dimensions, lengths and delivery conditions.

Grade/thickness dependent

Grade/thickness dependent

  • N = Normalizing
  • Q + T = Quenching and Tempering
  • Mechanical requirements can vary with wall thickness and the applicable grade condition.

Low Temperature Impact Properties

Low-temperature impact toughness is an important requirement of ISO 9330-5.

  • Charpy V-notch impact testing is specified.
  • Testing is carried out at temperatures appropriate to the individual grade.
  • Longitudinal impact specimens are used where specified.
  • Transverse testing may be applicable according to the standard and order requirements.
  • Minimum impact-energy requirements depend on grade and test temperature.
  • Nickel-alloyed grades are intended for particularly demanding low-temperature service.

The exact impact temperature and energy requirements should be confirmed against the ordered grade, dimensions and test orientation.


Manufacturing Process

ISO 9330-5 tubes are manufactured by submerged arc welding.

Typical manufacturing steps include:

  • Steelmaking with controlled chemical composition.
  • Production of flat-rolled steel feedstock.
  • Forming of the flat product into tubular shape.
  • Submerged arc welding.
  • Internal and external welding runs.
  • Heat treatment over the full tube length.
  • Sizing and finishing.
  • Mechanical and non-destructive testing.
  • Cutting to specified lengths.
  • Final inspection.

The standard requires the steels to be fully killed. Tubes may be longitudinally or helically welded, and the submerged arc process requires at least one internal and one external welding run.


Manufacturing Conditions

Depending on the ordered grade and requirements, tubes may be supplied as:

  • Submerged arc-welded tubes.
  • Longitudinally welded tubes.
  • Helically welded tubes.
  • Hot-finished tubes.
  • Cold-finished tubes.
  • Normalized tubes.
  • Normalized and tempered tubes.
  • Quenched and tempered tubes.

The tubes are supplied heat-treated over their full length according to the applicable grade requirements.


Heat Treatment

ISO 9330-5 specifies heat-treatment conditions according to the type of steel.

Typical conditions include:

  • Normalizing (N).
  • Normalizing and tempering.
  • Quenching and tempering (Q + T).

Examples of specified conditions include normalizing for PL 21, PL 23 and PL 26, while PL 25 is supplied in the quenched-and-tempered condition.


Dimensions and Tolerances

The standard provides requirements for tube dimensions, masses and tolerances.

  • Tube dimensions are related to the applicable dimensional standards.
  • Outside diameter and wall thickness are controlled according to the specified tolerances.
  • Length requirements are agreed according to the order.
  • Tubes can be supplied in standard or specified lengths.
  • Dimensional inspection is carried out as part of final product verification.

ISO 9330-5 references ISO 4200 for applicable tube dimensions and includes specific dimensional, mass and tolerance requirements in its technical delivery conditions.


Surface Condition

The tubes are supplied with suitable internal and external surface conditions.

  • Surfaces should permit effective visual and dimensional inspection.
  • Surface imperfections are controlled so that the required wall thickness remains within specification.
  • Defects may be removed by suitable dressing where permitted.
  • The finished surface must remain compliant after any permitted dressing operation.
  • Weld seams are subject to applicable inspection requirements.
