Defines requirements for welding solution annealed duplex austentic - ferritic stainless steel pipelines having specific minimum chromium contents in the range 21.0% to 26.0% according to BS 8010.

This British Standard specifies requirements for the welding of solution annealed duplex austenitic—ferritic stainless steel pipelines with specified minimum chromium contents in the range 21.0 % to 26.0 %, designed in accordance with BS 8010.

It is applicable to transmission pipelines for gases, liquids or slurries, both on land and offshore, of outside diameter 21.0 mm and larger, having a thickness of 3.0 mm or greater.

In addition to the definitive requirements it also requires that the items detailed in clause 4 be documented. For compliance with this standard, both the definitive requirements and the documented items have to be satisfied.
