2、 case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.A superscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the U.S. Department of Defense.1. Scope*1.1
3、This specification covers grades of seamless, welded,and heavily cold worked welded austenitic and ferritic/austenitic stainless steel sanitary tubing intended for use in thedairy and food industry and having special surface finishes.Pharmaceutical quality may be requested, as a supplementaryrequire
4、ment.1.2 This specification covers tubes in sizes up to andincluding 12 in. 300 mm in outside diameter.1.3 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated ineach system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, eachsystem shall be u
5、sed independently of the other. Combiningvalues from the two systems may result in non-conformancewith the standard.1.4 Optional supplementary requirements are provided, andwhen one or more of these are desired, each shall be so statedin the order.2.

General Requirements5.1 Material furnished under this specification shall con-form to the applicable requirements of the current edition ofSpecification A1016/A1016M, unless otherwise providedherein.6. Manufacture6.1 The tubes shall be manufactured by one of the followingprocesses:6.1.
17、1 Seamless (SML) tubes shall be made by a process thatdoes not involve welding at any stage.6.1.2 Welded (WLD) tubes shall be made using an auto-mated welding process with no addition of filler metal duringthe welding process.6.1.3 Heavily cold worked (HCW) tubes shall be made byapplying cold workin
18、g of not less than 35 % reduction ofthickness of both wall and weld to a welded tube prior to thefinal anneal. No filler shall be used in making the weld. Priorto cold working, the weld shall be 100 % radiographicallyinspected in accordance with the requirements ofASME Boilerand Pressure Vessel Code
19、 Section VIII, Division 1, latestrevision, Paragraph UW 51.6.2 At the manufacturers option, tubing may be furnishedeither hot finished or cold finished.7. Heat Treatment7.1 All material shall be furnished in the heat-treatedcondition. The heat treatment procedure, except for S31803,S32003, S32205, S
20、32750, N08926 and N08367, shall consistof heating the material to a minimum temperature of 1900 F1040 C and quenching in water or rapid cooling by othermeans.7.2 N08926 shall be heat-treated to a minimum temperatureof 2010 F 1100 C followed by quenching in water orrapidly cooling by other means. UNS

Chemical Composition8.1 An analysis of either one length of flat-rolled stock orone tube shall be ma
23、de for each heat. The chemical composi-tion thus determined shall conform to the requirements given inTable 1.9. Product Analysis9.1 When requested by the purchaser, product analysistolerance in Specification A480/A480M shall apply. The prod-uct analysis tolerance is not applicable to the carbon con
24、tent formaterial with a specified maximum carbon of 0.04 % or less.9.2 If the original test for product analysis fails, retests oftwo additional lengths of flat-rolled stock or tubes shall bemade. Both retests for the elements in question shall meet therequirements of the specification; otherwise al
25、l remainingmaterial in the heat or lot shall be rejected or, at the option ofthe producer, each length of flat-rolled stock or tube may beindividually tested for acceptance. Lengths of flat rolled stockor tubes that do not meet the requirements of the specificationshall be rejected.10. Mechanical Te
26、sts Required10.1 Reverse Flattening TestFor welded tubes, one re-verse flattening test shall be made on a specimen from each1500 ft 450 m of finished tubing.11.

27、e type of test to be usedshall be at the option of the manufacturer, unless otherwisespecified in the purchase order.12. Permissible Variations in Dimensions12.1 The following variations in dimensions shall apply:12.1.1 For tubes with a specified wall thickness of 0.049 in.1.24 mm and greater, varia
28、tions in outside diameter fromthose specified shall not exceed the amount prescribed in Table2. For tubes with a specified wall thickness less than 0.049 in.1.24 mm, the diameter tolerances shall be a matter foragreement by the manufacturer and the purchaser.12.1.2 When tubing 4 in. 100 mm outside d
29、iameter isordered, additional ovality may be required for thin walltubing. Thin wall tubing applies when the specified wall is lessthan 0.150 in. 3.8 mm. When thin wall tubing is ordered, themaximum and minimum outside diameter at any cross sectionshall deviate from the specified outside diameter by
30、 no morethan twice the permissible variation in outside diameter givenin Table 2; however, the mean diameter at that cross sectionmust still be within the given permissible variation.12.1.3 The wall thickness at any point shall not vary morethan 12.5 %, from the specified wall thickness.12.1.4 Varia
31、tions in length shall meet the requirements inTable 2 except when the Pharmaceutical Quality Tubing(Supplementary Requirement S2) is specified.13. Surface Finishes13.1 The following surface finishes may be specified:13.1.1 Mill FinishA finish without additional polishing oroperations intended to smo
