3、e.1. Scope*1.1 This specification2covers seamless, straight-seamwelded, and heavily cold worked welded austenitic stainlesssteel pipe intended for high-temperature and general corrosiveservice.NOTE 1When the impact test criterion for a low-temperature servicewould be 15 ftlbf 20 J energy absorption
4、or 15 mils 0.38 mm lateralexpansion, some of the austenitic stainless steel grades covered by thisspecification are accepted by certain pressure vessel or piping codeswithout the necessity of making the actual test. For example, GradesTP304, TP304L, and TP347 are accepted by the ASME Pressure Vessel
5、Code, Section VIII Division 1, and by the Chemical Plant and RefineryPiping Code, ANSI B31.3, for service at temperatures as low as 425 F250 C without qualification by impact tests. Other AISI stainless steelgrades are usually accepted for service temperatures as low as 325 F200 C without impact tes
6、ting. Impact testing may, under certaincircumstances, be required. For example, materials with chromium ornickel content outside the AISI ranges, and for material with carboncontent exceeding 0.10 %, are required to be impact tested under the rulesof ASME Section VIII Division 1 when service tempera
7、tures are lowerthan 50 F 45 C.1.2 Grades TP304H, TP309H, TP309HCb, TP310H,TP310HCb, TP316H, TP321H, TP347H, and TP348H aremodifications of Grades TP304, TP309Cb, TP309S, TP310Cb,TP310S, TP316, TP321, TP347, and TP348, and are intendedfor service at temperatures where creep and stress ruptureproperti
8、es are important.1.3 Optional supplementary requirements are provided forpipe where a greater degree of testing is desired. Thesesupplementary requirements call for additional tests to be madeand, when desired, it is permitted to specify in the order one ormore of these supplementary requirements.1.
9、4 Table X1.1 lists the standardized dimensions of weldedand seamless stainless steel pipe as shown in ANSI B36.19.These dimensions are also applicable to heavily cold workedpipe. Pipe having other dimensions is permitted to be orderedand furnished provided such pipe complies with all otherrequiremen
10、ts of this specification.1.5 Grades TP321 and TP321H have lower strength require-ments for pipe manufactured by the seamless process innominal wall thicknesses greater than38 in. 9.5 mm.1.6 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded separately as standard. Within the
11、text, theSI units are shown in brackets. 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”d
12、esignation of this specification is specified in the order.NOTE 2The dimensionless designator NPS (nominal pipe size) hasbeen substituted in this standard for such traditional terms as “nominaldiameter,” “size,” and “nominal size.”2.

22、cation A999/A999M unless otherwise provided herein.6. Materials and Manufacture6.1 Manufacture:6.1.1 The pipe shall be manufactured by one of the follow-ing processes:6.1.2 Seamless (SML) pipe shall be made by a process thatdoes not involve welding at any stage of production.6.1.3 Welded (WLD) pipe
23、shall be made using an automaticwelding process with no addition of filler metal during thewelding process.6.1.4 Heavily cold-worked (HCW) pipe shall be made byapplying cold working of not less than 35 % reduction inthickness of both wall and weld to a welded pipe prior to thefinal anneal.
