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, that meet the applicable American Society for Testing and Materials or American Petroleum Institute specifications 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 A–53, ASTM A–106, ASTM A–333, ASTM A–334, ASTM A–335, ASTM A–589, ASTM A–795, ASTM A–1024 and the API 5L specifications, or comparable specifications, and meeting the physical parameters described above, regardless of application.
