General Requirements4.1 Material furnished under this specification shall con-form to the applicable requirements of the current edition ofSpecification
15、 A999/A999M, unless otherwise provided herein.5. Materials and Manufacture5.1 The tubing may be supplied in the as cast condition or ascast with machining on the outside or inside surfaces, ormachined, as agreed upon between the manufacturer and thepurchaser.5.2 Heat treatment of the tubing shall no
16、t be required underthis specification.6. Chemical Requirements6.1 The material shall conform to the requirements as tochemical composition as prescribed in Table 1.7. Tensile Properties7.1 Tension tests at room temperature are not recommendedas acceptance criteria under this specification since the
17、alloysare intended for elevated-temperature service, and room-temperature tests do not have a dependable relationship toelevated-temperature properties. (Where the design of thetubing is based on an assumption of certain minimum creep-rupture properties, one of the supplementary requirements ofthis
18、specification may be stipulated on the order to ascertain theability of the material to meet the design properties.)8. Permissible Variation in Dimensions8.1 Machined Tubing (Tubing Machined on Inside andOutside):8.1.1 The tolerances given in Specification A999/A999Mshall govern, except that the wal
19、l thickness shall not vary overthe specified minimum wall thickness by more than 10 % or116 in. 1.6 mm, whichever is greater. There shall be novariation under the specified minimum wall thickness.8.2 As-Cast Tubing (No Machining or Machined on Insideor Outside):8.2.1 Outside Diameter (For Tubes Orde
20、red to OutsideDiameter):8.2.1.1 Tubes machined on the outside shall meet therequirements of Specification A999/A999M.8.2.1.2 Tubes not machined on the outside shall meet thepermissible variations of Table 2.8.2.2 Inside Diameter (For Tubes Ordered to Inside Diam-eter):8.2.2.1 Tubes machined on the i
21、nside shall meet the require-ments of Specification A999/A999M.8.2.2.2 Tubes not machined on the inside shall have permis-sible variations as agreed upon by the purchaser and themanufacturer.8.2.3 Wall ThicknessThe wall thickness shall not exceedthe calculated minimum as cast wall thickness by more
22、than thelimits shown in Table 3. The calculated minimum wall thick-ness shall be equal to the specified minimum wall thicknessplus the manufacturers allowance for “inside surface feedmetal” and outside surface roughness. Upon request, themanufacturers allowance shall be furnished to the purchaser.Th
23、ere shall be no variation under the calculated minimum ascast wall thickness. For tubes over 24 up to and including 54 in.600 to 1350 mm in diameter the “permissible variations overspecified minimum as cast wall thickness” shall be agreed uponby the manufacturer and the purchaser.8.2.4 LengthIf defi
24、nite lengths are ordered, no length oftubing shall be under the length specified and not longer thanthe tolerance shown in Table 4.TABLE 1 Chemical RequirementsGrade Composition, %Carbon Manganese Silicon Chromium Nickel Phosphorus Sulfur MolybdenumHC30 0.250.35 0.51.0 0.502.00 2630 4.0 max 0.04 max
