Defines technical delivery conditions for unalloyed and alloyed (not stainless) seamless and welded steel pipes. Contains more stringent requirements than those defined in ISO 3183-1 and ISO 3183-2. Applicable to pipes usually used for transmitting combustible fluids under especially arduous circumstances, eg offshore service, low temperature service and/or sour service. Does not cover cast steel pipes.
