Always one step ahead when quality is
concerned: Eisenbau Krämer (EBK) was the first
German steel pipe manufacturer to obtain
already in 1990 the ISO 9001 certification for
longitudinally welded steel pipes.
As early as 1958 we obtained the API licence
for the manufacture of line pipes. Since being
audited as per API-Q1, EBK are entitled to bear
the official API monogram for quality levels API
5L and API 2B in our plants in Hilchenbach,
Littfeld and Recklinghausen.
General regulations and standards:
API 5L, API 2B, API 5LD
ASTM, DIN (EN) PED
ISO; BS, ASME U, ASME S
Testing:
Non-destructive testing: ultrasonic, dye penetration,
magnetic particle and X-ray testing
Mechanical: Bending and tensile tests, KBZ,
hardness, CTOD, DWTT, corrosions tests for CLAD
Qualifications and approvals:
e.g. as per ISO 9001-2000,
EN 290001,
various certification organizations as well as all
renowned companies in the energy industry

low temperatures down to -196 °C
The liquid gas range is a constantly growing market. For ease of transport, gases are
liquefied at extremely low temperatures. As an alternative to stainless steel, nickel-
alloy steels may be used. In recent years, pipes with a nickel content of up to 3.5%
-196 °C were supplied for specific projects. Pipes made from 9% and 36% nickel steels are
now offered by EBK for use in the construction of tanks and line pipes. The mechanical
properties achieved for longitudinal and circumferential welding are above those
specified in the applicable standards.

X120 Pipes made from high-tensile steel (up to X120)

EBK constantly apply new developments in this field. A yield strength of X80 was a
novelty some years ago, but today pipes are produced in accordance with API 5L, which
corresponds to a yield strength of X120. These qualities are mainly used for riser pipes.

X80 NACE Pipes for sour service meeting highest requirements

Having been involved in a large number of projects, EBK have many years of
experience in the field of pipes for sour gas. These pipes are manufactured in
accordance with NACE standards TM 0284 (solutions A & B), as well as to customers’
specifications. The requirements imposed can be met for pipes up to a strength
of 80,000 PSI.
