| Term | Symbol | Explanation | 
| Cold-finished/hard (cold-finished as-drawn)  | BK | No heat treatment after the last cold-forming process. The tubes therefore have only low deformability. | 
| Cold-finished/soft (lightly cold-worked)  | BKW | After the last heat treatment there is a light finishing pass (cold drawing) With proper subsequent processing, the tube can be cold-formed (e.g. bent, expanded) within certain limits. | 
| Annealed | GBK | After the final cold-forming process the tubes are annealed in a controlled atmosphere or under vacuum. | 
| Normalized | NBK | The tubes are annealed above the upper transformation point in a controlled atmosphere or under vacuum. |
