This Standard covers the manufacturing of factory-made induction bends, primarily intended for use in oil or gas pipeline systems. Note: Bends made by cold bending are covered in CSA Z245.17.
This Standard covers induction bends having specified outside diameters (ODs) between 60.3 and 1524 mm (NPS 2 to NPS 60). Note: Standard ODs are provided in CSA Z245.1, Table B.1.
For other than sour service, this Standard covers bends from Grade 241 to Grade 690. For sour service, this Standard covers bends from Grade 241 to Grade 483.
Note:
This Standard covers induction bends in the following categories
Note: An induction bend cannot be classified as Category II if it has not been notch-toughness tested
In this Standard, "shall" is used to express a requirement, i.e., a provision that the user is obliged to satisfy in order to comply with the Standard; "should" is used to express a recommendation or that which is advised but not required; and "may" is used to express an option or that which is permissible within the limits of the Standard. Notes accompanying clauses do not include requirements or alternative requirements; the purpose of a note accompanying a clause is to separate from the text explanatory or informative material. Notes to tables and figures are considered part of the table or figure and may be written as requirements. Annexes are designated normative (mandatory) or informative (non-mandatory) to define their application.
