Method of Manufacture:

The tubes are manufactured from flat rolled strip, longitudinally welded continuously by the passage of an electric current

They are subsequently cold finished normally on both the inside and outside surfaces, where it is permissble to have both

an adherent layer of residual lubricant originating from the drawing process and visible traces of the internal weld upset.

If phosphate or other residues are detrimental to subsequent processing, their removal shall be the subject of an agreement
