3、pecification covers aluminum and aluminum-alloyextruded round tubes either in coils or straight lengths, forgeneral purpose applications such as refrigeration service, gaslines, oil lines, and instrument lines, in the alloys (Note 2) andtempers shown in Table 2 Table 3, in outside diameters of0.250

4、through 0.750 in. 6.00 through 20.00 mm. For diam-eters over 0.500 through 0.750 in. over 12.50 through 20.00mm, the diameter and wall-thickness tolerances and eddy-current test parameters, if required, shall be agreed upon by theproducer and the purchaser. Only tubes in aluminum 1200-H111 and 1235-

5、H111 are sized after extrusion to minimizeovalness.1.2 Alloy and temper designations are in accordance withANSI H35.1H35.1M. The equivalent Unified NumberingSystem alloy designations are those of Table 1 preceded by A9(for example, A91050 for aluminum 1050) in accordance withPractice E 527.NOTE 1For

However, should testing by

30、thepurchaser establish that the material does not meet theserequirements, the material shall be subject to rejection.4. Ordering Information4.1 Orders for material to this specification shall include thefollowing information:4.1.1 This specification designation (which includes thenumber, the year, a

31、nd the revision letter, if applicable),NOTE 4For inch-pound orders specify B 491, for metric ordersspecify B 491M.

32、nside diameter and wall thickness),4.1.6 Length, random or specific,4.1.7 Nominal inside diameter of coils, and weight ormaximum outside diameter, if applicable (18.3),4.2 Additionally, orders for material to this specificationshall include the following information when required by thepurchaser:4.2

33、.1 Whether testing for leaks is required (Section 10), andfrequency of testing required,4.2.2 For aluminum 1200-H111 and 1235-H111, whetherinside cleanliness test is required (11.2), and frequency oftesting required,4.2.3 Whether inspection or witness of inspection and testsby the purchasers represe

35、 Manufacture5.1 The tubes covered by this specification shall be pro-duced by the hot-extrusion method. The tube ends shall becrimped or otherwise sealed to avoid contamination duringshipping. When sized tube in aluminum 1200-H111 or 1235-H111 is required the extruded tube may be lightly cold drawn.

36、6. Responsibility for Quality Assurance6.1 Responsibility for Inspection Unless otherwise speci-fied in the contract or purchase order, the producer is respon-sible for the performance of all inspection and test require-ments specified herein. Except as otherwise specified in thecontract or order, t

37、he producer may use his own or any othersuitable facilities for the performance of the inspection and testrequirements specified herein, unless disapproved by the pur-chaser. The purchaser shall have the right to perform any of theinspections and tests set forth in this specification where suchinspe

38、ctions are deemed necessary to assure that materialconforms to prescribed requirements.6.2 Lot DefinitionAn inspection lot shall be defined asfollows:6.2.1 For heat-treated tempers, an inspection lot shall con-sist of an identifiable quantity of material of the same millform, alloy, temper, and nomi

39、nal dimensions traceable to aheat-treated lot or lots, and subjected to inspection at one time.6.2.2 For nonheat-treated tempers, an inspection lot shallconsist of an identifiable quantity of material of the same millform, alloy, temper, and nominal dimensions subjected toinspection at one time.7. C

40、hemical Composition7.1 LimitsThe tubes shall conform to the chemical com-position limits specified in Table 1. Conformance shall bedetermined by analyzing samples taken at the time the ingotsare poured or samples taken from the finished or semifinishedproduct. If the producer has determined the chem

41、ical compo-sition of the material during the course of manufacture he shallnot be required to sample and analzye the finished product.NOTE 5It is standard practice in the United States aluminum industryto determine conformance to the chemical composition limits prior tofurther processing of ingots i

42、nto wrought products. Due to the continuousnature of the process, it is not practical to keep a specific ingot analysisidentified with a specific quantity of finished material.7.2 Number of SamplesThe number of samples taken fordetermination of chemical composition shall be as follows:7.2.1 When sam

43、ples are taken at the time the ingots arepoured, at least one sample shall be taken for each group ofingots poured simultaneously from the same source of moltenmetal.7.2.2 When samples are taken from the finished or semifin-ished product, a sample shall be taken to represent each 4000lb 2000 kg or f

44、raction thereof in the lot, except that not morethan one sample shall be required per piece.7.3 Methods of SamplingSamples for determination ofchemical composition shall be taken in accordance with one ofthe following methods:7.3.1 Samples for chemical analysis shall be taken from thematerial by dri
