ASTM A312 SS Pipe Finishing include Polishing, Cuttings, Beveling, Threading, Pipe Honing & Turning, Heat treating & Annealing, and Positive Material Identification (PMI) Testing.
ASTM A312 SS Pipe Finishing and Testing
| Polishing | Manufacturers can polish any stainless steel pipe item to a #4 polish, #6 Polish, #7 polish or a #8 mirror finish. |
| Cuttings | Stainless steel pipes can be produced in standard lengths or cut to size (standard lengths are 20′ and 40′ depending on the nominal pipe size). |
| Beveling | Manufacturers can bevel the edges of stainless steel pipes to prepare them for welding. |
| Threading | Stainless steel pipes can be supplied, besides plain and beveled ends, also with threaded ends (generally for NPS below 2 inches) |
| Pipe Honing & Turning | Manufacturers can hone SS pipe and tube, using precision abrasion tools and obtain any desired finish or dimensional tolerance. |
| Heat treating & Annealing | Most stainless steel pipes grades can be heat treated to modify their mechanical properties. |
| Positive Material Identification (PMI) | Manufacturers can perform PMI testing to ascertain the actual content of Nickel, Chrome, and Moly in the pipe. |
| UT Testing | In some cases, UT testing of the stainless steel plates may be required. |
