Besides indicated by the participants, check API 5L Parr. 9.12, 9.13 and 9.14

API 5L is a standard for Line Pipe Specifications, i.e deals with the pipes at stage of procurement from mill such as specifying the materials, general specification, method of production, tests and examination, tolerances in thickness and diameter, acceptance criteria, ... etc. All of that for pipes going out of mill before going to the workshop for prefabrication or to site for fabrication and assembly.

At API 5L edition 2004, the titles derived as at your post are found: 9.12 RETESTS, 9.13 REPROCESSING & and Para. 9.14 is not found in the code.

Good morning Mr Abdel. My reference is to API 5L October 2007. In the mencioned points you can find all the requiered dimensions used in pipe fabrication. The Guest ask for:"what are the commonly accepted deviations in alignment, final length, the original lengths of the pipe pieces, etc.?". Then API 5L could be help.

Thank you all!
