This standard was proposed and prepared by SAC/TC 355 (National Technical Committee 355 on Petroleum and Natural Gas of Standardization Administration of China).
The previous editions of this standard are as follows:
— GB 9711-1988, GB/T 9711-2011;
— GB/T 9711.1-1996;
— GB/T 9711.2-1999;
— GB/T 9711.3-2005.
Introduction
This standard is the result of harmonizing the requirements of the following standards:
— ISO 3183:2012; third edition (published 1 November 2012).
— API Spec 5L; 45th edition (published December 2012; implemented 1 July 2013).
This standard has maintained the concept of two basic levels of standard technical requirements for line pipe expressed as two product specification levels (PSL 1 and PSL 2). Level PSL 1 provides a standard quality level for line pipe. Level PSL 2 has additional mandatory requirements for chemical composition, notch toughness and strength properties and additional non-destructive testing (NDT). Requirements that apply only to PSL 1 or only to PSL 2 are so designated. Requirements that are not designated to a specific PSL designation apply to both PSL 1 and PSL 2 pipe.
This standard also recognized that the petroleum and natural gas industry often specifies additional requirements for particular applications. In order to accommodate such needs, optional additional requirements for special applications are available, as follows:
— PSL 2 pipe ordered with a qualified manufacturing procedure (Annex B);
— PSL 2 pipe ordered with resistance to ductile fracture propagation in gas pipelines (Annex G);
— PSL 2 pipe ordered for sour service (Annex H);
— pipe ordered as “Through the Flowline” (TFL) pipe (Annex I);
— PSL 2 pipe ordered for offshore service (Annex J);
The requirements of the annex(es) apply only when specified on the purchase order. When pipe is ordered for dual or multiple applications, the requirements of more than one annex for special applications can be invoked. In such instances, if a technical conflict arises due to applying the requirements of more than one annex for special applications, the most stringent requirement applicable to the intended service applies.
This standard does not provide guidance on when it is necessary to specify the above supplementary requirements. Instead, it is the responsibility of the purchaser to specify, based upon the intended use and design requirements, which, if any, of the supplementary requirements apply for a particular purchase order.
This standard is the result of a continuing process of harmonizing documents of different heritage. It has been necessary to give consideration to traditional symbols (denoting mechanical or physical properties or their values, dimensions or test parameters) and the format of equations that have been widely used and which (in their traditional format) maintain strong links with other widely used standards and specifications, and with the original scientific work that led to their derivation. Accordingly, some symbols and equations (most specifically those in 9.2 and Table F.1) have been retained in their traditional form to avoid causing confusion in this post-harmonization stage. Where changes have been made, care has been taken to ensure that the new symbol replacing the traditional one has been fully and clearly defined.
Petroleum and Natural Gas Industries — Steel Pipe for Pipeline Transportation Systems
1 Scope
This standard specifies requirements for the manufacture of two product specification levels (PSL 1 and PSL 2) of seamless and welded steel pipes for use in pipeline transportation systems in the petroleum and natural gas industries.
This standard is applicable to the manufacturing, inspection, marking, coating, recording and loading of seamless pipe and welded pipe for pipeline transportation systems of petroleum and natural gas industries.
This standard is not applicable to cast pipe.
2 Conformance
2.1 Manufacturing
In this standard, data are expressed in both International System (SI) units and United States Customary (USC) units. For a specific order item, only one system of units shall be used, without combining data expressed in the other system. Data values expressed in SI and USC units shall not be combined on the same inspection document or in the same required pipe marking sequence.
Where product is tested and verified against requirements using one measurement system (USC or SI), and an inspection document is issued, with data reported in the alternate measurement system units, a statement shall appear on the inspection document indicating that the data presented was converted from the measurement system used for the original inspection.
The purchaser shall specify whether data, drawings, and maintenance dimensions of pipes shall be in the International System (SI) or US Customary (USC) system of measurements. Use of an SI data sheet indicates that the SI measurements shall be used. Use of a USC data sheet indicates that the USC system of measurements shall be used.
2.2 Rounding
Unless otherwise stated in this standard, to determine conformance with the specified requirements, observed or calculated values shall be rounded to the nearest unit in the last right-hand place of figures used in expressing the limiting value, in accordance with ISO 80000-1:2009, Annex B, Rule A.
Note: For the purposes of this provision, the rounding method of ASTM E29-08 [1] is equivalent to ISO 80000-1:2009, Annex B, Rule A.
2.3 Compliance to This Standard
A documented quality system shall be applied to assist compliance with the requirements of this standard.
Note: Documentation of a quality system does not require certification by a third party certification body. Only the creation or adoption of a written quality system is necessary to meet the requirement of this standard. ISO defers to the expertise of responsible quality management personnel to create or adopt the system which best reflects the need of each company. There are many existing quality management systems to which personnel can refer for guidance in the development of an appropriate quality system, including ISO/TS 29001[2] and API Q1[3], which contain provisions specific to the oil and gas industry, or ISO 9001[4], which contains general requirements for quality management systems that are auditable. This list is not exhaustive and is provided for information only.
A contract may specify that the manufacturer shall be responsible for complying with all of the applicable requirements of this standard. It shall be permissible for the purchaser to make any investigation necessary in order to be assured of compliance by the manufacturer and to reject any material that does not comply.

This standard was proposed and prepared by SAC/TC 355 (National Technical Committee 355 on Petroleum and Natural Gas of Standardization Administration of China).
The previous editions of this standard are as follows:
— GB 9711-1988, GB/T 9711-2011;
— GB/T 9711.1-1996;
— GB/T 9711.2-1999;
— GB/T 9711.3-2005.
Introduction
This standard is the result of harmonizing the requirements of the following standards:
— ISO 3183:2012; third edition (published 1 November 2012).
— API Spec 5L; 45th edition (published December 2012; implemented 1 July 2013).
This standard has maintained the concept of two basic levels of standard technical requirements for line pipe expressed as two product specification levels (PSL 1 and PSL 2). Level PSL 1 provides a standard quality level for line pipe. Level PSL 2 has additional mandatory requirements for chemical composition, notch toughness and strength properties and additional non-destructive testing (NDT). Requirements that apply only to PSL 1 or only to PSL 2 are so designated. Requirements that are not designated to a specific PSL designation apply to both PSL 1 and PSL 2 pipe.
This standard also recognized that the petroleum and natural gas industry often specifies additional requirements for particular applications. In order to accommodate such needs, optional additional requirements for special applications are available, as follows:
— PSL 2 pipe ordered with a qualified manufacturing procedure (Annex B);
— PSL 2 pipe ordered with resistance to ductile fracture propagation in gas pipelines (Annex G);
— PSL 2 pipe ordered for sour service (Annex H);
— pipe ordered as “Through the Flowline” (TFL) pipe (Annex I);
— PSL 2 pipe ordered for offshore service (Annex J);
The requirements of the annex(es) apply only when specified on the purchase order. When pipe is ordered for dual or multiple applications, the requirements of more than one annex for special applications can be invoked. In such instances, if a technical conflict arises due to applying the requirements of more than one annex for special applications, the most stringent requirement applicable to the intended service applies.
This standard does not provide guidance on when it is necessary to specify the above supplementary requirements. Instead, it is the responsibility of the purchaser to specify, based upon the intended use and design requirements, which, if any, of the supplementary requirements apply for a particular purchase order.
This standard is the result of a continuing process of harmonizing documents of different heritage. It has been necessary to give consideration to traditional symbols (denoting mechanical or physical properties or their values, dimensions or test parameters) and the format of equations that have been widely used and which (in their traditional format) maintain strong links with other widely used standards and specifications, and with the original scientific work that led to their derivation. Accordingly, some symbols and equations (most specifically those in 9.2 and Table F.1) have been retained in their traditional form to avoid causing confusion in this post-harmonization stage. Where changes have been made, care has been taken to ensure that the new symbol replacing the traditional one has been fully and clearly defined.
Petroleum and Natural Gas Industries — Steel Pipe for Pipeline Transportation Systems
1 Scope
This standard specifies requirements for the manufacture of two product specification levels (PSL 1 and PSL 2) of seamless and welded steel pipes for use in pipeline transportation systems in the petroleum and natural gas industries.
This standard is applicable to the manufacturing, inspection, marking, coating, recording and loading of seamless pipe and welded pipe for pipeline transportation systems of petroleum and natural gas industries.
This standard is not applicable to cast pipe.
2 Conformance
2.1 Manufacturing
In this standard, data are expressed in both International System (SI) units and United States Customary (USC) units. For a specific order item, only one system of units shall be used, without combining data expressed in the other system. Data values expressed in SI and USC units shall not be combined on the same inspection document or in the same required pipe marking sequence.
Where product is tested and verified against requirements using one measurement system (USC or SI), and an inspection document is issued, with data reported in the alternate measurement system units, a statement shall appear on the inspection document indicating that the data presented was converted from the measurement system used for the original inspection.
The purchaser shall specify whether data, drawings, and maintenance dimensions of pipes shall be in the International System (SI) or US Customary (USC) system of measurements. Use of an SI data sheet indicates that the SI measurements shall be used. Use of a USC data sheet indicates that the USC system of measurements shall be used.
2.2 Rounding
Unless otherwise stated in this standard, to determine conformance with the specified requirements, observed or calculated values shall be rounded to the nearest unit in the last right-hand place of figures used in expressing the limiting value, in accordance with ISO 80000-1:2009, Annex B, Rule A.
Note: For the purposes of this provision, the rounding method of ASTM E29-08 [1] is equivalent to ISO 80000-1:2009, Annex B, Rule A.
2.3 Compliance to This Standard
A documented quality system shall be applied to assist compliance with the requirements of this standard.
Note: Documentation of a quality system does not require certification by a third party certification body. Only the creation or adoption of a written quality system is necessary to meet the requirement of this standard. ISO defers to the expertise of responsible quality management personnel to create or adopt the system which best reflects the need of each company. There are many existing quality management systems to which personnel can refer for guidance in the development of an appropriate quality system, including ISO/TS 29001[2] and API Q1[3], which contain provisions specific to the oil and gas industry, or ISO 9001[4], which contains general requirements for quality management systems that are auditable. This list is not exhaustive and is provided for information only.
A contract may specify that the manufacturer shall be responsible for complying with all of the applicable requirements of this standard. It shall be permissible for the purchaser to make any investigation necessary in order to be assured of compliance by the manufacturer and to reject any material that does not comply.
