1 Scope 1.1 General
This Standard covers seamless pipe, electric-welded pipe (flash-welded pipe and low-frequency electric-welded pipe excluded) and submerged-arc-welded pipe primarily intended for use in oil or gas pipeline systems. Notes:
(1) Flash-welded pipe is pipe manufactured by a process using electric-resistance heating to produce a simultaneous coalescence over the entire area of the abutting edges and the application of pressure for joining.
(2) Low frequency is less than 1 kHz.
