Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical
committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has
the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in
liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical
Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 3.
Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting.
Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this International Standard may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard ISO 13680 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 67, Materials, equipment and
offshore structures for petroleum and natural gas industries, Subcommittee SC 5, Casing, tubing and drill pipe.

1 Scope
This International Standard specifies the technical delivery conditions for corrosion-resistant alloy seamless tubes
for casing, tubing and coupling stock.
This International Standard is applicable to the following four groups of tube product:

stainless alloy;
� Group 3, comprised of stainless alloy with an austenitic structure (iron base);
� Group 4, comprised of nickel-based alloys with an austenitic structure (nickel base).
This International Standard contains no provisions relating to the connection or other methods by which individual

NOTE The connection or joining method can influence the corrosion performance of the materials specified in this
International Standard.
