ISO 10893-3:2011 specifies requirements for automated full peripheral magnetic flux leakage testing of seamless and welded ferromagnetic steel tubes, with the exception of submerged arc-welded (SAW) tubes, for the detection of imperfections.

Unless otherwise specified in the purchase order, ISO 10893-3:2010 is applicable to the detection of predominantly longitudinal imperfections.

ISO 10893-3:2010 is applicable to the inspection of tubes with an outside diameter equal to or greater than 10 mm.

It can also be applicable to the testing of hollow sections.
