Whensteel of different grades are sequentially strand cast, identifi-cation of the resultant transition material is required. Theproducer shall remove the transition material by

16、 an establishedprocedure that positively separates the grades.5. Materials and Manufacture5.1 The tubes shall be made from flat-rolled steel by anautomatic welding process without the addition of filler metal.6. Condition6.1 The tubes shall be furnished in any of the followingconditions as specified

17、:6.1.1 As welded,6.1.2 Welded and annealed,6.1.3 Cold reduced,6.1.4 Cold reduced and annealed.6.2 The inside diameter bead shall be furnished in any of thefollowing conditions as specified:6.2.1 Bead not removed,6.2.2 Bead controlled to 0.005 in. (0.13 mm) or 15 % of thespecified wall thickness, whi

18、chever is greater, and6.2.3 Bead removed.7. Heat Analysis7.1 An analysis of each heat of steel shall be made by thesteel manufacturer to determine the percentages of the ele-ments specified. If secondary melting processes are employed,the heat analysis shall be obtained from one remelted ingot orthe

19、 product of one remelted ingot of each primary melt. Thechemical composition thus determined, or that determinedfrom a product analysis made by the tubular product manufac-turer, shall conform to requirements specified. When requestedin the order or contract, a report of this analysis shall befurnis

20、hed to the purchaser. (See Test Methods E 30 andPractice E 59.)8. Permissible Variations in DimensionsRound Tubing8.1 For all conditions except tubing with bead removed,Table 2 shall apply.8.2 For tubing with bead removed, Table 3 shall apply.8.3 LengthsTubing is normally furnished in mill lengths 5

21、ft (1.5 m) and over. Definite cut lengths are furnished whenspecified, to the length tolerances shown in Table 4. For tubingordered in multiple lengths, it is common practice to allow adefinite amount over for each multiple for the purchaserscutting operation. Thus cutting allowance should be specif

22、iedin the purchase order.8.4 Straightness ToleranceThe straightness toleranceshall be 0.030 in. (0.76 mm) maximum in any 3-ft (0.9-m)length of tubing. The straightness tolerance on shorter lengthsand on special requirements shall be agreed upon between thepurchaser and producer.9. Permissible Variat

23、ions in DimensionsSquare andRectangular Tubing9.1 Square and rectangular welded stainless mechanicaltubing is supplied as cold worked unless otherwise specified.For this tubing, variations in dimensions from those specifiedshall not exceed the amounts prescribed in Table 5. For lengths,see 8.3.10. W
