ASTM A53 WATER STEEL PIPE DESTRUCTIVE & NON-DESTRUCTIVE TESTING:
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.
