Can you specify the pipe spec and what it is used for ? Since you are referring to "line pipe" I presume its the pipe covered in spec API 5L. However I did find an abstract which goes" usually out of straightness of pipe usually follows a log normal distribution with diametre, and, as would be expected the larger the diametre of the pipe, the straighter is the pipe. API 5L allows 24mm in a 12m joint. usually it is possible to obtain pipe to 12mm in 12m. to reduce total cost over specification of straightness should be avoided".
also refer to API 5L for further details.
