ADVISORY BULLETIN ADB-09-01

Pipeline Safety: Potential Low and Variable Yield and Tensile Strength and Chemical Yield and Tensile Strength and Chemical Composition Properties in High Strength Line PipePipe

PHMSA has identified an integrity issue with respect to microalloyed high grade line piperespect to microalloyed high grade line pipe.Tests that have been conducted have shown that some of the pipe material has yield strengths some of the pipe material has yield strengths, tensile strengths, and/ or chemical compositions that do not meet the requirements of the American Petroleum Institute, Specification for Line Pipe--5L, (API 5L), for PSL 2 and the specified pipe grade.

ADVISORY BULLETIN ADB-09-01

In some cases, the affected pipe may successfully pass strength testing methods contained in current pass strength testing methods contained in current specifications but may lead to a future pipeline integrity issue.integrity issue.The presence of low yield strength line pipe installed in a pipeline system may result in p p y yincreased susceptibility to excessive pipe expansion or rupture during the pre in-service field hydrostatic strength test.
