3、Scope*1.1 This specification2covers aluminum and aluminumal-loy seamless pipe in the alloys (Note 1) and tempers shown inTable 1 Table 2 and seamless extruded round tube in thealloys and tempers shown in Table 3 Table 4 intended forpressure applications. The standard sizes for seamless pipe areliste
4、d in Table 16.7 of ANSI H35.2 and H35.2(M). Nonstan-dard alloys, tempers, and sizes of pipe are produced asseamless extruded tube. Also included in this standard areseamless extruded pipe and seamless extruded tube for Oil for extruded tubes, Specifications B221 and B221M; for drawnseamless tubes fo
5、r condensers and heat exchangers, Specifications B234and B234M; for seamless condenser and heat exchanger tubes withintegral fins, Specification B429/B429M; and for drawn tube for generalpurpose applications, Specifications B483/B483M.1.2 Alloy and temper designations are in accordance withANSI H35.

The equivalent Unified NumberingSystem alloy designations are those of Table 5 preceded byA9,for example, A91100 for aluminum 1100 in accordance withPractice E527.1.3 For acceptance criteria for inclusion of new aluminumand aluminum alloys in this specification, see Annex A2.1.4 The valu
7、es 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 used independently of the other. Combiningvalues from the two systems may result in non-conformancewith the standard
