DIN 2458 <\/b><\/strong>WELDED STEEL PIPES AND TUBESSpecifies the technical delivery conditions for two qualities, TR1 and TR2, of welded tubes of circular cross section, with specified room temperature properties, made of non-alloy quality steel\u2026 This standard applies to weldable fine grain structural steels as well as apparatus steels. First published in mid-20th century and developed\/expanded since, this standard covers both seamless and electric resistance welded tubes including tubes for bending and for flanging purposes as well as other products from high tensile carbon steel and alloy steel.<\/p>
