What does "CR" mean?

I was referencing ASTM 403A, and noticed the designations "WP", and "CR". From past posts I found that "WP" stands for "Welded Pipe". I was unable to find a definition for "CR". What does "CR" mean? What are the differences between WP and CR? From what I could tell, it is the hydrostatic testing methods, and dimension standards that are different. Are there other differences, what about advantages/disadvantages between the two? Any help would be appreciated.

It could also mean cold rolled - see the CASTI Guidebook to ASME Section II, 2000 Materials Index.

Thanks for the responses guys. So either corrosion resistant or cold rolled. One is a characteristic/property, and the other sounds like a process. I've looked at the CASTI, and I did find the abbreviation definition for "CR". What's the major difference between "WP" and "CR"? Any ideas.

WP stands for "Wrought Pipe" and CR stands for "Corrosion Resistant". These can be seamless or welded construction.

CR Grades are separate with no class designation. They can be seamless, but they are not welded. It is covered in A 403.
