Note:Treatment of Weld Seams in EW and LW Pipe
PSL 1 EW Pipe
For Grade L290 or X42, the weld seam shall be heat treated so as to simulate a normalizing heat treatment, or the pipe shall be processed in such a manner that no untempered martensite remains.
LW Pipe and PSL 2 HFW Pipe
For API 5L X42(L290) not subjected to quench and temper processing, the weld seam and the entire HAZ shall be heat treated so as to simulate a normalizing heat treatment.
