| Outside Diameter | Pipe size NPS 2 or larger , the outside diameter shall not vary more than +/-1% from the specified outside diameter. |
| Thickness | The min wall thickness at any point shall be not more than 12.5% under the specified wall thickness |
| Weight | The weight of the pipe shall not more than +/-10% of the specified weight. |

| Hydrostatic testing | 100% of pipe shall be tested. Pipe must be able to survive a hydrostatic test without leaking through the weld seam or the pipe body |
| NDT | Weld seam of each pipe shall be tested by online Eddy Current test |
| Flattening Test(0 & 90 deg) | Stage - 1:For ductility of weld, no cracks or breaks on the inside or outside surface at the weld, flatten up to 2/3 of outside dia of pipe. Stage - 2 For ductility of steel, no cracks or breaks on the inside or outside surface away from the weld, flatten upto 1/3 of outside dia of pipe. Stage - 3 For soundness, full flattening for testing of laminated and unsound material. |
