1.1 This specification covers seam welded ferritic-martensitic (dual phase) stainless steel pipe intended for abrasive and general corrosion service, manufactured with or without the addition of filler metal. Nominal sizes are NPS 2 to NPS 36 inclusive, with nominal (average) wall thickness up to 0.75-in. (19 mm).

1.2 The values stated in either inch-pound units or SI units are to be regarded separately as standard. Within the text, the SI units are shown in brackets. The values stated in each system may not be exact equivalents. Therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in non-conformance with the standard. The inch-pound units shall apply unless the “M” designation is specified in the order.

It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

1.4 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
