New or Revised Standards, TIPs, and Useful Methods

TIP 0402-24 "Guide to the use of stainless steel pipe specifications" (Revised)

Special note: Documents appearing in the TAPPI online version of the Standards and TIPs are updated once a month (usually around the 15th). So it is possible that there is a delay between the publication announcement and the posting online. If you are a subscriber to the online access to Standards and TIPs and you are in a hurry for new documents that have not yet been posted, you can send a request to standards@tappi.org.
