Note. The values of yield strength for tube states R310, R480 in parentheses are for information only.
When tested for yield strength tubes the states R310, R480 indicate the actual.
The tubes should be sealed. Control discontinuities is performed using the eddy current flaw detector.
Other requirements of BS EN 12451:1999 and ASTM B 111M.
