ISO 10893-8:2011规定了自动超声检测无缝和焊接管（埋弧焊（SAW）、钢管或焊接钢管焊缝附近区域，以及无缝和焊接钢管端部（全周检测）层流缺陷的要求。 ISO 10893-8:2011也适用于圆形中空截面的测试。

ISO 10893-8:2011 specifies requirements for automated ultrasonic testing for the detection of laminar imperfections in the pipe body (full peripheral testing) of seamless and welded, except submerged arc-welded (SAW), steel tubes, or in the area adjacent to the weld seam of welded steel tubes, and, optionally, at the ends (full peripheral testing) of seamless and welded tubes. ISO 10893-8:2011 can also be applicable to the testing of circular hollow sections.
