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
3、1. Scope1.1 This specification covers ductile iron castings forpressure-retaining parts for use at elevated temperatures. Cast-ings of all grades are suitable for use up to 450F. Fortemperatures above 450F and up to 650F, only Grade604018 castings are suitable (Note 1).1.2 Valves, flanges, pipe fit
4、tings, pumps, and other pipingcomponents are generally manufactured in advance and sup-plied from stock by the manufacturer, jobber, or dealer.1.3 For supplemental casting requirements, SpecificationA834 may be utilized.1.4 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded s
5、eparately as standard. The values stated ineach system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, eachsystem shall be used independently of the other. Combiningvalues from the two systems may result in non-conformancewith the standard.NOTE 1For service other than as specified in this section, referenc

29、shallbe tested to such pressures as may be agreed upon by themanufacturer and the purchaser.7.4.4 For castings Grade 60-40-18, it is realized that thefoundry may be unable to perform the hydrostatic test prior toshipment, or that the purchaser may wish to defer testing untiladditional work or machin
30、ing has been performed on thecasting. Castings ordered in the rough state for final machiningby the purchaser may be tested hydrostatically prior to ship-ment by the manufacturer at pressures to be agreed upon withthe purchaser. However, the foundry is responsible for thesatisfactory performance of
31、the castings under the final hydro-static test.8. Workmanship and Finish8.1 The surface of the casting shall be examined visuallyand shall be free from adhering sand, scale, cracks, and hottears.
