2. The welded tubes shall be manufactured from hot rolled steel strip for welded tubes and
pipes conforming to IS 10748 or Cold-rolled low carbon steel sheets and strips conforming
to IS 513.
4. For welded tubes, the height of the internal weld fin shall not be greater than 60 percent of
the specified wall thickness.

5. Joints:
All screwed tubes shall be supplied with pipe threads conforming to IS 554. Gauging in
accordance with IS 8999 shall be considered as an adequate test for conformity of threads of IS
554. The minimum length of threads in light tubes shall be 80 percent of that specified in IS 554.
6. Galvanizing:
Where tubes are required to be galvanized, the zinc coating on the tubes shall be in
accordance with IS 4736.
Tubes, which are to be screwed, shall be galvanized before screwing.
7. Tests:
a. Leak Proof Test:
Each tube shall be tested for leak tightness as an in-process test at manufacturer’s
works either by hydrostatic test or alternatively by Eddy current test, in accordance
with Annex B of IS 1239 Part 1.
Hydrostatic test shall be carried out at a pressuring of 5 MPa and the same
maintained for at least 3 seconds and shall not show any leakage in the pipe.
b. Tensile Strength:
The tensile strength shall be at least 320 MPa (320 N/mm2). The test shall be carried
out on full section or strip cut from the selected tubes in accordance with IS 1608 and
IS 12278.
The elongation percent on a gauge length of 5.65√So where So is the original cross-
sectional area of the test specimen, shall be as follows:

8. Sampling:
The procedure for sampling of tubes for various tests and criteria shall conform to IS 4711.
9. Marking:
The different classes of tubes shall be distinguished by the following colour bands:
a. Light tubes: Yellow
b. Medium tubes: Blue
