Abstract / scope
Specifies the quality requirements for tubes which are applied for pressure purposes at room temperatur, at low temperatures (good resistance to brittle fracture at temperatures down to - 195 °C) or at elevated temperatures in cases where the creep properties are not the ruling characteristics for design. Does not cover casing, tubing, drill pipe and linepipe for use by the oil and natural gas industries and tubes for the transport of gas, water and sewage.
