Redraw hollows are any unfinished carbon or alloy steel other than stainless steel pipe or hollow profiles suitable for cold finishing operations, such as cold drawing, to meet the American Society for Testing and Materials ASTM or American Petroleum Institute API specifications referenced below, or comparable specifications. Specifically included within the scope are seamless carbon and alloy steel other than stainless steel standard, line, and pressure pipes produced to the ASTM A53, ASTM A106, ASTM A333, ASTM A334, ASTM A589, ASTM A795, ASTM A1024, and the API
51 specifications, or comparable specifications, and meeting the physical parameters described above, regardless of application, with the exception of the exclusions discussed below.
Specifically excluded from the scope of the investigation are: 1 All pipes meeting aerospace, hydraulic, and bearing tubing specifications, including pipe produced to the ASTM A822 standard; 2 all pipes meeting the chemical requirements of ASTM
A335, whether finished or unfinished; and 3 unattached couplings. Also excluded from the scope of the investigation are 1 all mechanical, boiler, condenser and heat exchange tubing, except when such products conform to the dimensional requirements, i.e., outside diameter and wall thickness, of ASTM A53, ASTM A106 or API 51
specifications. Also excluded from the scope of the investigation are: 1 oil country tubular goods consisting of drill pipe, casing, tubing and coupling stock; 2 all pipes meeting the chemical requirements of ASTM
A335 regardless of their conformity to the dimensional requirements of ASTM A53, ASTM A106 or API 5L; and 3 the exclusion for ASTM A335 applies to pipes meeting the comparable specifications GOST
55075.
