1、Designation: B491/B491M 15Standard Specification forAluminum and Aluminum-Alloy Extruded Round Tubes forGeneral-Purpose Applications1This standard is issued under the fixed designation B491/B491M; the number immediately following the designation indicates the yearof original adoption or, in the case
2、 of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.A superscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope*1.1 This specification covers aluminum and aluminum-alloyextruded round tubes either in coils o
3、r straight lengths, forgeneral purpose applications such as refrigeration service, gaslines, oil lines, and instrument lines, in the alloys (Note 2) andtempers shown in Table 2 Table 3, in outside diameters of0.250 through 0.750 in. 6.00 through 20.00 mm. For diam-eters over 0.500 through 0.750 in.
4、over 12.50 through20.00 mm, the diameter and wall-thickness tolerances andeddy-current test parameters, if required, shall be agreed uponby the producer and the purchaser. Only tubes in aluminum1200-H111 and 1235-H111 are sized after extrusion to mini-mize ovalness.1.2 Alloy and temper designations
5、are in accordance withANSI H35.1/H35.1(M). The equivalent Unified NumberingSystem alloy designations are those of Table 1 preceded by A9(for example, A91050 for aluminum 1050), in accordance withPractice E527.NOTE 1For extruded tubes see Specification B221, and for drawntubes for general-purpose app
6、lications see Specification B483.NOTE 2Throughout this specification the term alloy in the generalsense includes aluminum as well as aluminum alloy.NOTE 3For inch-pound orders specify B491; for metric orders specifyB491M. Do not mix units.1.3 For acceptance criteria for inclusion of new aluminumand
7、aluminum alloys in this specification, see Annex A2.1.4 The values stated in either inch-pound or SI units are tobe regarded separately as standards. The SI units are showneither in brackets or in separate tables. The values stated ineach system are not exact equivalents; therefore, each systemmust
8、be used independently of the other. Combining valuesfrom two systems will result in nonconformance with thespecification.2.
