Tubing having other dimensions maybe furnished, provided such tubes comply with all otherrequirements of this specification.1.3 Mechanical property requirements do not apply totubing smaller than14 in. 3.2 mm in inside

5、 diameter or 0.015in. 0.4 mm in thickness.1.4 An optional supplementary requirement is provided and,when desired, shall be so stated in the order.1.5 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded separately as standard. Within the text, theSI units are shown in brackets.

6、 The values stated in eachsystem may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each systemshall be used independently of the other. Combining valuesfrom the two systems may result in non-conformance with thestandard. The inch-pound units shall apply unless the “M”designation of this specification is spec

When final heattreatment is in a batch-type furnace, a lot shall include

18、only those tubes ofthe same size and from the same heat which are heat treated in the samefurnace charge. When the final heat treatment is in a continuous furnacethe number of tubes of the same size and from the same heat in a lot shallbe determined from the size of the tubes as prescribed in Table
