1、Designation: A 179/A 179M 90a (Reapproved 2005)Used in USNRC-RDT StandardsStandard Specification forSeamless Cold-Drawn Low-Carbon Steel Heat-Exchangerand Condenser Tubes1This standard is issued under the fixed designation A 179/A 179M; the number immediately following the designation indicates the

2、yearof original adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.A superscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This specification2covers minimum-wall-thickness,se

3、amless cold-drawn low-carbon steel tubes for tubular heatexchangers, condensers, and similar heat transfer apparatus.1.2 This specification covers tubes18 to 3 in. 3.2 to 76.2mm, inclusive, in outside diameter.NOTE 1Tubing smaller in outside diameter and having a thinner wallthan indicated in this s

4、pecification is available. Mechanical propertyrequirements do not apply to tubing smaller than18 in. 3.2 mm inoutside diameter or with a wall thickness under 0.015 in. 0.4 mm.1.3 The values stated in either inch-pound units or SI unitsare to be regarded separately as standard. Within the text, theSI

5、 units are shown in brackets. The values stated in eachsystem are not exact equivalents; therefore, each system mustbe used independently of the other. Combining values from thetwo systems may result in nonconformance with the specifi-cation. The inch-pound units shall apply unless the “M”designatio

Billetsor tubes which do not meet the requirements of the specifica-tion shall be rejected.NOTE 2A lot consists of 250 tubes.10. Hardness Requirements10.1 The t

17、ubes shall have a hardness number not exceeding72 HRB.11. Mechanical Tests Required11.1 Flattening TestOne flattening test shall be made onspecimens from each of two tubes from each lot (Note 2)orfraction thereof.11.2 Flaring TestOne flaring test shall be made on speci-mens from each of two tubes fr

18、om each lot (Note 2) or fractionthereof.11.3 Flange TestWhen specified as a substitute for theflaring test, for tubes having a wall thickness (actual meanwall) less than 10 % of the outside diameter, one test shall bemade on specimens from each of two tubes from each lot (Note2) or fraction thereof.

19、 For tubes other than specified above, theflange test shall not be required.11.4 Hardness TestRockwell hardness tests shall be madeon specimens from two tubes from each lot. The term lotapplies to all tubes, prior to cutting, of the same nominaldiameter and wall thickness which are produced from the

20、 sameheat of steel. When final heat treatment is in a batch-typefurnace, a lot shall include only those tubes of the same sizeand the same heat which are heat treated in the same furnacecharge. When the final heat treatment is in a continuousfurnace, a lot shall include all tubes of the same size an

21、d heat,heat treated in the same furnace at the same temperature, timeat heat, and furnace speed.11.5 Hydrostatic TestEach tube shall be subjected to thehydrostatic test, or, instead of this test, a nondestructive electrictest may be used when specified by the purchaser.12. Product Marking12.1 In add

22、ition to the marking prescribed in SpecificationA 450/A 450M, the marking shall include the name and ordernumber of the purchaser.13.
