• Option 16: reduced diameter tolerances (see 8.5.1.2);
• Option 17: unilateral diameter tolerances (see 8.5.1.2);
• Option 18: reduced eccentricity (see 8.5.1.3);
• Option 19: reduced wall thickness tolerance (see 8.5.1.4);
• Option 20: unilateral wall thickness tolerance (see 8.5.1.4);
• Option 22: reduced maximum deviation from straightness (see 8.5.3);
• Option 23: specified end finishing (see 8.5.4);
• Option 25: flattening or drift expanding test for delivery condition +A or +N (see Table 8);
• Option 26: test unit with tubes from one cast only (see 10.1);
• Option 28: alternative marking (see Clause 12);
• Option 29: delivery without corrosion protection (see Clause 13);
• Option 30: specified corrosion protection (see Clause 13);

6.3 Example of an order
12 000 m tube with an outside diameter of D = 60 mm and an inside diameter of d = 56 mm in accordance with this document, made of steel grade E235 in the normalized condition, delivered in random lengths, with a 3.1 inspection certificate in accordance with EN 10204:
12 000 m tube – D 60 x d 56 – EN 10305-2 – E235+N – random length – inspection certificate 3.1
7 Manufacturing process
7.1 Steelmaking process
The steelmaking process is at the discretion of the manufacturer with the exception that the open hearth (Siemens-Martin) process shall not be employed unless in combination with a secondary steelmaking or ladle refining process.
Steels shall be fully killed.
NOTE This excludes the use of rimming, balanced or semi-killed steel.
7.2 Tube manufacture and delivery conditions
7.2.1 The tubes shall be manufactured from electric welded hollows by cold drawing. The tubes shall not contain strip end welds.
7.2.2 The tubes shall be supplied in one of the delivery conditions given in Table 1.BS 10305-2 pdf download.
