Chemical Composition6.1 The steel shall conform to the requirements as to chemical composition prescribed in Table 1 or Table 2 (see SpecificationA1040

27、) and Table 3.6.2 When a grade is ordered under this specification, supplying an alloy grade that specifically requires the addition of anyelement other than those listed for the ordered grade in Table 1 or Table 2 is not permitted.7. Heat Analysis7.1 An analysis of each heat of steel shall be made

28、by the steel manufacturer to determine the percentages of the elementsspecified; if secondary melting processes are used, the heat analysis shall be obtained from one remelted ingot or the product ofone remelted ingot of each primary melt. The heat analysis shall conform to the requirements specifie

29、d, except that where the heatidentity has not been maintained or where the analysis is not sufficiently complete to permit conformance to be determined, thechemical composition determined from a product analysis made by the tubular manufacturer shall conform to the requirementsspecified for heat ana

Product Analysis8.1 When requested on the purchase order, a product analysis shall be made by the manufac

31、turer.

32、be based on the individual heat or lot identity of one ofthe following forms of material.8.3.1 Heat Identity MaintainedOne product analysis per heat on either a billet, a length of flat rolled stock, or a tube.8.3.2 Heat Identity Not MaintainedOne product analysis from one tube per 2000 ft (610 m) o

33、r less for sizes over 3 in. (76.2mm), or one product analysis from one tube per 5000 ft (1524 m) or less for sizes under 3 in. (76.2 mm).8.4 If the original test for product analysis fails, retests of 2 additional billets, 2 lengths of flat rolled stock, or 2 tubes shall bemade. Both retests for the

34、 elements in question shall meet the requirements of this specification; otherwise all remaining materialin the heat or lot shall be rejected, or at the option of the producer, each billet, length, flat rolled stock, or tube may be individuallytested for acceptance.8.5 Samples for product analysis,

Half-length random tubing will havea spread not exceeding 4 ft (1.2 m). Not more than 10 % of the total footage of a shipment may be furnished in lengths short

40、erthan the minimum specified but not less than 6 ft (1.8 m).9.2.1 When specified, multiple lengths will be furnished and should include allowances made for the customers cutting toolwidth and grippage. Maximum and minimum lengths may be specified with the understanding that not more than 10 % of the

41、 totalfootage in a shipment may be furnished in individual multiples cut to the customers specifications.9.2.2 Variations from the specified length shall not exceed the amounts prescribed in Table 5.9.3 Straightness:9.3.1 A round tube shall be considered straight provided that no 3-ft (0.9-m) sectio

42、n departs from a straight line by more than0.030 in.
