4 Process of Manufacture
4.1 GENERAL
Drill pipe furnished to this specibcation shall be made bythe seamless process debned as follows:
a. Seamless pipe is a wrought steel tubular product madewithout a welded seam. It is manufactured by hot-workingsteel, or if necessary, by subsequently cold-bnishing the hot-worked tubular product to produce the desired shape, dimen-sions, and properties.
b.Cold drawn drill pipe, without appropriate heat treatment,is not acceptable.
4.2 HEAT TREATMENT
The heat treating process shall be performed in accordancewith a documented procedure.
a. Group 1NDrill pipe shall be normalized or at the manu-facturerOs option normalized and tempered, or quenched andtempered full length; and if upset, shall be so heat treatedafter upsetting.
b.Group 3NUnless otherwise agreed upon between pur-chaser and manufacturer, drill pipe furnished to this
specibcation shall be quenched and tempered, or normalizedand tempered. Upset drill pipe shall be heat treated full lengthafter upsetting.
4.3 PIPE MATERIAL
The various grades and groups of steel furnished to thisspecibcation shall be made to a bne grain practice. Steelmade to Pne grain practice contains one or more grain rebn-ing elements, such as aluminum, columbium, vanadium, ortitanium in amounts intended to result in the steel having abne austenitic grain size.
