Whilst API 5L and ISO 3183 are well-established line pipe material standards they fall short in a number of areas of concern to EEMUA members and other pipeline operators. Consequently, these documents are generally accompanied by a company specific addendum when line pipe is ordered. A plethora of company addenda exist and EEMUA 233 has been prepared in order to present an addendum, covering the areas of concern, acceptable to the pipeline community. 

Individual project requirements will inevitably lead to a number of specific testing requirements for individual pipelines but EEMUA 233 is designed to accommodate these requirements whilst ensuring delivery of the highest possible quality line pipe. 

EEMUA 233 is available to purchase directly from EEMUA through the Shop. Participants in EEMUA member companies can download a complimentary digital copy.
