A. Any used pipe installed in a pipeline system must comply with §4315.A.1 and the following:
1. the pipe must be of a known
specification and the seam joint factor must be determined in accordance with
§4309.E If the specified
minimum yield strength or the wall thickness is not known, it is determined in
accordance with
§4309.B or C as
appropriate;
2. there may not be
any:
a. buckles;
b. cracks, grooves, gouges, dents, or other
surface defects that exceed the maximum depth of such a defect permitted by the
specification to which the pipe was manufactured; or

thickness is less than the minimum thickness required by the tolerances in the
specification to which the pipe was manufactured.
