Dear Sir,

I have recevied a pipe of 24" sch 60, Thk 24.61mm, which is corroded / pitting inside the pipe whole length. I have checked with the cam guage found about 1.5 to 2.5mm, which code shall i check to find the allowance / tolerance of corrosion.

thanks and regards

maybe you should look at B31G

Independent events are seldomly independent.
 
Jacob,
Not enough info.
What is the material ?
What specification was it manufactured to ?
What is the fabrication code you are intending to use it on ?
Cheers,
Kiwi
 
If it is from a Supplier then send it back - Rejected!!!!
 
Sounds like whomever you got your pipe from has a extrusion press. Pitting can come from improper heating or not enough pressure when extruding the billet.
 
Dear Kiwi,
PIPE A333-6 SEAMLESS ASME, B36.10M/B36.19M BE SCH60, 24", Service - STEAM, BFW & CONDENSATE, Class - 600, Fabrication code - B31.3.
here i am asked to check for the reduction in thickness greater tha 12.5%, I doubt in such case how can i go for in such case, if its in a small portion or not scattered.
thanks
