Mr. K. Babu:
API 5L ,ed. 44, does not request longitudinal CVN test, because due to rolling process for plate production for seam weld pipe or seamless pipe, the grain orientation of the microstructure has the lowest fracture toughness values transverse to pipe axis. Therefore, CVN spicemens must be taken transverse to the pipe axis based on the fact that this is the most unfavorable spicemen orientation to obtain the minimum requested absorbed energy values
On the other hand, X85 grade is an intermediate grade agreed for production between purchaser and manufacture
According to table 8 of API 5L, for body full size absorb energy the values for X85 grade can be interpolated according to values for grades X80 and X90 which is 30 ft-lb for pipe diameters from 20 to 36 inches and for test temp of 0°C (32°F), or lower temperature if agreed.
For CVN test for seam weld and H.A.Z., according to 9.8.3, the absorb energy value is also 30 ft-lb at 0°C (32°F), or lower temperature if agreed.

There is an intermediate grade called API 5L X85 , it is commonly used in offshore industries.Might be added in next edition of API 5L Spec.----- Original Message -----Sent: Wednesday, April 28, 2010 4:17 PMSubject: RE: [MW:4973] API 5L X85 -CVN RequirementsI heard that 44th edition of API 5L has 3 new grades X90, X100 and X120.what is X85? CVN is mandatory for all PSL2 pipes, refer para 6.2.5.2

Gents,Pls tell me, what is the CVN (Longitudinal) Requirements for the API 5L X85 (19 mm thick) ?Thanks & Regards,K.Babu
