Title
Standard Specification for Electric-Fusion-Welded Austenitic Chromium-Nickel Stainless Steel Pipe for High-Temperature Service and General Applications
ASTM International
Publication Date:
Mar 1, 2008
Scope:
This specification2 covers electric-fusion-welded
austenitic chromium-nickel stainless steel pipe suitable for
corrosive or high-temperature service, or both, or for general
applications.
NOTE 1—The dimensionless designator NPS (nominal pipe size) has
been substituted in this standard for such traditional terms as
"nominal diameter," "size," and "nominal size."
This specification covers the grades of alloy and stainless
steel listed in Table 1. The selection of the proper grade and
requirements for heat treatment shall be at the discretion of the
purchaser, dependent on the service conditions to be
encountered.
Five classes of pipe are covered as follows:
Class 1—Pipe shall be double welded by processes
employing filler metal in all passes and shall be completely
radiographed.
Class 2—Pipe shall be double welded by processes
employing filler metal in all passes. No radiography is
required.
Class 3—Pipe shall be single welded by processes
employing filler metal in all passes and shall be completely
radiographed.
Class 4—Same as Class 3 except that the weld pass
exposed to the inside pipe surface may be made without the addition
of filler metal (see 6.2.2.1 and 6.2.2.2).
Class 5—Pipe shall be double welded by processes
employing filler metal in all passes and shall be spot
radiographed.
Supplementary requirements covering provisions ranging from
additional testing to formalized procedures for manufacturing
practice are provided. Supplementary Requirements S1 through S6 are
included as options to be specified when desired.
The values stated in either inch-pound units or SI units are to
be regarded separately as standard. Within the text, the SI units
are shown in brackets. The values stated in each system are not
exact equivalents; therefore, each system must be used
independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems
may result in nonconformance with the specification. The inch-pound
units shall apply unless the "M" designation of this specification
is specified in the order.
*A Summary of Changes section appears at the end of this
standard.
