Scope:

This specification covers the fabrication of structural steel pipe formed from plate steel with longitudinal and circumferential butt-welded seams, typically in sizes 14 in. outside diameter (OD) and larger (40 in. and larger for LWDS) with wall thickness ³/₈ in. and greater (up to a nominal 40 ft in length) suitable for use in construction of welded offshore structures. The use of the ERW process or spiral welded pipe is not included in this specification.
