PART I - INTRODUCTION
1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 FOREWORD
The present specification covers clad and lined pipes for onshore and offshore applications.
This specification is applicable to J-lay and S-lay offshore installation methods; in case of reel
laid pipelines, modifications to the present specification may be necessary.
As general guidelines, lined pipes (mechanically bonded) are preferred where the expected
mechanical stresses, e.g. during pipeline lying and/or normal operations, are reasonably low;
clad pipes (metallurgically bonded) provide a better bending resistance than lined pipes
allowing their utilization in a wider range of applications. The COMPANY recommends the
application of clad pipes for offshore risers and for all deep and ultra deep water applications.
1.2 SCOPE
This Specification forms an addendum to API Specification 5LD, Specification for CRA Clad or
Lined Steel Pipe - March 2015 and defines additional requirements covering the manufacture,
inspection, testing, marking, coding and supply of clad and lined pipes. This Specification must
be read in conjunction with API Specification 5LD, Specification for CRA Clad or Lined Steel
Pipe - March 2015.
All pipes shall be produced in accordance with a Manufacturing Procedure Specification that
has been approved by COMPANY and that has been qualified in accordance (Annex D).
For the use in sour service environment, the backing material shall be fully compliant with ISO
15156 / NACE MR0175, unless differently specified by the Company.
1.3 REFERENCES

excess width and length 100% UT checked, and then cutting to final dimension and edge
preparation are performed at pipe mill.
e) Repairs to the Clad Layer. All defects found during inspection of the clad plate shall be
documented by MANUFACTURER. If a defect has to be repaired by welding, approval shall
be obtained from COMPANY prior to the repair being made.
Defects on the surface of the cladding shall be removed by grinding and the defective area
examined by dye penetrant inspection. The remaining thickness shall be checked using an
electromagnetic method, as detailed in (Section 5.5.1c), and shall be within the limits

hydrogen electrodes. The diffusible hydrogen content of the resulting weld metal shall not
exceed 10 ml / 100 g of deposited metal.
As part of the manufacturing procedure qualification test, the location of each tack weld
shall be marked adjacent to the weld. During subsequent sectioning of the weld for
mechanical testing, at least one macro specimen as detailed in (Annex D, Section D.4),
shall be removed from the location of a tack weld. Examination of the macro specimen
shall verify that complete fusion of the tack weld into the subsequent filler pass has been
achieved, without any cracking or voids.

All longitudinal seams shall be a double-sided butt weld and shall be weld overlaid on the
inside such that the depth of the overlay is at least equal to the thickness of the cladding
(See Section 7.12). Single-sided butt weld may be used subject to approval by COMPANY.

layers. The Mo content of the filler material shall be sufficient to ensure the Mo content of
the finished weld is equal to, or greater than, the Mo content of the clad material.
For girth welds made from two sides, the same requirements as those specified for the

Annex K
ADDITIONAL CLAUSE
(By agreement between COMPANY and MANUFACTURER the following method may be used to
determine the hydrostatic test pressure.)
Note: The calculation is an approximation of the effective hoop stress (SE), which is
practical for application under mill pipe testing conditions. Other calculations
provide closer approximations of the effective hoop stress but are complex and
therefore impractical for application.
K.2 The test pressure calculated shall be rounded to the nearest 100kPa.
K.3 The hydrostatic test pressure compensated for pipe end loading shall be calculated
according to the following equation:
SI Unit Equation:
PR ⋅ A R
SE −
AP
P1 = 1000 ⋅
D A
− 1
2 ⋅ t AP
where
A1 = internal cross-sectional area of pipe, mm2,
AP = cross-sectional area of pipe wall, mm2,
AR = cross-sectional area of ram, mm2,
P1 = hydrostatic test pressure in kPa,
PR = internal pressure on end-sealing ram in MPa,
SE = effective hoop stress in MPa equal to a percentage of the specified minimum yield
strength,
D = specified outside diameter, mm,
t = specified wall thickness, mm.
K.4 The above equation may be manipulated algebraically to provide calculation in other terms
appropriate to MANUFACTURER’s testing facility.
K.5 Appropriate techniques for the control of effective hoop stress based on measurements of
internal pipe and ram pressures vary according to hydrotester system design.
MANUFACTURER shall provide a control technique appropriate to his installation.
