SUPPLEMENTARY REQUIREMENTS (NORMATIVE)
SR4 NON DESTRUCTIVE INSPECTION OF SEAMLESS LINE PIPE
SR 4.1 SUPPLEMENTARY NON-DESTRUCTIVE INSPECTION
Replace the first sentence by:
Seamless pipe shall be inspected full length for longitudinal and transverse defects by ultrasonic
method.
SR 4.3 ULTRASONIC INSPECTION
SR 4.3.1 Equipment
Add to the existing clause:
(a) Ultrasonic Equipment
The automatic ultrasonic equipment shall incorporate:
1. A device which monitors the effectiveness of the coupling.
In the case where a zero degrees compression wave probe is used to monitor coupling, or
where a through transmission technique is used for examination, loss of coupling exists
when the sensitivity (echo height) decreases by more than 10 dB relative to the static
calibration.
A clear acoustic warning system and an automatic paint spray system (or equivalent)
shall be activated when loss of coupling occurs.
2. An automatic paint-spraying device, or equivalent system, which is activated when the
received ultrasonic echo exceeds the preset acceptance limit. This alarm shall operate
without any interference of the ultrasonic operator and shall be applied within 1 inch
advancement past the detected defect.
3. An automatic weld tracking system for correct positioning of the crystals/probes with
respect to the weld centre of all welded pipe.
Entrance angles of shear wave probes shall be as follows:
Lamination testing may be performed in pulse echo or transmission mode; wall thickness only
in pulse echo mode.
The transducer arrangement shall be such that the sound intensity in both the longitudinal and
circumferential directions does not decrease by more than 3 dB at any point in the pipe wall,
referred to the maximum sound intensity adjusted in the static calibration.
The equipment shall be checked with an applicable reference standard at least every four hours
and at the beginning and end of a batch in order to demonstrate the effectiveness of the
inspection procedures and show that the equipment is functioning correctly.
In case discrepancies of more than 3 dB occur, then all pipes inspected since the previous check
shall be re-inspected. Proper functioning of all UT equipment shall be checked at least once
every six months or if a change is made to the equipment.
From each pipe under test, an automatic "on-line" record shall be made without operator
intervention. For every pipe, a summary record shall be made showing pipe identification
number, time and examination results, including re-examinations.
If parts of the ultimate pipe ends are not covered by an automatic UT system (untested area),
manual ultrasonic examination shall be carried out using approved procedures for manual
ultrasonic examination based on the requirements given above.
The complete circumference of seamless pipe ends or rotary tested HFW pipe ends, shall be
tested manually over the length of the untested area plus 25 mm overlap of the automatically
tested area.
(b) Electromagnetic Equipment
If permitted by COMPANY, EMT methods such as eddy current testing or magnetic flux
leakage testing may be applied for surface defect detection in seamless pipe.

028120-SPL-003 Rev D

 CNOOC SOUTH EAST SUMATRA BV
SOUTH EAST SUMATRA (SES) GAS PROJECT
FRONT END ENGINEERING DESIGN

EMT shall be performed in accordance with ASTM E 309 or ASTM E 570. Testing shall be
performed by automatic equipment over the entire surface of the pipe.
If parts of the ultimate pipe ends are not covered by an automatic EMT system, then manual
ultrasonic examination shall be carried out using approved procedures for manual ultrasonic
examination based on the requirements given above.
SR 4.3.2 Reference Standards
Replace “At least.... product” appearing 1st to 7th line by:
The reference (calibration) standard shall have the same specified diameter and thickness as the
product being inspected and shall be of sufficient length to permit calibration of ultrasonic
inspection equipment at the speed to be used in normal production. The reference standard shall
also be of the same material type and have the same surface finish and heat treatment as the
product being inspected. It shall be free from discontinuities or other conditions producing
indications that may interfere with detection of the reference reflectors. The reference standard
shall contain notches (N5 or N10) or radially drilled holes (0.125 inch) and/or flat bottomed
holes.
Manufacturer may use a type of reference reflector not specified above, provided he can
demonstrate to COMPANY that the examination is at least as sensitive as prescribed in this
Specification. In such cases, Manufacturer shall obtain approval from COMPANY.
For all reference reflectors except for RDH 0.125”, the acceptance limit signal shall be equal to
the primary reference sensitivity level, i.e. equal to the height of the signal produced by the
reference reflector. For the RDH 0.125” reference reflector, the acceptance limit signal shall be
10 dB below the primary reference sensitivity level.
All sensitivity adjustments shall be carried out dynamically.
Flat bottomed holes for lamination detection shall be drilled to the mid-wall position.
The calibration shall be performed at following intervals:
i) At the beginning of each normal inspection shift.
ii) At least once during each inspection shift.
iii) Every time the running of the systems gives raise to doubt on its efficiency.
If during the above calibration verification, it is found that the equipment has not functioned
satisfactorily in the opinion of COMPANY’s Representative, all the pipes already inspected after
the previous verification shall be inspected again at Manufacturer's cost.
In case of continuous occurrence of signals outside the acceptance limits in areas, where upon
subsequent investigation, no defects are detected, further investigations using other methods shall
be executed to establish the cause of these erratic signals.
SR5 FRACTURE TOUGHNESS TESTING
SR5.1 Delete this section and replace with the following:
The fracture toughness of the pipes shall be determined by Charpy V-notch impact testing in

COMPANY shall specify if, and to what extent, he will monitor Manufacturer's production,
quality control and inspection.
Sufficient fluorescent lighting both overhead and at pipe ends shall be provided at the inspection

In the event that defective pipes are detected during investigation by COMPANY’s
Representative. The Manufacturer and COMPANY shall mutually agree on additional inspection
requirements. In such a case, the cost of additional inspection shall be borne by the Manufacturer.
Under no circumstances shall any action or omission on part of COMPANY’s Representative
relieve Manufacturer of his responsibility for compliance with the Specification and the quality of
finished pipes.

If COMPANY’s Representative rejects pipes repeatedly for any recurring cause, this shall be
adequate reason to refuse final inspection of subsequent pipes until the cause has been
