ASTM A984/A984M-00

Standard Specification for Steel Line Pipe, Black, Plain-End, Electric-Resistance-Welded

SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers electric resistance welded, black, plain-end steel pipe for use in the conveyance of fluids under pressure. Pipe in sizes NPS 1 to 26, inclusive, with nominal wall thickness 0.750 in. (19 mm) or less, as given in ANSI-ASME B. 36.10M is included. Pipe having other dimensions, in this size range, may be furnished provided such pipe complies with all other requirements of this specification.
