Welded steel pipes for pressure purposes -- Part 3: Alloy fine grain steel tubes
It specifies the technical delivery conditions for circular welded steel tubes manufactured of weldable alloy fine grain steels. The standard specifies the requirements for taking samples and the testing methods.
Circular welded steel tubes manufactured of alloy fine grain steels / from 10,2 to 2540 mm /
Steel grades: P275, P355, P460
