Steel Tubes, Pipes and Fittings Sectional Committee, MTD 19

FOREWORD
This Indian Standard was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft finalized by the Steel Tubes,
Pipes and Fittings Sectional Committee had been approved by the Metallurgical Engineering Division Council.
A large quantity of stainless steel welded pipes and tubes are manufactured in India for various applications.
Given the diverse applications of stainless steel seamless pipes and tubes, coupled with corrosion resistance and
desired mechanical properties at low as well as high temperatures, the committee decided to formulate a standard
on seamless stainless steel pipes and tubes for general applications. Due to its unique combination of ductility,
elasticity and hardness it finds application in various industries. Because the welded pipes and tubes can be
produced easily as compared to seamless pipes and tubes and are less expensive, these pipes and tubes have wider
applications. Apart from wide applications in oil and gas industry, it is used in various mechanical and engineering
industries also.
There are many grades of Stainless Steel and corrosion and mechanical properties varies vastly from grade to grade
and hence proper selection of the grade for a particular application is of utmost importance. Proper care should
be taken while production, handling storage and fabrication of final product to retain the important properties of
stainless steel pipes and tubes.
In the formulation of this standard, due weightage has been given to international co-ordination among the
standards prevailing in different countries in addition to relating it to the practices in the field in this country.
Assistance has been derived from the following:
ASTM A 268 Seamless and Welded Ferritic and Martensitic Stainless Steel Tubing for General Service
ASTM A 269 Seamless and Welded Austenitic Stainless Steel Tubing for General Service
ASTM A 312 Seamless, Welded, and Heavily Cold Worked Austenitic Stainless Steel Pipes
ASTM A 632 Seamless and Welded Austenitic Stainless Steel Tubing (Small-Diameter) for General Service
ASTM A 789 Seamless and Welded Ferritic/Austenitic Stainless Steel Tubing for General Service
ASTM A 790 Seamless and Welded Ferritic/Austenitic Stainless Steel Pipe
ISO 1127 Stainless steel tubes — Dimensions, tolerances and conventional masses per unit length
ISO 9330-6 Welded steel tubes for pressure purposes — Technical delivery conditions — Part 6:
Longitudinally welded austenitic stainless steel tubes
This standard contains clauses 8.1, 9.2, 11.1, 18.1 and 19 which call for an agreement between the manufacturer
and the purchaser.
The Composition of the Committee and the Panel responsible for the formulation of this standard is given at
Annex C.
For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with the final value,
observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test or analysis shall be rounded off in accordance with
IS 2 : 2022 ‘Rules for rounding off numerical values ( second revision )ʼ. The number of significant places retained
in the rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard.

Review of Indian Standards

Amendments are issued to standards as the need arises on the basis of comments. Standards are also reviewed
periodically; a standard along with amendments is reaffirmed when such review indicates that no changes are
needed; if the review indicates that changes are needed, it is taken up for revision. Users of Indian Standards
should ascertain that they are in possession of the latest amendments or edition by referring to the website-
