Hi Carlos Quintini
It is obvious that, the longi specimen CVN values is more than the transverse specimen CVN values.
Since if we need to follow ABS Modu code, which calls the CVN test at Weld metal, Fusion Line, 2 mm, 5 mm ;
If i take transverse CVN samples for PQR, will be require more set of pipes to do the CVN tests.
From my point of View, it is immaterial, whether we taking Longi or transverse specimen, weldment should satisfy the requirement.
Rgds,
K.Babu

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 valuesOn the other hand, X85 grade is an intermediate grade agreed for production between purchaser and manufactureAccording 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.Carlos QuintiniQuintini Consultores C.A.Venezuela2010/4/28 Kathalingam Babu <kathalingam.qaqc@ppl.com.sg>
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
