Question:

RFI In response to Section 31 62 16.19 Steel Pipe Piles Section 2.1.7 Testing Requirements

Is Ultrasonic testing per ASTM A53 an acceptable method based on the information provided below?

1. AWS D1.1 sec 6 is a hand held ultrasonic test that is calibrated to an IIW Block standard. This process is performed after the pipe is produced and is substantially slower than the pile production. The information gained by ultrasonically testing after the production of the pipe is of very little value to the actual production of the pipe as it relates to the quality control of the weld. Due to the duration a 100% weld test would take, the AWS D1.1 ultrasonic test is designed for statistical weld analysis i.e. 5%, 10% or 25% of the welds. By testing using AWS D1.1 it will take longer than a day to inspect each pile due to the labor involved.

2. API 5L sec. E5 describes the equipment, sample standard, reference indicators and acceptance limits of the “real time” “inline” ultrasonic test. This test is designed to find indications (flaws) that would not be acceptable for the pipes end use as it relates to the transportation of petroleum products which is pressurized. This is an ultrasonic test that is routinely performed by API monogrammed certified production facilities and not by a structural pipe production facilities.

3. ASTM A53 sec. 9 describes the equipment, sample standard, reference indicators and acceptance limits of the “real time” “inline” ultrasonic test. The test is designed to find indications (flaws) that would not be acceptable for the pipes end use as it relates to the conveyance of liquids. This is an ultrasonic test that is routinely performed by structural steel pipe producers. ASTM A53 differs from API 5L in that the calibration sample is prepared by setting up for a 1/32 x 1/32 x 2” long flaw rather that the 1/16 or 1/8” pin hole flaw used to calibrate to the API 5L requirement. This broader calibration indication is a closer resemblance of the actual flaws encountered in DSAW spiral welds. Every indication found utilizing the

API 5L ultrasonic method would also be found utilizing the ASTM A53 ultrasonic method.

Ultrasonic Testing is conducted to detect flaws and determine their magnitude so that they can be repaired. Regardless of what in-line method is used for ultrasonic testing is performed; once a flaw is detected the magnitude of that flaw will be determined by the methods of AWS D1.1. Once the magnitude is determined the repair procedure for both inline testing procedures is exactly the same and in accordance with specifications.

In summary, the current spec limits the production of the piling to API monogrammed mills and a UT handheld method that cannot be integrated into the in-line / real time structural pipe manufacturing process which is not industry standard.

It is our belief that a comparable specification in line with ASTM A53 will find the indications required to assure a structural product that will perform as an ASTM A252 grade 50 pipe pile with the additional assurances listed above. It is also our belief that every indication found utilizing the API ultrasonic method would also be found utilizing the ASTM A53 ultrasonic method. Given this additional information, will the owner consider accepting inline ultrasonic testing in accordance to ASTM A53, section 9?
