Welded steel tubes for pressure purposes – Technical delivery conditions -- Part 6: Submerged arc welded non-alloy steel tubes with specified low temperature properties
The standard specifies the technical delivery conditions for circular submerged arc welded pipes with specified low temperature properties manufactured of non-alloy steels. It specifies the requirements for taking samples and the methods of testing.
Circular welded pipes manufactured of non-alloy steel with specified low temperature properties. / from 406,4 to 2540 mm /
Steel grades: P215NL and P265NL
Two testing categories are also distinguished in this case:
which differ with respect to the test type and, most of all, with the fact that ultrasound testing is introduced in the case of the TC2 group.
