A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.A superscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope*1.1 This specification covers forged or rolled steel pi
3、peflanges, forged fittings, valves, and parts suitable for use withhigh-strength transmission-service pipe. Included are flanges,fittings, and similar parts ordered either to dimensions specifiedby the purchaser or to ASME or MSS dimensional standardsreferenced in Section 2.1.2 Several grades of mat
4、erial, based on minimum yieldstrength requirements, are covered, as indicated in Table 1.1.3 Supplementary Requirements are provided. Supplemen-tary Requirement S 1 is provided for use when purchaserapproval is required for repair welding.1.4 This specification is expressed in both inch-pound unitsa
5、nd in SI units. However, unless the order specifies theapplicable “M” specification designation (SI units), the mate-rial shall be furnished to inch-pound units.1.5 The values stated in either inch-pound units or SI unitsare to be regarded separately as standard. Within the text, theSI units are sho
6、wn in brackets. The values stated in eachsystem are not exact equivalents; therefore, each system mustbe used independently of the other. Combining values from thetwo systems may result in nonconformance with the specifi-cation.2. Referenced Documents2.1 In addition to those reference documents list

Ordering Information3.1 It is the purchasers responsibility to specify in thepurchase order all ordering informati
16、on necessary to purchasethe needed material. In addition to the ordering guidelines inSpecification A 961, orders should include the following infor-mation:3.1.1 Additional requirements (see 8.1 and 10.1).4. General Requirements4.1 Product furnished to this specification shall conform tothe requirem
17、ents of Specification A 961, including any supple-mentary requirements that are indicated in the purchase order.Failure to comply with the general requirements of Specifica-tion A 961 constitutes nonconformance with this specification.In case of conflict between the requirements of this specifica-ti
18、on and Specification A 961, this specification shall prevail.5. Manufacture5.1 Melting Process:5.1.1 The steel shall be made by any of the followingprocesses: open hearth, electric furnace, or basic oxygen. Thesteel shall be fully deoxidized.5.1.2 The steel shall be carbon steel, high-strength low-a
19、lloysteel, or alloy steel, as agreed upon between the manufacturerand purchaser. Analysis of the steel used, including all alloyingelements, shall be reported by the manufacturer to the pur-chaser. The steel shall be suitable for field welding (asestablished by the purchaser) to other fittings, valv
20、e materialsand flanges, and to pipe manufactured under the followingASTM specifications: Specification A 53, Specification A 106,Specification A 381, and API Standard 5L pipe, as well as tofittings manufactured under MSS SP-75.5.2 Manufacturing Practice:5.2.1 Material for forgings shall consist of i
21、ngots or blooms,billets, slabs, or bars of forged or rolled form and cut to therequired length by a suitable process.5.2.2 The finished product shall be a forging as defined inthe Terminology section of Specification A 788.5.2.3 Hot working shall be sufficient to develop a wroughtstructure throughou
22、t the part.5.2.4 Flanges shall not be machined directly from plate norfrom solid bar stock.5.3 Heat Treatment:5.3.1 All items shall be heat treated. Heat treatment ofcarbon steel and high-strength low-alloy steel may consist ofnormalizing, normalizing-and-tempering, or quenching-and-tempering. Heat

Tensile Requirements7.1 The material shall conform to the requirements as totensile properties prescribed in Table 1, when tested in accor-dance with the mechanical testing requirements of Specifica-tion A 961.7.2 The tension test specimen shall be obtained from aproducti
27、on forging, or from an integral prolongation represen-tative of the hub location of a flange, or the heaviest crosssection of a fitting, valve, or other part within the scope of thisspecification. Alternatively, the test specimen may be takenfrom a separately forged test block which has been taken f
28、romthe same heat of steel as the production forgings, and which hasbeen reduced by forging in a manner similar to that for theforgings it represents.7.2.1 The test specimen shall represent all forgings from thesame heat and heat treatment load whose maximum thick-nesses do not exceed the thickness o
29、f the test forging or blankby more than14 in. 6 mm.7.3 The axis of the tension test sample shall be located in thetest forging, or prolongation so as to represent mid-wall of theflange hub, or mid-wall of the thickest cross section of thevalve, fitting, or other part.7.4 The axis of the tension test
30、 specimen shall be orientedparallel to the direction of maximum forging work for fittings,valves, and other parts, except for flanges when the specimenshall be oriented in the tangential direction.7.5 One tension test shall be taken from each heat in eachheat treatment load, and shall be representat
31、ive of the largestflange hub, or valve or fitting wall thickness in the load.7.6 When heat treatment is done either continuous or batchtype furnaces in which the working zones are controlled towithin +/- 25F +/- 14C of the required heat treatmenttemperature, and when the furnace is equipped with fun
32、ction-ing recording pyrometers such that complete heat treatmentrecords are available, then one tension test from each heat shallbe required instead of from each heat in each heat treatment5Available from American Petroleum Institute, 1801 K St. N.
