O le lautele o le faʻaogaina o paipa uʻamea e le faʻaogaina i totonu o fale gaosi oloa ma fale faufale e taua tele ai ona tulaga ma manaʻoga lelei. O le mea ua taʻua o le "tolu-standard paipa" e faasino i paipa uʻamea e leai se aoga e fetaui ma tulaga faʻavaomalo e tolu, e masani ona aofia ai.API(American Petroleum Institute),ASTM(American Society for Testing and Materials) maASME(American Society of Mechanical Engineers) tulaga faatonuina. O lenei ituaiga o paipa uʻamea e matua maualuga lava le faʻatuatuaina ma le fetuutuunai ona o ona tulaga maualuga ma le tele o tusipasi, ma e faʻaaogaina lautele i pisinisi e pei o le suauu, kesi masani, vailaʻau, ma le eletise.

Muamua, API masani paipa uʻamea seamless e masani ona faʻaaogaina i le suauʻu ma kesi alamanuia, ma ona tulaga autu oAPI 5LmaAPI 5CT. O le API 5L standard e aofia ai le gaosiga o manaʻoga o paipa faʻasalalau e faʻamautinoa ai le faʻatinoina o paipa i le maualuga o le mamafa, maualuga le vevela ma siosiomaga faʻaleagaina. O le API 5CT faʻataʻitaʻiga e taulaʻi i le suauʻu suauʻu ma tubing e faʻamautinoa ai le malosi ma le tumau o paipa i le taimi o le viliina ma le gaosiga. API tulaga masani paipa uʻamea seamless e masani ona i ai le malosi maualuga, malosi maualuga ma lelei tetee corrosion.

Lona lua, ASTM standard seamless paipa uʻamea e aofia ai le tele o alamanuia fanua, e aofia ai boilers, exchangers vevela, fausaga fale, ma isi.ASTM A106maASTM A53 o tulaga fa'atusa. ASTM A106 paipa u'amea fa'alelei e talafeagai mo fa'aoga maualuga-vevela ma e fa'aaogaina lautele i faiga paipa maualuga i totonu o fale eletise, fa'amamā ma vaila'au. ASTM A53 paipa u'amea fa'alelei e talafeagai mo fela'ua'iga vai, e aofia ai vai, ea ma ausa. O nei tulaga faʻataʻitaʻiga faʻamaoti faʻamaʻoti le vailaʻau, mea faʻainisinia ma le faʻapalepale o paipa uʻamea e faʻamautinoa ai lo latou faʻatuatuaina i faʻaoga eseese.

Ma le mea mulimuli, o paipa u'amea masani a le ASME e masani ona faʻaaogaina mo faʻavela ma vaʻa mamafa. ASME B31.3 ma le ASME B31.1 o ni tulaga taua e lua e faʻamaonia ai le mamanu ma le gaosiga o manaʻoga o paipa i lalo o le maualuga o le mamafa ma le vevela maualuga. O le ASME standard e faʻamamafaina le saogalemu ma le umi o le faʻatinoina o paipa uʻamea ma e talafeagai mo taimi e manaʻomia ai le faʻatuatuaina maualuga ma le saogalemu, e pei o fale eletise faaniukilia, vailaʻau vailaʻau ma meafaigaluega tetele tau alamanuia.

O le lelei o paipa e tolu-tulaga o loʻo taoto i le tele o latou faʻamaonia ma lautele faʻaoga. Talu ai latou te faʻafetaui tulaga API, ASTM ma ASME i le taimi lava e tasi, o lenei ituaiga o paipa uʻamea e le mafai ona faʻamalieina manaoga faʻapitoa o atunuʻu eseese ma itulagi ma talafeagai mo le tele o tulaga faigata o galuega. Pe i le maualuga o le mamafa, maualuga le vevela poʻo le corrosive siʻosiʻomaga, e tolu-faʻataʻitaʻiga paipa e mafai ona faʻaalia lelei le faʻatinoga e faʻamautinoa ai le saogalemu ma le mautu o le faʻaogaina o le faiga.

I se faapuupuuga, i le avea ai o se oloa maualuga i totonu o paipa uʻamea, o paipa e tolu-faʻataʻitaʻiga ua avea ma mea taua ma taua i totonu o fale gaosi oloa ma fale faufale ma a latou faʻamaonia tulaga masani ma faʻatinoga lelei. O lona faʻaogaina lautele e le gata ina faʻaleleia ai le lelei ma le saogalemu o galuega faatino, ae faʻamalosia foi le atinaʻeina ma le faʻafouina o tekinolosi mea uamea. Filifilia o paipa e tolu-faʻataʻitaʻiga e le gata o se faʻamautinoaga o le lelei, ae o se tautinoga foi i le tumau tumau ma le saogalemu o le poloketi.
