This committee is now called the Boiler and Pressure Vessel Committee. The Committee’s function is to establish rules of safety, relating only to pressure integrity, governing the construction1 of boilers, pressure vessels, transport tanks and nuclear components, and inservice inspection for pressure integrity of nuclear components and transport tanks, and to interpret these rules when questions arise regarding their intent. This code does not address other safety issues relating to the construction of boilers, pressure vessels, transport tanks and nuclear components, and the inservice inspection of nuclear components and transport tanks. The user of the Code should refer to other pertinent codes, standards, laws, regulations, or other relevant documents. With few exceptions, the rules do not, of practical necessity, reflect the likelihood and consequences of deterioration in service related to specific service fluids or external operating environments. Recognizing this, the Committee has approved a wide variety of construction rules in this Section to allow the user or his designee to select those which will provide a pressure vessel having a margin for deterioration in service so as to give a reasonably long, safe period of usefulness. Accordingly, it is not intended that this Section be used as a design handbook; rather, engineering judgment must be employed in the selection of those sets of Code rules suitable to any specific service or need. This Code contains mandatory requirements, specific prohibitions, and nonmandatory guidance for construction activities. The Code does not address all aspects of these activities and those aspects which are not specifically addressed should not be considered prohibited. The Code is not a handbook and cannot replace education, experience, and the use of engineering judgment. The phrase engineering judgment refers to technical judgments made by knowledgeable designers experienced in the application of the Code. Engineering judgments must be consistent with Code philosophy and such judgments must never be used to overrule mandatory requirements or specific prohibitions of the Code. The Committee recognizes that tools and techniques used for design and analysis change as technology progresses and expects engineers to use good judgment in the application of these tools. The designer is responsible for complying with Code rules and demonstrating compliance with Code equations when such equations are mandatory. The Code neither requires nor prohibits the use of computers for the design or analysis of components constructed to the requirements of the Code. However, designers and engineers using computer programs for design or analysis are cautioned that they are responsible for all technical assumptions inherent in the programs they use and they are responsible for the application of these programs to their design. The Code does not fully address tolerances. When dimensions, sizes, or other parameters are not specified with tolerances, the values of these parameters are considered nominal and allowable tolerances or local variances may be considered acceptable when based on engineering judgment and standard practices as determined by the designer. The Boiler and Pressure Vessel Committee deals with the care and inspection of boilers and pressure vessels in service only to the extent of providing suggested rules of good practice as an aid to owners and their inspectors. The rules established by the Committee are not to be interpreted as approving, recommending, or endorsing any proprietary or specific design or as limiting in any way the manufacturer’s freedom to choose any method of design or any form of construction that conforms to the Code rules. The Boiler and Pressure Vessel Committee meets regularly to consider revisions of the rules, new rules as dictated by technological development, Code Cases, and requests for interpretations. Only the Boiler and Pressure Vessel Committee has the authority to provide official interpretations of this Code. Requests for revisions, new rules, Code Cases, or interpretations shall be addressed to the Secretary in writing and shall give full particulars in order to receive consideration and action (see Mandatory Appendix covering preparation of technical inquiries). Proposed revisions to the Code resulting from inquiries 1 Construction, as used in this Foreword, is an all-inclusive term comprising materials, design, fabrication, examination, inspection, testing, certification, and pressure relief. xi Copyright ASME International Provided by IHS under license with ASME No reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS Not for Resale 04 will be presented to the Main Committee for appropriate action. The action of the Main Committee becomes effective only after confirmation by letter ballot of the Committee and approval by ASME. Proposed revisions to the Code approved by the Committee are submitted to the American National Standards Institute and published at http://cstools.asme.org/wbpms/ public/index.cfm?PublicReviewpRevisions to invite comments from all interested persons. After the allotted time for public review and final approval by ASME, revisions are published annually in Addenda to the Code. Code Cases may be used in the construction of components to be stamped with the ASME Code symbol beginning with the date of their approval by ASME. After Code revisions are approved by ASME, they may be used beginning with the date of issuance shown on the Addenda. Revisions, except for revisions to material specifications in Section II, Parts A and B, become mandatory six months after such date of issuance, except for boilers or pressure vessels contracted for prior to the end of the six-month period. Revisions to material specifications are originated by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) and other recognized national or international organizations, and are usually adopted by ASME. However, those revisions may or may not have any effect on the suitability of material, produced to earlier editions of specifications, for use in ASME construction. ASME material specifications approved for use in each construction Code are listed in the Guidelines for Acceptable ASTM Editions in Section II, Parts A and B. These Guidelines list, for each specification, the latest edition adopted by ASME, and earlier and later editions considered by ASME to be identical for ASME construction. The Boiler and Pressure Vessel Committee in the formulation of its rules and in the establishment of maximum design and operating pressures considers materials, construction, methods of fabrication, inspection, and safety devices. The Code Committee does not rule on whether a component shall or shall not be constructed to the provisions of the Code. The Scope of each Section has been established to identify the components and parameters considered by the Committee in formulating the Code rules. Questions or issues regarding compliance of a specific component with the Code rules are to be directed to the ASME Certificate Holder (Manufacturer). Inquiries concerning the interpretation of the Code are to be directed to the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Committee. ASME is to be notified should questions arise concerning improper use of an ASME Code symbol. The specifications for materials given in Section II are identical with or similar to those of specifications published by ASTM, AWS, and other recognized national or international organizations. When reference is made in an ASME material specification to a non-ASME specification for which a companion ASME specification exists, the reference shall be interpreted as applying to the ASME material specification. Not all materials included in the material specifications in Section II have been adopted for Code use. Usage is limited to those materials and grades adopted by at least one of the other Sections of the Code for application under rules of that Section. All materials allowed by these various Sections and used for construction within the scope of their rules shall be furnished in accordance with material specifications contained in Section II or referenced in the Guidelines for Acceptable ASTM Editions in Section II, Parts A and B, except where otherwise provided in Code Cases or in the applicable Section of the Code. Materials covered by these specifications are acceptable for use in items covered by the Code Sections only to the degree indicated in the applicable Section. Materials for Code use should preferably be ordered, produced, and documented on this basis; Guideline for Acceptable ASTM Editions in Section II, Part A and Guideline for Acceptable ASTM Editions in Section II, Part B list editions of ASME and year dates of specifications that meet ASME requirements and which may be used in Code construction. Material produced to an acceptable specification with requirements different from the requirements of the corresponding specifications listed in the Guideline for Acceptable ASTM Editions in Part A or Part B may also be used in accordance with the above, provided the material manufacturer or vessel manufacturer certifies with evidence acceptable to the Authorized Inspector that the corresponding requirements of specifications listed in the Guideline for Acceptable ASTM Editions in Part A or Part B have been met. Material produced to an acceptable material specification is not limited as to country of origin. When required by context in this Section, the singular shall be interpreted as the plural, and vice-versa; and the feminine, masculine, or neuter gender shall be treated as such other gender as appropriate. Either U.S. Customary units or SI units may be used for compliance with all requirements of this edition, but one system shall be used consistently throughout for all phases of construction. Either the U.S. Customary units or SI units that are listed in Mandatory Appendix I are identified in the text, or are identified in the nomenclature for equations, shall be used consistently for all phases of construction (e.g. materials, design, fabrication, and reports). Since values in the two systems are not exact equivalents, each system shall be used independently of the other without mixing U.S. Customary units and SI units. xii Copyright ASME International Provided by IHS under license with ASME No reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS Not for Resale When SI units are selected, U.S. Customary values in referenced specifications that do not contain SI units shall be converted to SI values to at least three significant figures for use in calculations and other aspects of construction. With the publication of the 2004 Edition, Section II, Part D is published as two separate publications. One publication contains values only in U.S. Customary units and the other contains values only in SI units. The selection of the version to use is dependent on the set of units selected for construction. xiii Copyright ASME International Provided by IHS under license with ASME No reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS Not for Resale xiv Copyright ASME International Provided by IHS under license with ASME No reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS Not for Resale STATEMENT OF POLICY ON THE USE OF CODE SYMBOLS AND CODE AUTHORIZATION IN ADVERTISING ASME has established procedures to authorize qualified organizations to perform various activities in accordance with the requirements of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code. It is the aim of the Society to provide recognition of organizations so authorized. An organization holding authorization to perform various activities in accordance with the requirements of the Code may state this capability in its advertising literature. Organizations that are authorized to use Code Symbols for marking items or constructions that have been constructed and inspected in compliance with the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code are issued Certificates of Authorization. It is the aim of the Society to maintain the standing of the Code Symbols for the benefit of the users, the enforcement jurisdictions, and the holders of the symbols who comply with all requirements. Based on these objectives, the following policy has been established on the usage in advertising of facsimiles of the symbols, Certificates of Authorization, and reference to Code construction. The American Society of Mechanical Engineers does not “approve,” “certify,” “rate,” or “endorse” any item, construction, or activity and there shall be no statements or implications that might so indicate. An organization holding a Code Symbol and /or a Certificate of Authorization may state in advertising literature that items, constructions, or activities “are built (produced or performed) or activities conducted in accordance with the requirements of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code,” or “meet the requirements of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code.” The ASME Symbol shall be used only for stamping and nameplates as specifically provided in the Code. However, facsimiles may be used for the purpose of fostering the use of such construction. Such usage may be by an association or a society, or by a holder of a Code Symbol who may also use the facsimile in advertising to show that clearly specified items will carry the symbol. General usage is permitted only when all of a manufacturer’s items are constructed under the rules. The ASME logo, which is the cloverleaf with the letters ASME within, shall not be used by any organization other than ASME. STATEMENT OF POLICY ON THE USE OF ASME MARKING TO IDENTIFY MANUFACTURED ITEMS Symbols shall not be used on any item that is not constructed in accordance with all of the applicable requirements of the Code. Items shall not be described on ASME Data Report Forms nor on similar forms referring to ASME that tend to imply that all Code requirements have been met when, in fact, they have not been. Data Report Forms covering items not fully complying with ASME requirements should not refer to ASME or they should clearly identify all exceptions to the ASME requirements. The ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code provides rules for the construction of boilers, pressure vessels, and nuclear components. This includes requirements for materials, design, fabrication, examination, inspection, and stamping. Items constructed in accordance with all of the applicable rules of the Code are identified with the official Code Symbol Stamp described in the governing Section of the Code. Markings such as “ASME,” “ASME Standard,” or any other marking including “ASME” or the various Code xv Copyright ASME International Provided by IHS under license with ASME No reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS Not for Resale xvi Copyright ASME International Provided by IHS under license with ASME No reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS Not for Resale PERSONNEL ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Committee Subcommittees, Subgroups, and Working Groups As of January 1, 2004 MAIN COMMITTEE G.

Section II, Parts A and B, currently contain many material specifications which are identical with the corresponding ASTM specifications and some which have been modified for Code usage. In 1969, the American Welding Society began publication of specifications for welding rods, electrodes, and filler metals, hitherto issued by ASTM. The Boiler and Pressure Vessel Committee has recognized this new arrangement, and is now working with AWS on these specifications. Section II, Part C, contains the welding material specifications approved for Code use. In 1992, the ASME Board of Pressure Technology Codes and Standards endorsed the use of non-ASTM material for Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code applications. It is the intent to follow the procedures and practices currently in use to implement the adoption of non-ASTM materials. All identical specifications are indicated by the ASME /originating organization symbols. The specifications prepared and copyrighted by ASTM, AWS, and other originating organizations are reproduced in the Code with the permission of the respective Society. The ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Committee has given careful consideration to each new and revised specification, and has made such changes as they deemed necessary to make the specification adaptable for Code usage. In addition, ASME has furnished ASTM with the basic requirements that should govern many proposed new specifications. Joint action will continue an effort to make the ASTM, AWS, and ASME specifications identical. To assure that there will be a clear understanding on the part of the users of Section II, ASME publishes both the identical specifications and those amended for Code usage in three parts every three years, in the same page size to match the other sections of the Code, and Addenda are issued annually to provide the latest changes in Section II specifications. The ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code has been adopted into law by 49 states and many municipalities in the United States and by all of the Canadian provinces. The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) and the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) have cooperated for more than fifty years in the preparation of material specifications adequate for safety in the field of pressure equipment for ferrous and nonferrous materials, contained in Section II (Part A — Ferrous and Part B — Nonferrous) of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code. The evolution of this cooperative effort is contained in Professor A. M. Greene’s “History of the ASME Boiler Code,” which was published as a series of articles in Mechanical Engineering from July 1952 through August 1953 and is now available from ASME in a special bound edition. The following quotations from this history, which was based upon the minutes of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Committee, will help focus on the cooperative nature of the specifications found in Section II, Material Specifications. “General discussion of material specifications comprising Paragraphs 1 to 112 of Part 2 and the advisability of having them agree with ASTM specifications,” (1914). “ASME Subcommittee appointed to confer with ASTM,” (1916). “Because of this cooperation the specifications of the 1918 Edition of the ASME Boiler Code were more nearly in agreement with ASTM specifications. In the 1924 Edition of the Code, 10 specifications were in complete agreement with ASTM specifications, 4 in substantial agreement and 2 covered materials for which ASTM had no corresponding specifications.” “In Section II, Material Specifications, the paragraphs were given new numbers beginning with S-1 and extending to S-213,” (1925). “Section II was brought into agreement with changes made in the latest ASTM specifications since 1921,” (1932). “The Subcommittee on Material Specifications arranged for the introduction of the revisions of many of the specifications so that they would agree with the latest form of the earlier ASTM specifications...,” (1935). From the preceding, it is evident that many of the material specifications were prepared by the Boiler and xxix Copyright ASME International Provided by IHS under license with ASME No reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS Not for Resale xxx Copyright ASME International Provided by IHS under license with ASME No reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS Not for Resale SPECIFICATIONS LISTED BY MATERIALS Steel Plate, Sheets and Strip SA-568/SA-568M Steel, Sheet, Carbon and High-Strength, Low-Alloy, Hot-Rolled and Cold-Rolled, General Requirements for . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1097 SA-749/SA-749M Steel, Strip, Carbon and High-Strength Low-Alloy, Hot-Rolled General Requirements for . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1365 Steel Pipe SA-53/SA-53M SA-106 SA-134 SA-135 SA-312 /SA-312M SA-333 /SA-333M SA-335 /SA-335M SA-358 /SA-358M SA-369 /SA-369M SA-376 /SA-376M SA-409 /SA-409M SA-426 SA-430/SA-430M SA-451 SA-524 SA-530/SA-530M SA-587 SA-660 SA-671 SA-672 SA-691 SA-727/SA-727M SA-731/SA-731M SA-790/SA-790M SA-813/SA-813M SA-814/SA-814M Pipe, Steel, Black and Hot-Dipped, Zinc-Coated, Welded and Seamless . . . .

This occurs because the sponsoring society (e.g., ASTM, AWS, CEN) has notified ASME that the specification has either been replaced with another specification, or that there is no known use and production of a material. Removal of a specification from this Section also results in concurrent removal of the same specification from Section IX and from all of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Construction Codes that reference the material. This action effectively prohibits further use of the material in ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel construction. The following specification will be dropped from this Section in the next Addenda, unless information concerning current production and use of the material is received before December 1 of this year: SA-430/SA-430M-91 (discontinued by ASTM in 1995, not replaced) If you are currently using and purchasing new material to this specification for ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code construction, and if discontinuance of this specification would present a hardship, please notify the Secretary of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Committee, at the address shown below: Secretary ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Committee Three Park Avenue New York, NY 10016-5990 Tel: (212) 591-8533 Fax: (212) 591-8501 xxxix Copyright ASME International Provided by IHS under license with ASME No reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS Not for Resale 04 xl Copyright ASME International Provided by IHS under license with ASME No reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS Not for Resale PREPARATION OF TECHNICAL INQUIRIES TO THE BOILER AND PRESSURE VESSEL COMMITTEE 1-100 INTRODUCTION (b) Background. State the purpose of the inquiry, which would be either to obtain an interpretation of Code rules, or to propose consideration of a revision to the present rules. Provide concisely the information needed for the Committee’s understanding of the inquiry, being sure to include reference to the applicable Code Section, Division, Edition, Addenda, paragraphs, figures, and tables. If sketches are provided, they shall be limited to the scope of the inquiry. (c) Inquiry Structure. Prepare statements in a condensed and precise question format, omitting superfluous background information, and, where appropriate, composed in such a way that “yes” or “no” (perhaps with provisos) would be an acceptable reply. This inquiry statement should be technically and editorially correct. (d) Proposed Reply. State what it is believed that the Code requires. If in the inquirer’s opinion a revision to the Code is needed, recommended wording shall be provided. The ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Committee meets regularly to consider written requests for interpretations and revisions to the Code rules, and to develop new rules as dictated by technological development. The Committee’s activities in this regard are limited strictly to interpretations of the rules or to the consideration of revisions to the present rules on the basis of new data or technology. As a matter of published policy, ASME does not approve, certify, rate, or endorse any item, construction, proprietary device, or activity, and, accordingly, inquiries requiring such consideration will be returned. Moreover, ASME does not act as a consultant on specific engineering problems or on the general application or understanding of the Code rules. If, based on the inquiry information submitted, it is the opinion of the Committee that the inquirer should seek assistance, the inquiry will be returned with the recommendation that such assistance be obtained. All inquiries that do not provide the information needed for the Committee’s full understanding will be returned. 1-300 1-200 Inquiries shall preferably be submitted in typewritten form; however, legible handwritten inquiries will also be considered. They shall include the name and mailing address of the inquirer, and be mailed to the following address: Secretary ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Committee Three Park Avenue New York, NY 10016-5990 INQUIRY FORMAT Inquiries shall be limited strictly to interpretations of the rules or to the consideration of revisions to the present rules on the basis of new data or technology. Inquiries shall be submitted in the following format. (a) Scope. Involve a single rule or closely related rules. An inquiry letter concerning unrelated subjects will be returned. xli Copyright ASME International Provided by IHS under license with ASME No reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS SUBMITTAL Not for Resale xlii Copyright ASME International Provided by IHS under license with ASME No reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS Not for Resale GUIDELINE ON THE APPROVAL OF NEW MATERIALS UNDER THE ASME BOILER AND PRESSURE VESSEL CODE Code Policy. It is the policy of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Committee to adopt for inclusion in Section II only such specifications as have been adopted by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), by the American Welding Society (AWS), and by other recognized national or international organizations. It is expected that requests for Code approval will normally be for materials for which there is a recognized national or international specification. For materials made to a recognized national or international specification other than those of ASTM or AWS, the inquirer shall give notice to the standards developing organization that a request has been made to ASME for adoption of their specification under the ASME Code and shall request that the organization grant ASME permission to reprint the specification. For other materials, a request shall be made to ASTM, AWS, or a recognized national or international organization to develop a specification that can be presented to the Code Committee. It is the policy of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Committee to consider requests to adopt new materials only from boiler, pressure vessel, or nuclear power plant component Manufacturers or end users. Further, such requests should be for materials for which there is a reasonable expectation of use in a boiler, pressure vessel, or nuclear power plant component constructed to the rules of one of the Sections of this Code. Application. The inquirer shall identify to the Committee the Section or Sections and Divisions of the Code in which the new material is to be incorporated, the temperature range of application, whether cyclic service is to be considered, and whether external pressure service is to be considered. The inquirer shall identify all product forms, size ranges, and specifications for which incorporation is desired. Mechanical Properties. Together with the specification for the material, the inquirer shall furnish the Committee with adequate data on which to base design values for inclusion in the applicable tables. The data shall include values of ultimate tensile strength, yield strength, reduction of area, and elongation, at 100°F (or 50°C) intervals, from room temperature to 100°F (or 50°C) above the maximum intended use temperature, unless the maximum intended use temperature does not exceed 100°F. Any heat treatment that is required to produce the mechanical properties should be fully described. If adoption is desired at temperatures at which timedependent behavior may be expected to control design values, stress-rupture and creep rate data for these timedependent properties shall be provided, starting at temperatures about 50°F (or 25°C) below the temperature where time-dependent properties may govern (see Appendix 1 of Section II, Part D) and extending to about 100°F (or 50°C) above the maximum intended use temperature. The longest rupture time at each test temperature must be in excess of 6000 hr and the shortest about 100 hr, with at least three additional tests at stresses selected to provide rupture times nominally equally spaced in log (time); i.e., times nominally of 100, 300, 800, 2200, and 6000 hr at each test temperature. Obviously, longer times and additional tests are beneficial. The interval between successive test temperatures shall be chosen such that rupture lives shall not differ by more than a factor of about 10 at any given stress for two adjacent temperatures. In general, test temperatures should be in about 50°F (or 25°C) intervals if maximum test times are no longer than 6000 hr. The goal of the testing is to facilitate data analysis to estimate the average and minimum stresses for rupture in 100,000 hr and an average creep rate of 10−5 %/hr for each temperature where design stresses are established. Alternative test plans that deviate from the prior description but achieve the overall objective may be considered. Minimum creep rate data shall be provided over the same range of temperatures as above, with the lowest stress at each temperature selected, to achieve a minimum creep rate of 1.0 to 2.0 ⴛ 10− 4 %/hr or less. Creep rate data may be obtained in the course of stress-rupture testing or may be obtained on additional specimens. If it can be conclusively demonstrated that creep rate does xliii Copyright ASME International Provided by IHS under license with ASME No reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS Not for Resale not control the design stresses, the creep rate data may be sparse in relation to the stress-rupture data. Submission of creep curves for evaluation of creep rate behavior is acceptable and encouraged. For materials that will be used in welded applications, sufficient time-dependent data shall be provided for weldments and filler metals to allow ASME to assess the properties in comparison with the base material. In the time-dependent range, this includes providing stress-rupture data for specimen tests in excess of 6000 hr at each temperature and for each welding process. In addition, minimum creep rate data on filler metals shall also be provided to rates below 1.0 to 2.0 ⴛ 10− 4 %/hr. If adoption at temperatures below room temperature is requested, and if it is desired to take design advantage of increased strength at lower temperatures, data on the time-independent properties shall be provided at 100°F (or 50°C) intervals to and including the lowest intended use temperature. Notch toughness data shall be provided for materials for which Code toughness rules would be expected to apply. The data shall include test results for the intended lowest service metal temperature and for the range of material thicknesses desired. For welded construction, the notch toughness data shall include the results of Code toughness tests for weld metal and heat-affected zone for weldments made by the intended welding processes. If the material is to be used in components that operate under external pressure, stress–strain curves (tension or compression) shall be furnished, at 100°F (or 50°C) intervals over the range of design temperatures desired. External pressure charts are based on the early portion (up to 1% strain) of the stress–strain curve. The stress–strain curve (not load versus extension) shall be determined using a Class B-2 or better accuracy extensometer as defined in ASTM E 83. Numerical data, when available, should be submitted. The data should include the original cross-sectional area of the test specimen and stress–strain curves with units marked on them. If the material is to be used in cyclic service and the construction Code in which adoption is desired requires explicit consideration of cyclic behavior, fatigue data shall also be furnished over the range of design temperatures desired. In general, for all mechanical properties, data shall be provided from at least three heats of material meeting all of the requirements of a specification for at least one product form for which adoption is desired, for each test at each test temperature. When adoption for both cast and wrought product forms is desired, data from at least three heats each of a wrought and of a cast product form shall be submitted. It is desired that the data represent all product forms for which adoption is desired. For product forms for which the properties may be size dependent, data from products of different sizes, including the largest size for which adoption is desired, shall be provided. Test methods employed shall be those referenced in or by the material specifications, or shall be appropriate ASTM test methods or recommended practices for the properties tested. Information describing service experience in the temperature range contemplated will be useful to the Committee. Other Properties. The inquirer shall furnish to the Committee adequate data necessary to establish values for coefficient of thermal expansion, thermal conductivity and diffusivity, Young’s modulus, shear modulus, and Poisson’s ratio, when the construction Code in which adoption is desired requires explicit consideration of these properties. Data shall be provided over the range of temperatures for which the material is to be used. Weldability. The inquirer shall furnish complete data on the weldability of material intended for welding, including data on procedure qualification tests made in accordance with the requirements of Section IX. Welding tests shall be made over the full range of thickness in which the material is to be used. Pertinent information, such as postweld heat treatment required, susceptibility to air hardening, effect of welding procedure and heataffected zone and weld metal notch toughness, and the amount of experience in welding the material shall be given. Physical Changes. For new materials, it is important to know the structural stability characteristics and the degree of retention of properties with exposure at temperature. The influence of fabrication practices, such as forming, welding, and thermal treatment, on the mechanical properties, ductility, and microstructure of the material are important, particularly where degradation in properties may occur. Where particular temperature ranges of exposure or heat treatment, cooling rates, combinations of mechanical working and thermal treatments, fabrication practices, exposure to particular environments, etc., cause significant changes in the mechanical properties, microstructure, resistance to brittle fracture, etc., it is of prime importance to call attention to those conditions that should be avoided in service or in manufacture of parts or vessels from the material. Requests for Additional Data. The Committee may request additional data, including data on properties or material behavior not explicitly treated in the construction Code in which adoption is desired. New Materials Checklist. To assist inquirers desiring Code coverage for new materials, or extending coverage of existing materials, the Committee has developed the following checklist of items that ought to be addressed xliv Copyright ASME International Provided by IHS under license with ASME No reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS Not for Resale Requirements for Requests for ASME Acceptance of Material Specifications of Recognized National or International Organizations Other Than ASTM or AWS. The Committee will consider only requests for specifications in the English language and in U.S. or SI/metric units. The Committee will consider accepting specifications of recognized national or international organizations, such as, but not limited to, American Petroleum Institute (API), ASTM, AWS, Canadian Standards Association (CSA), European Committee for Standardization (CEN), and Japanese Standards Association (JIS). Material specifications of other than national or international organizations, such as those of material producers and suppliers, will not be considered for acceptance. Requirements for Recognized National or International Specifications. Acceptable material specifications will be identified by date or edition. Approved edition(s) will be stated in the subtitle of the ASME specification. Eventually, acceptable previous editions will be maintained in guidelines to Section II, Parts A and B. Minimum requirements that must be contained in a material specification for which acceptance is being requested include such items as name of national or international organization, scope, reference documents, process, manufacture, conditions for delivery, heat treatment, chemical and tensile requirements, forming properties, testing specifications and requirements, workmanship, finish, marking, inspection, and rejection. Publication of Recognized National or International Specifications. Specifications for which ASME has not been given permission to publish by the originating organization will be on a cover sheet in Section II, Parts A and B. Information on obtaining a copy of those documents will be maintained in those Parts. Documents that are referenced in accepted national or international material specifications will not be published by ASME. However, information on obtaining a copy of those documents will be maintained in Section II, Parts A and B. Additions and exceptions to the material specification will be noted in the subtitle of the specification. Code Case.

Examples are SA-53 and SA-106 (some grades and classes); SA-213 TP304L and TP304; SA-213 TP304 and 304H; and SA-106 B and SA-106 C. A common inquiry topic is the permissibility of using material that is identified with two or more specifications (or grades, classes, or types), even if they have different strengths, or even if one of them is not permitted for use in the construction code of application. The Committee has addressed variants of these questions in several interpretations: I-89-11, IIA-92-08, VIII-1-89-269, and VIII1-89-197. B-200 B-220 Dual or multiple marking is not acceptable if two or more specifications to which the material is marked have mutually exclusive requirements. This prohibition includes more than just chemistry and property requirements. Examples are SA-515 and SA-516; the former requires melting to coarse grain practice while the latter requires melting to fine grain practice. Another example is SA-213 TP304L and TP304H; the carbon content ranges of these grades have no overlap. GUIDELINES The construction codes individually define what materials may be used in boilers, vessels, and components constructed in compliance to their rules. If a material meets all of the requirements for a specification for which it is marked, including documentation, if any, and if it meets all requirements for use imposed by the construction code, it may be used. The construction codes, in general, do not address the case of materials marked with more than one specification, grade, class, or type, so these guidelines are offered for clarification. B-210 B-230 GRADE SUBSTITUTION Grade substitution is not permitted. Grade substitution occurs when: (1) the material contains an element (other than nitrogen) that is unspecified for one of the grades marked; and (2) the amount of that element present in the material meets the minimum and maximum composition limits for that element in another grade of a specification contained in Section II, Part A or Part B, whether or not it is also so marked. For example, a material meets all of the composition limits for SA-240 304, contains 0.06C and 0.02N, but also contains 0.45% Ti. This material cannot be marked or provided as meeting SA-240 304 because the Ti content meets the requirements of SA-240 321 [which is, Ti greater than 5 ⴛ (C + N) but less than 0.7.]. Another material, with identical composition, except 0.35% Ti, may be marked SA-240 304 because the Ti content does not meet the minimum requirement for 321. The Ti content is just a residual. ACCEPTABILITY OF MULTIPLE MARKING Dual or multiple marking is acceptable, as long as the material so marked meets all of the requirements of all the specifications, grades, classes, and types with which it is marked. All of the measured and controlled attributes of the multiply-marked grades or specifications must overlap (e.g., chemistry, mechanical properties, dimensions, and tolerances) and the material so marked must exhibit values that fall within the overlaps. Further, the controlled but unmeasured attributes of the specifications or grades must overlap (e.g., melting practices, heat treatments, and inspection.) Many specifications or grades have significant overlap of chemistry ranges or properties. It is common for material manufacturers to produce materials that satisfy more B-240 MARKING SELECTION If a material is marked with specifications, grades, classes, or types, it may be used with the allowable lvii Copyright ASME International Provided by IHS under license with ASME No reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS PROHIBITION ON MULTIPLE MARKING Not for Resale stresses, design stress intensities, or ratings appropriate for any of the markings on the material, as long as the material specification, grade, class, and type is permitted by the code of construction governing the boiler, vessel, or component in which the material is to be used. However, once the designer has selected which marking applies (specification, grade, class types, etc.), the designer must use all the design values appropriate for that selection and may not mix and match values from any other specifications, grades, classes, types, etc., with which the material may be marked. B-250 Any other markings, such as marking of non-ASME or non-ASTM material specifications, have no relevance, even if those markings are for materials explicitly prohibited by the construction code being used. That is, as long as the one marking, and the documentation required by the material and by the construction code, shows that it meets all the requirements for use of that material in that construction code, any additional markings are irrelevant. lviii Copyright ASME International Provided by IHS under license with ASME No reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS OTHER MARKINGS Not for Resale SUMMARY OF CHANGES The 2004 Edition of this Code contains revisions in addition to the 2001 Edition with 2002 and 2003 Addenda.

Title of Specification Specification for High-Strength LowAlloy Structural Steel Plate with Low Carbon and Restricted Sulfur for Improved Weldability, Formability, and Toughness Specification for Steel for Structural Shapes for Use in Building Framing 1.12 The values stated in either inch-pound units or SI units are to be regarded as standard. Within the text, the SI units are shown in brackets. The values stated in each system are not exact equivalents; therefore, each system is to be used independently of the other, without combining values in any way. 1.2 Annex A1 lists permissible variations in dimensions and mass (Note 1) in SI (metric) units. The values listed are not exact conversions of the values in Tables 1 through 31 inclusive but are, instead, rounded or rationalized values. Conformance to Annex A1 is mandatory when the “M” specification designation is used. 1.13 This specification and the applicable material specifications are expressed in both inch-pound units and SI units. However, unless the order specifies the applicable “M” specification designation (SI units), the material shall be furnished to inch-pound units. 1.14 The text of this specification contains notes and/ or footnotes that provide explanatory material. Such notes and footnotes, excluding those tables and figures, do not contain any mandatory requirements. NOTE 1 — The term “weight” is used when inch-pound units are the standard; however, under SI, the preferred term is “mass.” 1.3 Annex A2 lists the dimensions of some shape profiles. 1.4 Appendix X1 provides information on coiled product as a source of structural plates, shapes, sheet piling, and bars. 2.

Terminology 3.1 Descriptions of Terms Specific to This Standard: 3.1.2.9 “L” shapes — shapes having equal-leg and unequal-leg angles. 3.1.1 Plates (other than floor plates or coiled product) — Flat, hot-rolled steel, classified as follows: 3.1.3 sheet piling — rolled steel sections that are capable of being interlocked, forming a continuous wall when individual pieces are driven side by side. 3.1.1.1 When Ordered to Thickness: (1) Over 8 in. [200 mm] in width and 0.230 in. [over 6 mm] or over in thickness. (2) Over 48 in. [1200 mm] in width and 0.180 in. [over 4.5 mm] or over in thickness. 3.1.1.2 When Ordered to Weight [Mass]: (1) Over 8 in. [200 mm] in width and 9.392 lb /ft2 [47.10 kg /m2] or heavier. (2) Over 48 in. [1200 mm] in width and 7.350 lb /ft2 [35.32 kg /m2] or heavier. 3.1.4 bars — rounds, squares, and hexagons, of all sizes; flats 13⁄64 in. (0.203 in.) and over [over 5 mm] in specified thickness, not over 6 in. [150 mm] in specified width; and flats 0.230 in. and over [over 6 mm] in specified thickness, over 6 to 8 in. [150 to 200 mm] inclusive, in specified width. 3.1.5 exclusive — when used in relation to ranges, as for ranges of thickness in the tables of permissible variations in dimensions, is intended to exclude only the greater value of the range. Thus, a range from 60 to 72 in. [1500 to 1800 mm] exclusive includes 60 in. [1500 mm], but does not include 72 in. [1800 mm]. 3.1.1.3 Slabs, sheet bars, and skelp, though frequently falling in the foregoing size ranges, are not classed as plates. 3.1.6 rimmed steel — steel containing sufficient oxygen to give a continuous evolution of carbon monoxide during solidification, resulting in a case or rim of metal virtually free of voids. 3.1.1.4 Coiled product is excluded from qualification to individual material specifications governed by this specification until decoiled, leveled, cut to length, and, if required, properly tested by the processor in accordance with ASTM specification requirements (see 6.4.2 and the individual material specification). 3.1.7 semi-killed steel — incompletely deoxidized steel containing sufficient oxygen to form enough carbon monoxide during solidification to offset solidification shrinkage. 3.1.2 Shapes (Flanged Sections): 3.1.2.1 structural-size shapes — rolled flanged sections having at least one dimension of the cross section 3 in. [75 mm] or greater. Structural shape size groupings used for tensile property classification are listed in Table A. 3.1.8 capped steel — rimmed steel in which the rimming action is limited by an early capping operation.

[600 mm], test specimens shall be taken such that the longitudinal axis of the specimen is transverse to the final direction of rolling of the plate. Test specimens for all other products shall be taken such that the longitudinal axis of the specimen is parallel to the final direction of rolling. 11.4 For full-section test specimens of angles, the cross-sectional area used for calculating the yield and tensile strengths shall be a theoretical area calculated on the basis of the weight of the test specimen (see 13.1). 12.3 Location: 12.3.1 Plates — Test specimens shall be taken from a corner of the plate. 12.3.2 W, HP, S, and M Shapes with Flanges 6 in.

[12.5-mm] increment of thickness over 3.5 in. [90 mm]. This deduction shall not exceed 3 percentage points. Accordingly, the following deductions from the base elongation requirements shall apply: 12.5.3.4 For bars other than those to be used for pins and rollers, the manufacturer or processor shall have the option of using test specimens that are machined to a thickness or diameter of at least 3⁄4 in.

[200-mm] gage length test specimen falls not more than 3 percentage points below the amount prescribed, the elongation shall be considered satisfactory, provided the percentage of elongation in 2 in. [50 mm] across the break is not less than 25%. 12.6 Elongation Requirement Adjustments: 12.6.1 Due to the specimen geometry effect encountered when using the rectangular tension test specimen for testing thin material, adjustments in elongation requirements must be provided for thicknesses under 0.312 in. [8 mm]. Accordingly, the following deductions from the base elongation requirements shall apply: Nominal Thickness Range, in.

[mm] NOTE 6 — A characteristic of certain types of alloy steels is a local disproportionate increase in the degree of necking down or contraction of the specimens under tension test, resulting in a decrease in the percentage of elongation as the gage length is increased. The effect is not so pronounced in the thicker plates. Elongation Deduction, %A 0.5 1.0 1.5 2.0 2.5 3.0 3.5 4.0 4.5 5.0 5.5 6.0 6.5 7.0 7.5 12.6.5 The tensile property requirements tables in many of the material specifications covered by this general specification specify elongation requirements in both 8-in. [200-mm] and 2-in. [50-mm] gage lengths. Unless otherwise provided in the individual material specification, both requirements are not required to be applied simultaneously and elongation need only be determined in gage length appropriate for the test specimen used. After selection of the appropriate gage length, the elongation requirement for the alternative gage length shall be deemed not applicable. 12.7 Yield Strength Application: A Elongation deductions for thicknesses less than 0.180 in. [4.60 mm] apply to structural shapes only. 12.7.1 When test specimens do not exhibit a welldefined disproportionate yield point, yield strength shall be determined and substituted for yield point. 12.6.2 Due to the specimen geometry effect encountered when using full-section test specimens for angles, the elongation requirements for structural-size angles shall be increased by six percentage points when full-section test specimens are used. 12.7.2 The manufacturer or processor shall have the option of substituting yield strength for yield point if the test specimen exhibits a well-defined disproportionate yield point. 12.6.3 Due to the inherently lower elongation that is obtainable in thicker material, adjustments in elongation requirements must be provided. For material over 3.5 in. [90 mm] in thickness, a deduction of 0.5 percentage point 12.7.3 Yield strength shall be determined either by the 0.2% offset method or by the 0.5% extension-underload method. 12 --`,,```,,,,````-`-`,,`,,`,`,,`--- Copyright ASME International Provided by IHS under license with ASME No reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS Not for Resale --`,,```,,,,````-`-`,,`,,`,`,,`--- PART A — FERROUS MATERIAL SPECIFICATIONS 12.8 Product Tension Tests — This specification does not provide requirements for product tension testing subsequent to shipment (see 16.1). Therefore, the requirements of 12.1 to 12.7 inclusive and Section 14 apply only for tests conducted at the place of manufacture prior to shipment. 13.4 Sheet Piling — The weight [mass] of each steel sheet pile shall not vary more than 2.5% from the theoretical or specified weight [or mass]. The length of each steel sheet pile shall not vary more than 5 in. [125 mm] over, and shall not be less than the length specified. 13.5 Hot-Rolled Bars — The permitted variations in dimensions shall not exceed the applicable limits in Tables 26 to 31 [Annex A1, Tables A1.26 to A1.31], inclusive. NOTE 7 — Compliance to Specification A 6/A 6M and the individual material specifications by a manufacturer does not preclude the possibility that product tension test results might vary outside specified ranges. The tensile properties will vary within the same heat or piece, be it asrolled, control-rolled, or heat-treated. Tension testing according to the requirements of Specification A 6/A 6M does not provide assurance that all products of a heat will be identical in tensile properties with the products tested. If the purchaser wishes to have more confidence than that provided by Specification A 6/A 6M testing procedures, additional testing or requirements, such as Supplementary Requirement S4, should be imposed. 14. Retests 14.1 If any test specimen shows defective machining or develops flaws, the manufacturer or processor shall have the option of discarding it and substituting another test specimen. 12.8.1 Appendix X2 provides additional information on the variability of tensile properties in plates and structural shapes. 14.2 If the percentage of elongation of any tension test specimen is less than that specified and any part of the fracture is more than 3⁄4 in. [20 mm] from the center of the gage length of a 2 in. [50-mm] specimen or is outside the middle half of the gage length of an 8 in. [200-mm] specimen, as indicated by scribe scratches marked on the specimen before testing, a retest shall be allowed. 13. Permitted Variations in Dimensions and Weight [Mass] 13.1 One cubic foot of rolled steel is assumed to weigh 490 lb. One cubic metre of rolled steel is assumed to have a mass of 7850 kg. 14.3 Except as provided in 14.3.1, if the results from an original tension specimen fails to meet the specified requirements, but are within 2 ksi [14 MPa] of the required tensile strength, within 1 ksi [7 MPa] of the required yield strength or yield point, or within 2 percentage points of the required elongation, a retest shall be permitted to replace the failing test. A retest shall be performed for the failing original test, with the specimen being randomly selected from the heat. If the results of the retest meet the specified requirements, the heat or lot shall be approved. 13.2 Plates — The permissible variations for dimensions and weight [mass] shall not exceed the applicable limits in Tables 1 to 15 [Annex A1, Tables A1.1 to A1.15], inclusive. 13.3 Shapes: 13.3.1 Annex A2 lists the designations and dimensions, in both inch-pound and SI units, of shapes that are most commonly available. Radii of fillets and toes of shape profiles vary with individual manufacturers and therefore are not specified. 13.3.2 The permitted variations for dimensions shall not exceed the applicable limits in Tables 16 to 25 [Annex A1, Tables A1.16 to A1.25], inclusive. Permitted variations for special shapes not listed in such tables shall be as agreed upon between the manufacturer and the purchaser. 14.3.1 For structural products produced from coils, both tests from each coil tested to qualify a heat are required to meet all mechanical property requirements. Should either test fail to do so, then that coil cannot be used to qualify the parent heat, however, the portion of that individual coil that is bracketed by acceptable tests (see 12.4.2.3) is considered to be qualified. NOTE 8 — Tolerances are shown in Tables 16 to 25 [Annex A1, Tables A1.16 to A1.25], inclusive, for some shapes that are not listed in Annex A2 (that is, bulb angles, tees, zees). Addition of such sections to Annex A2 will be considered by Subcommittee A01.02 when and if a need for such listing is shown. 14.4 Quenched and tempered steel plates are subject to the additional retest requirements contained in the material specification. 13.3.3 Shapes Having One Dimension of the Cross Section 3 in. [75 mm] or Greater (Structural-Size Shapes) — The cross-sectional area or weight [mass] of each shape shall not vary more than 2.5% from the theoretical or specified amounts. 14.5 When the full-section option of 12.3.3 is used and the elongation falls below the specified requirement, the manufacturer or processor shall have the option of making another test using a test specimen permitted in 12.5.2. 13 Copyright ASME International Provided by IHS under license with ASME No reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS SA-6 /SA-6M Not for Resale SA-6 /SA-6M 2004 SECTION II 15. Test Reports 15.1 Test reports for each heat supplied are required and they shall report the following: 15.6 A signature is not required on the test report. However, the document shall clearly identify the organization submitting the report. Notwithstanding the absence of a signature, the organization submitting the report is responsible for the content of the report. 15.1.1 The specification designation, including year of issue, and the grade or class if applicable, to which the material is furnished. 15.7 When finished material is supplied to a purchase order specifying an ASTM material specification listed in the Scope section of Specification A 6/A 6M, the organization supplying that material shall provide the purchaser with a copy of the original manufacturer’s test report. 15.1.2 The heat number, heat analysis, and nominal sizes. 15.1.3 Two tension test results appropriate to qualify the material shipped (see 12.4), except that only one test result need be reported if the shipment consists of a single piece or plate-as-rolled. 15.8 A material test report, certificate of inspection, or similar document printed from or used in electronic form from an electronic data interchange (EDI) transmission shall be regarded as having the same validity as a counterpart printed in the certifier’s facility. The content of the EDI transmitted document must meet the requirements of the invoked ASTM standard(s) and conform to any existing EDI agreement between the purchaser and the supplier. Notwithstanding the absence of a signature, the organization submitting the EDI transmission is responsible for the content of the report. 15.1.3.1 In reporting elongation values, both the percentage increase and the original gage length shall be stated. 15.1.4 When the material is required to be heat treated, either by the designated ASTM specification, or when specified in the purchase order, all heat treatments, including temperature ranges and time at temperature. 15.1.4.1 The supply of a heat treatment procedure in place of the actual temperatures and times shall be subject to agreement between the purchaser and the supplier. NOTE 9 — The industry definition as invoked here is: EDI is the computer to computer exchange of business information in a standard format such as ANSI ASC X12. 15.1.4.2 Subcritical heat treatment to soften thermally cut edges need not be reported except for materials having specified minimum tensile strengths of 95 ksi [655 MPa] or higher, unless such subcritical heating is accomplished at temperatures at least 75°F [40°C] lower than the minimum tempering temperature. 16. Inspection and Testing 16.1 The inspector representing the purchaser shall have free entry, at all times, while work on the contract of the purchaser is being performed, to all parts of the manufacturer’s works that concern the manufacture of the material ordered. The manufacturer shall afford the inspector all reasonable facilities to satisfy him that the material is being furnished in accordance with this specification. All tests (except product analysis) and inspection shall be made at the place of manufacture prior to shipment, unless otherwise specified, and shall be conducted so as not to interfere with the operation of the works. 15.1.5 The results of all other tests required by the material specification, applicable supplementary requirements, and the order. 15.2 The thickness of the product tested is not necessarily the same as an individual ordered thickness since it is the heat that is tested rather than each ordered item. Tests from material thicknesses in accordance with 12.4 and encompassing the thicknesses in a shipment shall be sufficient for qualifying the material in the shipment. These test thicknesses are not required to be within previously tested and shipped thicknesses from the same heat. 16.2 When structural products are produced from coils, 16.1 shall apply to the processor instead of the manufacturer, and the place of process shall apply instead of the place of manufacture. When structural products are produced from coils and the processor is different from the manufacturer, the inspector representing the purchaser shall have free entry at all times while work on the contract of the purchaser is being performed to all parts of the manufacturer’s works that concerns the manufacturer of the material ordered. 15.3 For structural products produced from coils, both test results shall be reported for each qualifying coil. 15.4 For structural products produced from coils, both the manufacturer and processor shall be identified on the test report. 15.5 When full-section test specimens have been used for the qualification of angles, that information shall be stated on the test report. 14 --`,,```,,,,````-`-`,,`,,`,`,,`--- Copyright ASME International Provided by IHS under license with ASME No reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS Not for Resale PART A — FERROUS MATERIAL SPECIFICATIONS 17.

COILED PRODUCT AS A SOURCE OF STRUCTURAL PLATES, SHAPES, SHEET PILING, AND BARS X1.1 Continuous wide hot strip rolling mills are normally equipped with coilers. Regardless of the different types of systems employed during or following the rolling operations, it is common for the steel to be reeled into the coiler at temperatures in the stress-relieving range. In general, these temperatures are higher as material thickness increases. The coils subsequently cool to ambient temperature with outer and inner laps cooling more rapidly than central laps. The difference in cooling rate can result in measurable differences in the mechanical properties throughout a coil. Data confirm reduced yield and tensile strength with increased percent elongation for the product with slower cooling rates from the coiling temperature to ambient. These differences are in addition to the effects on mechanical properties caused by differences in heat analysis and chemical segregation. Carbon Steel Plates and Wide Flange Shapes” (SU /18, SU /19, and SU /20), published in September 1974. The data are presented in tables of probability that tensile properties at other than the official location may differ from those of the reported test location. X2.3 Specification A 6 /A 6M contains no requirements applicable to product tension tests; conformance to the material specifications is determined on the basis of tests performed at the place of manufacture prior to shipment, unless otherwise specified. X2.4 A Task Group of ASTM Subcommittee A01.02 has determined, based on review of the AISI data, that the variation in tensile properties of plates and structural shapes can be expressed as a function of specified requirements: one standard deviation equals approximately 4% of required tensile strength, 8% of required yield strength, and 3 percentage units of required elongation. X2.5 Acceptance criteria for product testing based on these values either below the minimum or above the maximum allowed by the material specification are generally acceptable to material manufacturers. Such tolerances could be considered by users of this product as a reasonable basis for acceptance of materials which, due to their inherent variability, deviate from material specification requirements when subjected to product tension testing. X2. VARIATION OF TENSILE PROPERTIES IN PLATES AND STRUCTURAL SHAPES X2.1 The tension testing requirements of Specification A 6 /A 6M are intended only to characterize the tensile properties of a heat of steel for determination of conformance to the requirements of the material specifications. These testing procedures are not intended to define the upper or lower limits of tensile properties at all possible test locations within a heat of steel. It is well known and documented that tensile properties will vary within a heat or individual piece of steel as a function of chemical composition, processing, testing procedure, and other factors. It is, therefore, incumbent on designers and engineers to use sound engineering judgement when using tension test results shown on mill test reports. The testing procedures of Specification A 6 /A 6M have been found to provide material adequate for normal structural design criteria. X3. WELDABILITY OF STEEL X3.1 Weldability is a term that usually refers to the relative ease with which a metal can be welded using conventional practice. Difficulties arise in steel when the cooling rates associated with weld thermal cycles produce microstructures (for example, martensite) that are susceptible to brittle fracture or, more commonly, hydrogeninduced (or cold) cracking. (Solidification or hot cracking is a relatively rare phenomenon that will not be addressed here.) X2.2 A survey of the variation to be expected in tensile properties obtained from plates and structural shapes was conducted by the American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI). The results of this survey are contained in a Contributions to the Metallurgy of Steel entitled “The Variation of Product Analysis and Tensile Properties — X3.2 The relative sensitivity of steels to forming cold cracking microstructures is called hardenability and can be measured in a number of ways. Perhaps the most popular method of assessing this is by the carbon equivalent (CE) formula, which attempts to equate the relative hardening contributions of a steel’s constituent elements 80 Copyright ASME International Provided by IHS under license with ASME No reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS Not for Resale PART A — FERROUS MATERIAL SPECIFICATIONS (for example, manganese, vanadium) to an equivalent amount of carbon, which is the most significant hardening agent. The most popular formula is the IIW (International Institute of Welding) equation presented in S74.2, which has been found suitable for predicting hardenability in a wide range of commonly used carbon-manganese and low alloy steels. X4. RADIUS FOR COLD BENDING X4.1 Suggested minimum inside bend radii for cold forming are referenced to Group Designations A to F inclusive as defined in Table X4.1. The suggested radii listed in Table X4.2 should be used as minimums in typical shop fabrication. Material that does not form satisfactorily when fabricated in accordance with Table X4.2 may be subject to rejection pending negotiation with the steel supplier. When tighter bends are required, the manufacturer should be consulted. X3.3 It should be noted, however, that for the current generation of low carbon (<0.10%) low alloy steels that derive strength from a combination of microalloys and thermal processing methods, the use of other formulae may more accurately assess hardenability and cold cracking sensitivity. X4.2 The bend radius and the radius of the male die should be as liberal as the finished part will permit. The width across the shoulders of the female die should be at least eight times the plate thickness. Higher strength steels require larger die openings. The surface of the dies in the area of radius should be smooth. X3.4 For a vast number of common structural applications it is unnecessary to specify the use of CE limits. However, in order to obtain a higher level of confidence in avoiding cold cracking, the chemistry controls in S74 are available. A purchaser who specifies the use of S74 should be aware that there are several factors involved in the judicious selection of a maximum CE value, such as the following: X4.2.1 Since cracks in cold bending commonly originate from the outside edges, shear burrs and gas cut edges should be removed by grinding. Sharp corners on edges and on punched or gas cut holes should be removed by chamfering or grinding to a radius. X3.4.1 Actual production joint restraint /base metal thickness(es), X4.2.2 If possible, parts should be formed such that the bend line is perpendicular to the direction of final rolling. If it is necessary to bend with the bend line parallel to the direction of final rolling, a more generous radius is suggested (11⁄2 times applicable value given in Table X4.2 for bend lines perpendicular to the direction of rolling).

Heat Treatment 6.1 When material is required to be heat treated, the heat treatment may be performed either by the manufacturer or processor or by the fabricator unless otherwise specified in the material specification. 6.2 When the heat treatment required by the material specification is to be performed by the purchaser or the purchaser’s agent, and the material is to be supplied by the material producer in a condition other than that required by the material specification, the order shall so state. 6.2.1 When plates are ordered without the heat treatment required by the material specification, heat treatment of the plates to conform to the requirements of the material specification shall be the responsibility of the purchaser. 6.3 When heat treatment is to be performed, the material shall be heat treated as specified in the material specification. The purchaser may specify the heat treatment to be used provided it is not in conflict with the requirements of the material specification. 5.4 Plates are produced in either discrete cut lengths of flat product or from coils. 5.4.1 Plates produced from coil means plates that have been leveled or flattened and cut to length from a coiled product and that are furnished without heat treatment. For the purposes of this paragraph, stress relieving is not considered to be a heat treatment. 5.4.2 Plates that are annealed, normalized, normalized-and-tempered, or quenched-and-tempered after decoiling shall be considered to be discrete cut lengths of flat products. 6.4 When normalizing is to be performed by the fabricator, it may be accomplished by heating uniformly for hot forming.

Chemical Composition 7.1 Heat Analysis of each heat shall be made by the manufacturer to determine the percentage of elements specified in the individual material specification. This analysis shall be made from a test specimen preferably taken during the pouring of the heat. The chemical composition thus determined shall be reported to the purchaser, or the purchaser’s representative, and shall conform to the heat analysis requirements of the applicable specification. 8.2.3 When specified on the order, one McQuaidEhn test (see 8.1) per heat shall be made and the austenitic grain size of the steel, as represented by the test, shall be Number 5 or finer. 8.2.4 By agreement between the purchaser and the supplier, elements other than aluminum may be used for grain refining. In such instances, the heat analysis limits for the element, or elements, permitted shall be specified on the order. In addition, the McQuaid-Ehn test of 8.2.3 shall be required. 7.1.1 Unspecified elements may be present. Unless otherwise specified in the material specification, limits on elements shall be as stated in Table 1. 7.1.1.1 Each of the elements listed in Table 1 shall be included in the report of the heat analysis.

The chemical composition thus determined, as to elements required or restricted, shall conform to the product analysis requirements specified in the applicable specification. 9.2 Surface Imperfections: 9.2.1 All injurious surface imperfections shall be removed by the manufacturer of discrete cut length plates. For plates provided from coils, the processor shall remove the injurious imperfections, rather than the manufacturer. 7.3 Referee Analysis — For referee purposes, Test Methods, Practices, and Terminology A 751 shall be used. 9.2.1.1 Shallow imperfections shall be ground to sound metal; the ground area shall be well faired and the thickness of the ground plate shall not be reduced below the minimum thickness permitted. 9.2.1.2 All surface imperfections, the removal of which will reduce the plate thickness below this minimum, shall be cause for rejection of the plate; however, by agreement with the purchaser, the metal so removed may be replaced with weld metal as provided in 9.4. 8. Metallurgical Structure 8.1 Where coarse austenitic grain size is specified, the steel shall have a carburized austenitic grain size number in the range from 1 to 5, inclusive, as determined by the McQuaid-Ehn test.

Discontinuities shall be considered continuous when located in the same plane within 5% of the plate thickness and separated by a distance less than the length of the smaller of two adjacent discontinuities. 8.2.2 When a fine austenitic grain size is specified, except as otherwise provided in 8.2.2.1, the steel shall have a carburized austenitic grain size number of 5 or higher (finer) as determined by the McQuaid-Ehn test in accordance with Methods E 112, Plate IV. One test per heat shall be made. 9.3.3 Indications visible to the unaided eye on the cut edges of a plate as prepared for shipment by the manufacturer or processor shall not exceed the limits given in columns 1 and 2 of Table A1.14 [A2.14]. 88 --`,,```,,,,````-`-`,,`,,`,`,,`--- Copyright ASME International Provided by IHS under license with ASME No reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS Not for Resale --`,,```,,,,````-`-`,,`,,`,`,,`--- PART A — FERROUS MATERIAL SPECIFICATIONS 9.3.4 Larger indications shall be removed by the manufacturer or processor by grinding provided the resultant cavity does not exceed the limits given in columns 3 and 4 of Table A1.14 [A2.14]. 9.3.5 Indications of greater magnitude shall be cause for rejection of a plate; however, by agreement with the purchaser, the defects may be removed and replaced with weld metal as provided in 9.4. 9.3.6 Indications on the edges of a plate cut during the fabrication shall be cause for rejection of the plate at the discretion of the purchaser when the magnitude exceeds the limits given in columns 5 and 6 of Table A1.14 [A2.14]. The defects may be removed and replaced with weld metal as provided in 9.4. 9.3.7 Fabricators should be aware that edge cracks may initiate upon bending a sheared or burned edge during the fabrication process. This is not considered to be a fault of the steel, but is rather a function of the induced cold work or heat-affected zone. 10. Test Methods 10.1 All tests shall be conducted in accordance with Test Methods and Definitions A 370. 10.2 Yield strength may be determined either by the 0.2% offset method or the 0.5% extension under load method unless otherwise stated in the material specification. 10.3 Rounding Procedures — For purposes of determining conformance with the specification, a calculated value shall be rounded to the nearest 1 ksi [5 MPa] tensile and yield strength, and to the nearest unit in the right-hand place of figures used in expressing the limiting value for other values in accordance with the rounding method given in Practice E 29. 11. Tension Tests 11.1 Number of Tests — Except as specified in 11.1.1, one tension test shall be taken from each plate-as-rolled, except for plates subjected to heat treatment by quenching and tempering. Two tension tests shall be taken from each quenched and tempered plate. When plates are furnished by the manufacturer or processor in accordance with 11.4.2 and qualified by heat-treated specimens (including normalized, normalized and tempered, and quenched and tempered), one tension test specimen shall be taken from each plate-as-rolled (see 3.1.8 for the definition of plate-as-rolled). 9.4 Repair by Welding: 9.4.1 Repair welding shall be permitted only with the approval of the purchaser. 9.4.2 Preparation for repair welding shall include inspection to assure complete removal of the defect. 9.4.3 Repairs shall be made utilizing welding procedures qualified in accordance with Section IX of the ASME Code and repair welding shall be done by welders or welding operators meeting the qualification requirements of ASME Section IX. 9.4.4 The weld metal shall have the A-number analysis corresponding to the equivalent ASME P number of the plate material except that A-1 or A-2 analysis weld metal may be employed for P-1 materials. Other weld metals may be employed that are compatible with the base material being repaired, when so approved by the purchaser. Such weld metals must be qualified in accordance with the requirements of Section IX of the ASME Code. 9.4.5 If Charpy impact tests are required on the plate material, the welding procedure qualification tests shall also include Charpy impact tests of the weld, heataffected zone, and plate material, and shall be reported to the purchaser. 9.4.6 If the plate material is subjected to normalizing, quenching and tempering, hot forming, or post-weld heat treating, the welding procedure qualification test plates and the weld-repaired plate shall be subjected to the thermal heat treatment as specified by the purchaser. 9.4.7 In addition, repair welds shall meet the requirements of the construction code specified by the purchaser. 11.1.1 Plates Produced from Coils — Coiled product is excluded from qualification to individual material specifications governed by this specification until decoiled, leveled, cut to length, and properly tested by the processor in accordance with ASTM specification requirements. When plates are produced from coils, a minimum of three tension tests shall be made from each coil qualified, except as otherwise indicated as follows for qualification of a portion of a coil. 11.1.1.1 The first test coupon shall be taken immediately prior to the first plate produced to the qualifying specification, the second test coupon shall be taken from the approximate center lap, and the third test coupon shall be taken immediately after the last plate produced to the qualifying specification. If, during decoiling, the amount of material decoiled is less than that required to reach the next standard test location, a test for qualification of that particular shipment may be made from a test coupon taken from a location adjacent to the innermost portion shipped. 11.1.1.2 All material between any two test locations that meet the requirements of the material specification is acceptable. 89 Copyright ASME International Provided by IHS under license with ASME No reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS SA-20 /SA-20M Not for Resale SA-20 /SA-20M 2004 SECTION II 11.1.1.3 All material between a test location that fails to meet the requirements of the material specification and an adjacent acceptable test is rejectable. However, other tests may be made after cutting back the coil in either direction. slower than, that attained by the method described in 11.4.4.2. 11.4.4.4 When test coupons cut from the plate but heat treated separately are used, the coupon dimensions shall be not less than 3T by 3T by T and each tension specimen cut from it shall meet the requirements of 11.4.4.1. 11.2 Orientation of Tests — The longitudinal axis of the tension-test specimens shall be transverse to the final rolling direction of the plate. 11.3 Location of Tests — The tension test specimen shall be taken from a corner of the plate. For quenched and tempered plates, the tension test specimens shall be taken from a corner of the plate at both ends of the plate. 11.4.4.5 If cooling rate data for the plate and cooling rate control devices for the test specimens are available, the test specimens may be heat treated separately in the device. This method shall require prior approval of the purchaser. 11.4 Tests from Heat-Treated Plates: 11.4.1 When heat treatment is performed by the manufacturer or processor, the test specimens shall be taken from the plate in the heat-treated condition or from full-thickness coupons simultaneously heat treated with the plate. 11.5 Specimen Preparation: 11.5.1 Tension test specimens for plates 3⁄4 in. [20 mm] and under in thickness shall be the full thickness of the plates. The test specimens shall conform to the requirements for either the 11⁄2 in. [40 mm] wide or the 1 ⁄2 in. [12.5 mm] wide rectangular tension test specimen of Methods and Definitions A 370. The 11⁄2 in. [40 mm] wide specimen may have both edges parallel. The 1⁄2 in. [12.5 mm] wide specimen may have a maximum nominal thickness of 3⁄4 in. [20 mm]. 11.4.2 When heat treatment is to be performed by the fabricator, the plates shall be accepted on the basis of tests made on specimens taken from full thickness coupons heat treated in accordance with the requirements specified in the material specification or on the order. If the heat-treatment temperatures are not specified, the manufacturer or processor shall heat treat the coupons under conditions he considers appropriate. The purchaser shall be informed of the procedure followed in heat treating the specimens. 11.5.2 For plates up to 4 in. [100 mm], inclusive, in thickness, tension test specimens may be the full thickness of the material and conform to the requirements for the 11⁄2 in. [40 mm] wide rectangular tension test specimen of Methods and Definitions A 370 when adequate testing machine capacity is available. 11.4.3 When approved by the purchaser, the procedures of paragraph 11.4.2 may be implemented on plates heat treated by the manufacturer or processor. 11.4.4 When the plate is heat treated with a cooling rate faster than still-air cooling from the austenitizing temperature, one of the following shall apply in addition to other requirements specified herein: 11.5.3 For plates over 3⁄4 in. [20 mm] in thickness, except as permitted in 11.5.2, tension test specimens shall conform to the requirements for the 0.500 in. [12.5 mm] round specimen of Methods and Definitions A 370. The axis of the specimen shall be located, as nearly as practicable, midway between the center of thickness and the top or bottom surface of the plate. 11.4.4.1 The gage length of the tension test specimen shall be taken at least 1T from any as-heat treated edge where T is the thickness of the plate and shall be at least 1⁄2 in. [12.5 mm] from flame cut or heat-affectedzone surfaces. 11.4.4.2 A steel thermal buffer pad, 1T by 1T by at least 3T, shall be joined to the plate edge by a partial penetration weld completely sealing the buffered edge prior to heat treatment. 11.6 Elongation Requirement Adjustments: 11.6.1 Due to the specimen geometry effect encountered when using the rectangular tension test specimen for testing thin material, adjustments in elongation requirements must be provided for thicknesses under 0.312 in. [8 mm]. Accordingly, the following deductions shall be made from the base elongation requirements in the individual plate specifications: 11.4.4.3 Thermal insulation or other thermal barriers shall be used during the heat treatment adjacent to the plate edge where specimens are to be removed. It shall be demonstrated that the cooling rate of the tension test specimen is no faster than, and not substantially 90 Copyright ASME International Provided by IHS under license with ASME No reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS Not for Resale PART A — FERROUS MATERIAL SPECIFICATIONS Nominal Thickness Range, in.

Therefore, the requirements of 11.1 through 11.6 and Section 16 apply only for tests conducted at the place of manufacture prior to shipment. Compliance to Specification A 20 /A 20M and the individual material specifications does not preclude the possibility that product tension test results may vary outside specified ranges. The tensile properties will vary within the same plateas-rolled or piece, be it as-rolled, control-rolled, or heattreated. The purchaser should, therefore, be aware that tension testing in accordance with the requirements of Specification A 20 /A 20M does not provide assurance that all products of a plate-as-rolled will be identical in tensile properties with the products tested. If the purchaser wishes to have more confidence than that provided by Specification A 20 /A 20M testing procedures, additional testing or requirements, such as Supplementary Requirement S4, should be imposed. 0.5 1.0 1.5 2.0 2.5 3.0 3.5 4.0 4.5 5.0 11.6.2 Due to the inherently lower elongation which is obtainable in thicker material, adjustments in elongation requirements in 2 in. [50 mm] gage length must be provided for thicknesses over 3.5 in. [90 mm]. Accordingly, the following deductions shall be made from the base elongation requirements in 2 in. [50 mm] listed in the individual plate specifications: Plate Nominal Thickness Range, in.

Notch-Toughness Tests 12.1 Charpy V-Notch Tests: 12.1.1 Number of Tests — Except for plates subjected to quenching-and-tempering, and except as specified in 12.1.1.1 and 12.1.1.2, one impact test (3 specimens) for each specified orientation (see 12.1.2) shall be made from each plate-as-rolled. For plates subjected to quenching-and-tempering, one impact test shall be made from each plate-as-heat-treated. 11.6.3 A characteristic of certain types of alloy steels is a local disproportionate increase in the degree of necking down or contraction of the specimens under tension test, resulting in a decrease in the percentage of elongation as the gage length is increased. The effect is not so pronounced in the thicker plates. On such material, when so stated in the material specification for plates up to 3⁄4 in. [20 mm], inclusive, in thickness, if the percentage of elongation of an 8 in. [200 mm] gage length test specimen falls not more than 3% below the amount prescribed, the elongation shall be considered satisfactory provided the percentage of elongation in 2 in. [50 mm] across the break is not less than 25%. 12.1.1.1 Plates Ordered Without the Heat Treatment Specified by the Material Specification — When the material specification requires heat treatment but the plates are ordered without such heat treatment, and when Charpy V-notch tests are specified, one coupon shall be taken from each plate-as-rolled. The coupon shall be heat treated in accordance with the material specification and the purchase order and the plate qualified by specimens taken from the heat-treated coupon. 11.6.4 The tensile requirements tables in many of the plate specifications covered by these general requirements specify elongation requirements in both 8 in. [200 mm] and 2 in. [50 mm] gage lengths. Unless otherwise provided in the individual plate specification, it is not the intent that both requirements apply simultaneously and that the elongation be determined in both gage lengths. Instead, it is intended that the elongation be determined only in the gage length appropriate for the test specimen used. After selection of the appropriate gage length, the elongation requirement for the alternative gage length shall be deemed not applicable. 12.1.1.2 Plates Produced from Coils — When the plates are produced from coils and when Charpy V-notch tests are specified, the number of impact tests required shall be the same as the number specified in 11.1.1 for tension tests. The test coupons shall be taken from the material after flattening. 12.1.2 Orientation of Test Specimens — The long axes of the specimens shall be oriented either longitudinal (parallel to the final direction of rolling) or transverse 91 Copyright ASME International Provided by IHS under license with ASME No reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS SA-20 /SA-20M Not for Resale SA-20 /SA-20M 2004 SECTION II (transverse to the final direction of rolling) as specified in the material specification or order. 12.1.6.2 When the acceptance criteria is based on lateral expansion opposite the notch, the acceptance value shall be the same for all sizes of specimens. 12.1.3 Location of Test Coupons — The impact test coupons shall be taken adjacent to the tension test coupons. The impact test coupons shall be subject to the same requirements as those specified for tension tests in 11.4 except that the provisions of 11.4.4.1 apply to the area under the notch of the impact test specimen instead of to the gage length of the tension test specimen. 12.1.7 Marking — The letters “LTV” shall be stenciled or stamped on each plate following the class number, grade, etc. 12.1.8 Variability — The impact properties of steel can vary within the same plate-as-rolled or piece, be it as-rolled, control-rolled, or heat-treated. The purchaser should, therefore, be aware that testing of one plate-asrolled does not provide assurance that all locations within a plate-as-rolled will be identical in toughness with the location tested. Normalizing or quenching and tempering the product will reduce the degree of variation. 12.1.4 Test Method — Impact testing shall be performed in accordance with Test Methods and Definitions A 370 using Charpy V-notch (Type A) specimens as shown in Test Methods and Definitions A 370. Except as provided in 12.1.4.1, full-size (10 by 10 mm) specimens shall be used when the plate thickness permits, and their central axis shall correspond as near as practical to the 1⁄4 t plane in the plate thickness t. Where the plate thickness is insufficient to obtain full-size specimens, sub-size specimens shall be used. The sub-size specimens may have a width of full material thickness or may be reduced in thickness to produce the largest possible standard sub-size specimen listed in Test Methods and Definitions A 370. 12.1.8.1 Appendix X3 provides additional information on the variability of Charpy V-Notch test properties in plates for pressure vessels. 12.2 Drop-Weight Tests: 12.2.1 When specified, one drop-weight test, consisting of a set of two specimens, shall be made to the same frequency stated in 12.1.1 in accordance with Method E 208. 12.2.2 The test coupons shall be obtained adjacent to a tension test coupon. For plates produced from coils, the test coupon locations shall be the same as for Charpy V-notch tests. (See 12.1.) The provisions of 11.4 shall also apply. 12.1.4.1 For materials that normally have absorbed energy values in excess of 180 ft·lbf [245 J] when tested using full-size specimens at the specified testing temperature, sub-size 0.4 by 0.268 in. [10 by 6.7 mm] specimens may be used in lieu of full-size specimens. However, when this option is used, the acceptance value shall be 75 ft·lbf [100 J] minimum for each specimen and the lateral expansion in mils [m] shall be reported. 12.2.3 The testing temperature shall be as specified in the material specification or order. 12.2.4 Acceptance shall be on the basis of no-break performance of both specimens at the specified testing temperature. 12.2.5 The plates shall be marked as required in 12.1.7 except that the letters “LTD” shall be used instead of “LTV.” 12.1.5 Test Temperature — The test temperature should be specified on the order. At the supplier’s option, the actual test temperature may be lower than the specified test temperature. When a test temperature is not specified, tests shall be conducted at a temperature no higher than listed in Table A1.15 [A2.15] for the class, grade, and thickness of the material specified. The actual test temperature shall be reported with the test results. 13. Identification of Plates 13.1 Required Markings: 13.1.1 Except as allowed by 13.4, plates shall be legibly marked with the following information: applicable ASTM designation (see 1.1) (year of issue not required); “G” or “MT” if applicable (see 13.1.2); applicable grade, type, and class; heat number; plate identifier; and name, brand, or trademark of the manufacturer (for plates produced in discrete cut lenghts of flat product) or the processor (for plates produced from coil and for subdivided plates (see 13.4)). 12.1.6 Acceptance Criteria — Unless otherwise agreed upon, the acceptance criteria shall be as listed in Table A1.15 [A2.15] for the class, grade, and thickness of the material specified. 12.1.6.1 When the acceptance criteria is based on energy absorption of a full-size specimen, the acceptance criteria for the various sub-size specimens shall be as shown in Table A1.16 [A2.16] except as otherwise provided in 12.1.4.1. 13.1.2 Plates that are required to be heat treated, but have not been so heat treated, shall be marked by the 92 --`,,```,,,,````-`-`,,`,,`,`,,`--- Copyright ASME International Provided by IHS under license with ASME No reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS Not for Resale PART A — FERROUS MATERIAL SPECIFICATIONS manufacturer or processor with the letter “G” (denoting green) following the required ASTM designation mark, except that “G” marking is not necessary if such plates are for shipment, for the purpose of obtaining the required heat treatment, to an organization under the manufacturer’s control. Such plates shall have been qualified for shipment on the basis of test specimens that have been so heat treated. Plates that are required to be heat treated, and have been so heat treated, shall be marked by the party that performed the heat treatment with the letters “MT” (denoting material treated) following the required ASTM designation mark. 13.5 Bar Coding — In addition to the requirements of 13.1 to 13.4 inclusive, the manufacturer or processor shall have the option of using bar coding as a supplementary identification method. NOTE 2 — Bar coding should be consistent with AIAG Standard B 1. 14. Permissible Variations in Dimensions or Mass 14.1 One cubic foot of rolled steel shall be assumed to weigh 490 lb, unless otherwise stated in the material specification. One cubic meter of rolled steel is assumed to have a mass of 7850 kg, unless otherwise stated in the material specification. NOTE 1 — Any stress relief of test specimens intended to simulate post-weld heat treatment is not included in the above heat treatment. 14.2 For carbon steel plates the permissible variations for dimensions shall not exceed the applicable limits stated in Annex A1, Tables A1.1 to A1.9, and Table A1.13 [Annex A2, Tables A2.1 to A2.9, and Table A2.13]. 13.2 Types of Marking: 13.2.1 Except as allowed by 13.4, the required markings for plates over 1⁄4 in. [6 mm] in thickness shall be by steel die stamping, unless paint marking is specified in the purchase order. 14.3 For alloy steel plates the permissible variations for dimensions shall not exceed the applicable limits stated in Annex A1, Tables A1.1 to A1.4, A1.8, and A1.10 to A1.13 [Annex A2, Tables A2.1 to A2.4, A2.8, and A2.10 to A2.13]. 13.2.2 Except as allowed by 13.4, the required markings for plates 1⁄4 in. [6 mm] and under in thickness shall be by paint marking or by steel die stamping using low-stress (either round-nose or interrupted-dot) impressions. 15. Inspection and Testing 15.1 The inspector representing the purchaser shall have entry at all times while work on the contract of the purchaser is being performed, to all parts of the manufacturer’s works that concern the manufacture of the material ordered. The manufacturer shall afford the inspector all reasonable facilities to satisfy him that the material is being furnished in accordance with the specification. All tests (except product analysis) and inspection shall be made at the place of manufacture prior to shipment, unless otherwise specified, and shall be so conducted as not to interfere unnecessarily with the operation of the works. 13.3 Location of Markings: 13.3.1 Except as allowed by 13.4, the required markings for plates with a maximum lenghtwise or crosswise dimensions more than 72 in. [1800 mm] shall be in at least two places on each finished plate, at least 12 in. [300 mm] from the edges of the plate. 13.3.2 Except as allowed by 13.4, the required markings for plates with a maximum lenghtwise or crosswise dimensions of 72 in. [1800 mm] or less shall be in at least one place on each finished plate, approximately midway between the center and an edge of the plate. 15.2 When plates are produced from coils, 15.1 shall apply to the “processor” instead of to the “manufacturer” and the “place of process” shall apply instead of the “place of manufacture.” When plates are produced from coils and the processor is different from the manufacturer, the inspector representing the purchaser shall have free entry, at all times while work on the contract of the purchaser is being performed, to all parts of the manufacturer’s works that concern the manufacture of the material ordered. 13.4 Subdivided Plates: 13.4.1 By agreement between the purchaser and the processor, each subdivided plate (a plate separated from a master plate) shall be legibly marked with the name, brand, or trademark of the processor plus a code traceable to the required markings, provided that the information required in 13.1, cross-referenced to that code, is furnished with the plates. 13.4.2 By agreement between the purchaser and the processor, subdivided plates that are from the same master plate and placed in secured lifts shall have the information required in 13.1 paint marked on the top piece of each lift or shown on a substantial tag attached to each lift. 16. Retests 16.1 Tension Tests — In addition to the provisions of Test Methods and Definitions A 370, the following retest provisions shall apply: 93 Copyright ASME International Provided by IHS under license with ASME No reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS SA-20 /SA-20M Not for Resale SA-20 /SA-20M 2004 SECTION II 16.1.1 If any test specimen shows defective machining, or develops flaws, it may be discarded and another specimen substituted. the material may be reheat treated. All mechanical property tests shall be repeated and the plate surface shall be reexamined for defects when the material is resubmitted for inspection. 16.1.2 If the percentage of elongation of any tension test specimen is less than that specified, and any part of the fracture is more than 3⁄4 in. [20 mm] from the center of the gage length of a 2 in. [50 mm] specimen or is outside the middle half of the gage length of an 8 in. [200 mm] specimen as indicated by scribe marks on the specimen before testing, one retest shall be allowed. 18. Rejection 18.1 Any rejection based on product analysis made in accordance with the material specification shall be reported to the supplier and samples that represent the rejected material shall be preserved for 2 weeks from the date of notification of such rejection. In case of dissatisfaction with the results of the tests, the supplier may make claim for a rehearing within that time. 16.1.3 If the results from an original tension test specimen fail to meet the specified requirements but are within 2 ksi [14 MPa] of the required tensile strength or within 1 ksi [7 MPa] of the required yield strength or yield point, or within 2% points of the required elongation or reduction in area, one retest shall be permitted to replace the failing test. 18.2 Material that shows injurious defects subsequent to its acceptance at the manufacturer’s or processor’s works may be rejected. In such cases, the manufacturer or processor shall be notified. 16.1.4 The results of the retest shall meet the specified requirements. 19. Test Reports 19.1 The manufacturer or processor shall report the results of all tests required by the material specification, applicable supplementary requirements, and the order. The heat number, the plate identifier of the plate tested, and the nominal plate thickness shall be shown on the test report. The year-date of the specification to which the material is furnished shall be included on the test report. 16.2 Charpy V-Notch Tests: 16.2.1 The retest provisions of Test Methods and Definitions A 370 shall apply except that the 5 ft·lbf [7 J] absolute minimum for an individual specimen, as specified in Test Methods and Definitions A 370, does not apply when two-thirds of the specified minimum average is less than 5 ft·lbf [7 J]. 16.2.2 When Charpy V-notch impact test lateral expansion values are specified, if the value of one specimen falls below the specified minimum value and not below two-thirds of the specified minimum value, and if the average of the three specimens equals or exceeds the specified minimum value, a retest of three additional specimens may be made. Each of the three retest specimens must equal or exceed the specified minimum value. 19.1.1 In reporting elongation values, both the percentage increases and the original gage length shall be stated. 19.2 For plates rolled from a strand-cast slab with a reduction ratio in the range from 2.0:1 to 3.0:1, exclusive, the specific practices (see 5.3.4 and 5.3.6) that were used by the manufacturer shall be reported, and the test reports shall state that the limitations of 5.3 have been met. 16.2.3 If the required values are not obtained on Charpy V-notch retests as specified in 16.2.1 and 16.2.2, or if the values in the initial test are below the values required for retest, no further retests are permitted unless the plate is heat treated or reheat treated. After heat treatment or reheat treatment, a set of three specimens shall be tested and each must equal or exceed the specified minimum value. 19.3 All heat treatment, exclusive of subcritical heating to soften thermally cut edges, shall be reported including temperature ranges and time at temperature. This exclusion does not apply to those materials with specified minimum tensile strengths of 95 ksi [655 MPa] or higher unless such subcritical heating is accomplished at temperatures at least 75°F [40°C] below the minimum tempering temperature. The reports shall state whether the plates only, the test specimens only, or both plates and test specimens were heat treated. 16.2.4 When the option of 12.1.4.1 is used and the test result falls below the 75 ft·lbf [100 J] minimum specified, another test may be made using full-size specimens. 19.4 When Charpy V-notch tests are specified, the specimen size used shall be reported. 17. Retreatment 17.1 If any heat-treated material fails to meet the mechanical requirements of the applicable specification, 19.5 When required by the purchase order, the manufacturer shall also furnish a certification that the material 94 Copyright ASME International Provided by IHS under license with ASME No reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS Not for Resale PART A — FERROUS MATERIAL SPECIFICATIONS SA-20 /SA-20M has been manufactured and tested in accordance with the requirements of the material specification.

COILED PRODUCTS X1.1 Continuous wide hot strip rolling mills are normally equipped with coilers. Regardless of the different types of systems employed during or following the rolling operations, it is common for the steel to be reeled into the coiler at temperatures in the stress-relieving range. In general, these temperatures are higher as material thickness increases. The coils subsequently cool to ambient temperature with outer and inner laps cooling more rapidly than central laps. The difference in cooling rate can result in measurable differences in the mechanical properties throughout a coil. Data confirm reduced yield and tensile strength, and increased percent elongation, for the product with slower cooling rates from the coiling temperature to ambient. These differences are in addition to the effects on mechanical properties caused by differences in heat analysis and chemical segregation. properties at other than the official location may differ from those of the reported test location. X2.3 This specification contains no requirements applicable to product tension tests; conformance to the material specifications is determined on the basis of tests performed at the place of manufacture prior to shipment, unless otherwise specified. X2.4 A Task Group of ASTM Subcommittee A01.11 has determined, based on review of the AISI data (SU20), that the variation in tensile properties within a plate-asrolled can be expressed as a function of specified requirements; one standard deviation equals approximately 3% of required tensile strength, 5% of required yield strength, and 3 percentage units of required elongation. X3. VARIATION IN CHARPY V-NOTCH TESTS X3.1 A survey of the variation to be expected in Charpy V-Notch test results obtained from three common fine grain plate steels was conducted by the American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI). The results of the survey are contained in a Contributions to the Metallurgy of Steel entitled, “The Variations of Charpy V-Notch Impact Test Properties in Steel Plates,” (SU/24), published January 1979. The survey data consists of test values obtained from six locations in addition to the locations specified in 12.1.3 of this specification. The plate conditions tested involved as-rolled, normalized, and quench and tempered. Sufficient full-size specimens were taken from each sample so that three longitudinal and three transverse specimens could be broken at three test temperatures defined for each grade. The data is presented in tables of probability that impact properties at other than the official location which may differ from those of the reported test location. Additional data of the same type, but utilizing samples from thicker plates, was published by AISI as SU/27. X2. VARIATION OF TENSILE PROPERTIES IN PLATES X2.1 The tension requirements of this specification are intended only to characterize the tensile properties of a plate-as-rolled for determination of conformance to the requirements of the material specifications. These testing procedures are not intended to define the upper or lower limits of tensile properties at all possible test locations within a plate-as-rolled. It is well known and documented that tensile properties vary within a plate-as-rolled or individual piece of steel as a function of chemical composition, processing, testing procedure, and other factors. It is, therefore, incumbent on designers and engineers to use sound engineering judgment when using tension test results shown on mill test reports. The testing procedures of this specification have been found to provide material adequate for normal pressure vessel design criteria. X2.2 A survey of the variation to be expected in tensile properties obtained from plates and structural shapes was conducted by the American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI). The results of this survey are contained in a Contributions to the Metallurgy of Steel entitled “The Variation of Product Analysis and Tensile Properties — Carbon Steel Plate, and Wide Flange Shapes” (SU/18, SU/19, and SU/20), published in September 1974. The data are presented in tables of probability that tensile X4.

When tighter bends are required, the manufacturer should be consulted. should be removed by grinding. Sharp corners on edges and on punched or gas cut holes should be removed by chamfering or grinding to a radius. X4.4 If possible, parts should be formed such that the bend line is perpendicular to the direction of final rolling. If it is necessary to bend with the bend line parallel to the direction of final rolling, a more generous radius is suggested (11⁄2 times applicable value given in Table X4.2 for bend lines perpendicular to the direction of rolling. X4.2 The bend radius and the radius of the male die should be as liberal as the finished part will permit. The width across the shoulders of the female die should be at least 8 times the plate thickness. Higher strength steels require larger die openings. The surface of the dies in the area of radius should be smooth.

These can be the heat chemical range and limit for a grade designated in Tables 1 and 2, or another range and limit in accordance with 4.1.2, or with requirements of the product specification. NOTE 1 - Heat aualysis for lead is not determinable since lead is added to the ladle stream while each ingot is poured. When specified as an added element to a standard steel, the percentage of lead is reported as 0.15 to 0.35 incl, which is the range commonly specified for this element. .2.3 If requested or required, the heat analysis shall be reported to the purchaser or his representative. 4.2.4 Reporting of significant figures and rounding shall be in accordance with Test Methods, Practices, and Terminology A 75 1. 4.3 Product Analysis: 4.3.1 Merchant quality carbon bar steel is not subject to rejection for product analysis unless misapplication of & heat is cle&-lYindicate& 4.3.2 Analyses may be made by the purchaser from finished bars other than merchant quality representing each heat of open-hearth, basic-oxygen, or electric-furnace steel. The chemical composition thus determined shall not vary from the limits specified in the applicable specification by more than the amounts prescribed in Table 5 and Table 6, but the several determinations of any element, excluding lead, in a heat may not vary both above and below the specified range. Rimmed or capped steel is characterized by a lack of homogeneity in its composition, especially for the elements carbon, phosphorus, and sulfur; therefore, when rimmed or capped steel is specified or required, the limitations for these elements shall not be applicable. Because of the degree to which phosphorus and sulfur segregate, the limitations for these elements shall not be applicable to rephosphorized or resulfurized steels. 4.3.3 Samples for product analysis shall be taken by one of the following methods: 4.3.3.1 Applicable to small sections whose crosssectional area does not exceed 0.75 in.2 [500 mm2] such as rounds, squares, hexagons, etc. Chips are taken by milling or machining the full cross section of the piece. Drilling is not a feasible method for sampling sizes 0.75 in.2 2 and smaller. §A-29ISA-29M .3.3.2 Applicable to products where the width of the cross section greatly exceeds the thickness, such as bar size shapes and light flat bars. Chips are taken by drilling entirely through the steel at a point midway between the edge and the middle of the section, or by milling or machining the entire cross section. 4.3.3.3 Applicable to large rounds, squares semifinished, etc. Chips are taken at any point midway between the outside and the center of the piece by drilling parallel to the axis or by milling or machining the full cross section. In cases where these methods are not practicable, the piece may be drilled on the side, but chips are not talcen until they represent the portion midway between the outside and the center. 4.3.3.4 When the steel is subject to tension test requirements, the tension test specimen can also be used for product analysis. In that case, chips for product analysis can be taken by drilling entirely through the tension test specimens or by the method described in 4.3.3.1. .3.4 When chips are taken by drilling, the diameter of the drill used shall conform to the following: Area of Sample Cross Section, in.'

Straightness tolerances are not applicable t o bars having Brinell hardness exceeding 3 0 2 . A The foregoing tolerances are based on the following method of measuring straightness: Departure from straightness is measured by placing the bar on a level table so that the arc or departure from straightness is horizontal, and the depth of the arc is measured with a feeler gage and a straightedge. It should be recognized that straightness is a perishable quality and lnay be altered by mishandling. The preservation of straightness in cold-finished bars requires the utmost care in subsequent handling. Specific straightness tolerances are sometimes required for carbon and alloy steels in which case the purchaser should inform the manufacturer of the straightness tolerances and the methods t o be used in checlting the straightness.

Any option or special additions to the basic requirements of this specification shall be clearly and fully stipulated. 6. Chemical Composition 6.1 The chemical composition of the iron shall be such as to produce the structural and mechanical properties required by this specification. 04 SA-47lSA-47M 2004 SECTION I1 Mechanical 7.1 Factors influencing the properties of castings and their relationship to those of test specimens and separate test castings are discussed in Appendix X I . 7. 7.2 Temion Tesr Specirnerzs: 7.2.1 The tension test specimens shall be cast to the form and dimensions shown in Fig. 1 or Fig. 2, in the same kind of molding material used for the production castings. At least three such speci~nensshall be cast from a representative ladle of iron either from each batchmelted heat or, in continuous melting, from each 4-11 pour period during which the purcl~aser'scastings were poured, or as otherwise agreed upon between manufacturer and purchaser. 7.2.2 All test specimens shall be suitably identified with the designation of either the batch-melted heat or the pour period of a continuous heat. 7.2.3 All test specimens shall be heat treated in the same production furnaces and in the same cycles as the castings they represent. However, in those instances wherein the critical sections of the production castings differ appreciably from that of the central portion of the test specimens, the time cycle for tempering the test specimens may be altered from that of the production lot in order to obtain similar microstructures or hardness, or both, in both speci~nenand castings. In such cases the hardness of the specimens shall be tested and reported along with the tensile test results. 7.2.4 The tension test is usually performed on unmachined specimens. However, for referee work, the spccinlen may be machined from the standard cast bar to the dimensions shown in Fig. 3. 7.3 Terisiorz Test Metliod: 7.3.1 The gage length of [he srandard tension specin-ien shall be 2.00 + 0.01 in. [50.0 + 0.3 mm]. 7.3.2 The diameter used to compute the cross-sectional area shall be the average between the largest and smallest diameters in that section of the 2-in. [50-mm] gage length having the smallest diameter and shall be measured to the nearest 0.001 in. [0.2 ~nm].No cast bar having a mean diamcter less than 0.590 in. [15.0 mm] shall be accepted for test. 7.3.3 After reaching a stress equivalent to approximately half of the anticipated yield stress, the speed of the moving head of the testing machine shall not exceed 0.50 in.11nin [12.5 mmlmin] through the breaking load. 7.3.4 While the values for yield point and yield strength are not identical, they are sufficiently close for most applications of fessitic malleable irons to be used interchangeably. They may be detennined by any of the approved techniques described in the paragraphs on Determination of Yield Strength and Yield Point of Test Methods E 8. If determined as yield strength, that stress producing an extension under load of 0.01 in. 10.25 mm] over the 2-in. [50-mm] gage length (for example, 0.5% extension) or an offset of 0.2% shall be taken as the yield stress, which shall be converted to yield strength by dividing by the original cross-sectional area of the gage length found in accordance with 7.3.2. It shall be reported to the nearest 100 psi [MPa]. In referee work, yield strength shall be determined as the stress that produces an extension under load of 0.5% of the gage length. 7.3.5 The tensile strcngth shall be the maxi~num load c m i e d by the specimen during the test divided by the original cross-sectional area of the gage length, as found in accordance with 7.3.2. It shall be reported to the nearest 100 psi [MPa]. 7.3.6 The elongation is the increase in gage length after fracture of a tensile specimen, measured to the nearest 0.01 in. [0.25 mm], expressed as a percentage of the original gage length. It shall be reported to the nearest 0.5%. 7.4 Retestirrg: 7.4.1 If, after testing, a specimen shows evidence of a defect, another tension test may be made on a cornpanion specimen. Also, a retest shall be peimiited whenever frach~reoccurs outside the central 50% of the gage length. 7.4.2 If the results of a valid test fail to conform to the requirements of this specification, two retests shall be made. If either retest fails to meet the specification, the castings represented by these test specimens shall be rejected. A valid test is one wherein the test specimen has been properly prepared and appears to be sound and on which the approved test procedure has been followed. 7.4.3 If sufficient companion test bars are unavailable, the manufacturer shall have the option of testing a specimen cut from a representative casting. Therefore, as stated in XI .3, the mechanical properties of such tension test specimen removed from a production casting will not necessarily correspond to those of a standard separately cast test specimen, the values in Table 1 do not apply. Instead, the mechanical properties of the test specimen from the casting must equal or exceed the average of those from similar test specimens removed from the same location from two castings of the same design where separately cast test bars meet the requirements of Table 1. 7.4.4 If the first test results indicate that a reheat treatment is needed to meet the test requirements, the entire lot of castings and the representative test specimens PART A -FERROUS MATERIAL SPECIFICATIONS shall be reheat treated together. Testing shall then be repeated in accordance with 7.4.1-7.4.3. 7.4.5 The results of all tests, including retests, shall be posted in permanent record, which shall state any abnormalities observed during the test and in the fractured ends. Such records shall be kept for at least 1 year after shipment of the production castings and shall be available for examination by the purchaser or by his authorized representative. 7.4.6 If not covered in the purchase agreement, the frequency of tension testing shall be in accordance with 7.2.1 and sufficiently often to ensure unifomity of product and compliance with minimum test requirements. 7.4.7 Tension test results, obtained in accordance with the above subsections, must conform to the values of Table I for acceptance under this specification except as provided in 7.4.3. 7.4.8 When agreed upon between manufacturer and purchaser, tested specimens or unbroken test bars shall be preserved by the manufacturer for a period of three months after the date of the test report. 7.5 Hal-dness T e s t - If the purchase agreement requires hardness testing, the acceptable hardness range shall be stated and a test location clearly shown on the covering drawing(s). 7.5.1 Hal-&ess Test Metlzod - The Brinell method of hardness testing in accordance with Test Method E 10 shall be employed whenever possible. 7.5.2 For castings of such size or shape that do not pennit Brinell testing with the standard 3000-kgf load, the 500 kgf may be employed, the hardness number being reported as HB 101500115. In very unusual cases where it is impossible to use the Brinell method, the Rockwell test may bc substituted, nsing Test Methods E 18 with an appropriate Rockwell scale. Convcrsions of liardness values from one method to another according to Standard E 140, which does not specifically cover cast irons, are approxin~ateonly and, therefore, are generally inadvisable. 7.5.3 Sufficient material shall be removed from the cast surface to ensure that the measured surface is representative. 7.5.4 Sampling procedures and the frequency of hardness testing shall be fully detailed on the purchase agreement. Otherwise, hardness tests shall be performed at the discretion of the producer. 7.5.5 Castings failing to conform to the required hardness range may be reheat treated and retested. If after reheat treating they still fail the hardness requirements, they shall be rejected. §A-47lSA-47M 7.5.6 Typical hardness maximums for this grade of malleable iron are listed in Table 2. 8. Microstructure Requirements 8.1 The ~nicrostsuctureof the malleable iron shall consist of temper carbon nodules distsibuted through a femtic matrix and shall be free of excessive pearlite, massive carbides, and primary graphite. 8.2 When agreed upon by the purchaser and producer, the maxi~numdecarburization at any as-cast surface after heat treatment may be stipulated in writing, as measured by visual depletion of combined carbon after polishing, etching in nital, and viewing at 100x. 8.3 In reference work, the metallographic practice recommended in Test Method A 247 shall be followed. Soundness hquirements 9.1 All castings, on visual examination, shall be sound and free of obvious shrinkage and porosity. 9. 9.2 If the purchaser requires soundness tests to be performed, it shall be so stated in the purchase agreement, and the method and soundness requirements shall be detailed. 10. Dimensional Requirements 10.1 The castings shall conform to the dimensions given on drawings furnished by the purchaser, or to the dimensions established by the pattern equipment supplied by the purchaser, or as agreed upon in specific cases to gages supplied by the purchaser. Variations in any solid dimensions will be permitted, as shown in Table 3, unless otherwise agreed upon by the foundry and purchaser. 11. Worhanship, Finish and Appearance 11.1 The surface of the casting shall be inspected visually, particularly in critical areas, for such surface defects as cracks, hot tears, adhering sand and scale, cold shuts, and gas holes. 11.2 No repairing or plugging of any kind shall be permitted unless written permission is granted by the purchaser. Welding or brazing is not permitted under any circumstances. 11.3 DELETED onsibility for Inspection 12.1 Unless otherwise specified in the contract or purchase order, the manufacturer shall be responsible for SA-47lSA-47M 2004 SECTION I1 sampled, tested, and inspected in accordance with this specification, including a report of test results signed by an authorized agent of the manufacturer, shall be furnished at the time of shipment, and such certification or compliance statement shall be the basis for acceptance of the casting or lot of castings. carrying out all the tests and inspections required by this specification, using his own or other reliable facilities, and he shall maintain complete records of all such tests and inspections. Such records shall be available for review by the purchaser. 12.2 The purchaser reserves the right to perfonn any inspection set forth in the specification where such inspections are deemed necessary to ensure that supplies and services conform to the prescribed requirements. 15. Product Marking 15.1 When the size of the casting permits, each casting shall bear the identifying inarlc of the manufactuser and the part or pattern number at a location shown on the covering drawing and, if not shown on the drawing, at such a location at the discretion of the producer that the identification will not interfere with s~lbsequentprocessing and service of the casting. 13. Rejection and Rehearing 15.1 Any casting or lot of castings failing to comply with the requirements of this specification may, where possible, be reprocessed, retested, and reinspected. If the tests and inspections on the reprocessed casting(s) show compliance with this specification, the castings shall be acceptable; if they do not, they shall be rejected. 13.2 If the purchaser should find that a casting or lot of castings fails to comply with this specification subsequent to receipt at his facility, he shall so notify the manufacturer promptly and in no case later than six weelts after receipt of the shipment, stating clearly his basis for rejection. In case of dissatisfaction with the purchaser's claim, the manufacturer may apply for a hearing before final rejectior, of the shipment. 16.1 Unless otherwise stated in the contract or order, the cleaning, preservation, and paclung of castings for shipment shall be in accordance with the manufacturer's commercial practice. Packaging and marking shall also be adequate to identify the contents and to ensure acceptance and safe delivery by the canier for the mode of transporiaiion employed. 14.

The purchase order shall stipulate whether the foundry's inspector or the pnrchaser's inspector shall break, inspect, and pass judgment on the fracture quality of these test lugs. S4. Special Tension Specimens S4.1 If tension specimens are to be machined from castings, their location in the casting, the speci~nendimensions, and the required properties shall be agreed upon in writing by the foundry and purchaser. S5. Zinc-Coated Castiugs S5.1 When specified in the contract or purchase order-, castings shall be zinc-coated by the hot-dip process in accordance with Specification A 153. Castings shall be of a composition that will preclude the possibility of galvanizing embrittlement, or shall be either cooled from the anneal or subsequently heat treated so as to be immunized against such embrittlement. If regalvanizing is required, procedures for regalvanizing castings and determining the effect on the casting perfor~nancemust be agreed upon between the purchaser and the seller. S6. S3. Destrlnctive Tests $3.1 At the option of the pmchaser or his representative, a casting of each design ordered may be tested to destntction, or otherwise broken up, to determine the presence of any manufacturing condition that might be detrimental to the serviceability of the casting. Marlring of Casting for Government Procurement S6.1 When castings are specified for government procurement, the location of the permanent lnarlcings specified in 15.1, as well as any special making for inechanical or physical properties (either perinanent or temporary), shall be as indicated on the goveinment drawings or sketches. PART A - FERROUS MATERIAL SPECIFICATIONS NICAL PROPERT CASTINGS S1.d The mechanical properties of malleable iron castings are influenced by a number of factors, including the cooling rate during solidification, chemical composition, the heat treatment, the design of the casting, section thickness, and the location and effectiveness of gates, risers, and chills. X1.2 Because of the complexity of these factors in influencing the properties of the final product, no precise quantitative relationship can be stated between the properties of the iron in vasious locations of the same casting or between the properties of a casting and those of a test specimen cast from the same iron. When such a relationship is important and must be known for a specific application, it may be determined by appropriate experimentation. X1.3 The specimen specified in 7.2.1 as the standard tensiie test bar for maileabie iron has a 5/8-in. [16-rmnj diameter test section that reasonably represents a typical section of the general run of malleable iron castings. Furthermore, the initial freezing of malleable irons as homogeneous white iron, together with the heat treatment that is inherent in the manufacture of malleable iron, tends to r e d ~ ~ cthe e section-sensitivity effect. Therefore, where experinlentation into precise properties within a given casting would be infeasible, this standard test bar, made like any typical casting, should provide a practical approximation of the properties that can be expected in average sound malleable iron casting. X1.4 If malleable iron castings are welded, the microstructure of the iron is markedly affected, pasticularly in the heat-affected zone. Therefore, since this may adversely affect the properties of the casting, the welding of malleable iron castings should be done under strict metallurgical control, followed by appropriate post-weld heat treatment, to minimize the substantial reductions in ductility, impact resistance, and machinability that could result, particularly in the vicinity of the weldment. Nevertheless, it is generally considered inadvisable to join castings to similar castings or to other materials, by fusion welding out in the field, or in manufactured assemblies, without fully testing the entire completed past.

It shall be permissible to furnish pipe having other dimensions (Note 2) provided such pipe complies with all other requirements of this specification. 1.3.3 Type E is furnished either nonexpanded or cold expanded at the option of the manufacturer. NOTE 1 — The dimensionless designators NPS (nominal pipe size) [DN (diameter nominal)] have been substituted in this specification for such traditional terms as “nominal diameter,” “size,” and “nominal size.” 1.5 The following precautionary caveat pertains only to the test method portion, Sections 9, 10, 11, 15, 16, and 17 of this specification: This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. 1.4 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in non-conformance with the standard. NOTE 2 — The term nominal wall thickness has been assigned for the purpose of convenient designation, existing in name only, and is used to distinguish it from the actual wall thickness, which may vary over or under the nominal wall thickness. 1.2 This specification covers the following types and grades: 1.6 The text of this specification contains notes or footnotes, or both, that provide explanatory material. Such notes and footnotes, excluding those in tables and figures, do not contain any mandatory requirements. 1.2.1 Type F — Furnace-butt welded, continuous welded Grade A, 1.2.2 Type E — Electric-resistance welded, Grades A and B, and 1.2.3 Type S — Seamless, Grades A and B. 2.

SA-53/SA-53M is a test for ductility, no cracks or breaks on the inside, outside, or end surfaces, except as provided for in 9.7, shall occur until the distance between the plates is less than the value of H calculated as follows: H p (1 + e) t/(e + t/D) where: 7. Tensile Requirements 7.1 The material shall conform to the requirements as to tensile properties prescribed in Table 2. H p distance between flattening plates, in. [mm] (Note 4), e p deformation per unit length (constant for a given grade of steel, 0.09 for Grade A, and 0.07 for Grade B), t p nominal wall thickness, in. [mm], and D p specified outside diameter, in. [mm] 7.2 The yield strength corresponding to a permanent offset of 0.2% of the gage length of the specimen or to a total extension of 0.5% of the gage length under load shall be determined. 9.2.2 During the second step, which is a test for soundness, the flattening shall be continued until the test specimen breaks or the opposite sides of the pipe meet. Evidence of laminated or unsound material that is revealed during the entire flattening test shall be cause for rejection. 7.3 The test specimen taken across the weld shall show a tensile strength not less than the minimum tensile strength specified for the grade of pipe ordered. This test will not be required for pipe under NPS 8 [DN 200]. 7.4 Transverse tension test specimens for electricwelded pipe NPS 8 [DN 200] and larger shall be taken opposite the weld. All transverse test specimens shall be approximately 11⁄2 in. [40 mm] wide in the gage length, and shall represent the full wall thickness of the pipe from which the specimen was cut. This test is required for NPS 8 [DN 200] and larger. NOTE 4 — The H values have been calculated for standard and extraheavy weight sizes from NPS 21⁄2 to NPS 24 [DN 65 to DN 600], inclusive, and are shown in Table X2.1. 9.3 Electric-Resistance-Welded Pipe — A test specimen at least 4 in. [100 mm] in length shall be flattened cold between parallel plates in three steps, with the weld located either 0° or 90° from the line of direction of force as required in 9.3.1 or 9.3.2, whichever is applicable. During the first step, which is a test for ductility of the weld, no cracks or breaks on the inside or outside surfaces at the weld shall occur until the distance between the plates is less than two thirds of the specified diameter of the pipe. As a second step, the flattening shall be continued as a test for ductility away from the weld. During the second step, no cracks or breaks on the inside or outside surfaces away from the weld, except as provided for in 9.7, shall occur until the distance between the plates is less than one third of the specified outside diameter of the pipe but is not less than five times the wall thickness of the pipe. During the third step, which is a test for soundness, the flattening shall be continued until the test specimen breaks or the opposite walls of the pipe meet. Evidence of laminated or unsound material or of incomplete weld that is revealed by the flattening test shall be cause for rejection. 8. Bending Requirements 8.1 For pipe NPS 2 [DN 50] and under, a sufficient length of pipe shall be capable of being bent cold through 90° around a cylindrical mandrel, the diameter of which is twelve times the outside diameter of the pipe, without developing cracks at any portion and without opening the weld. 8.2 When ordered for close coiling, the pipe shall stand being bent cold through 180° around a cylindrical mandrel, the diameter of which is eight times the outside diameter of the pipe, without failure. 8.3 Double-extra-strong pipe over NPS 11⁄4 [DN 32] need not be subjected to the bend test. 9. Flattening Test 9.1 The flattening test shall be made on pipe over NPS 2 [DN 50] with all thicknesses extra strong and lighter. 9.3.1 For pipe produced in single lengths, the flattening test specified in 9.3 shall be made using a test specimen taken from each end of each length of pipe.

During the first step, which 169 Copyright ASME International Provided by IHS under license with ASME No reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS Not for Resale SA-53/SA-53M 2004 SECTION II 9.3.2 For pipe produced in multiple lengths, the flattening test specified in 9.3 shall be made as follows: cracks at these locations shall not be cause for rejection if the D-to-t ratio is less than 10. 9.3.2.1 Test specimens taken from, and representative of, the front end of the first pipe intended to be supplied from each coil, the back end of the last pipe intended to be supplied from each coil, and each side of any intermediate weld stop location shall be flattened with the weld located at 90° from the line of direction of force. 10. Hydrostatic Test 10.1 The hydrostatic test shall be applied, without leakage through the pipe wall, to each length of pipe except as provided in 11.2 for seamless pipe. 10.2 Each length of plain-end pipe shall be hydrostatically tested to the pressures prescribed in Table X2.2, and each threaded-and-coupled length shall be hydrostatically tested to the pressures prescribed in Table X2.3. It shall be permissible, at the discretion of the manufacturer, to perform the hydrostatic test on pipe with plain ends, with threads only, or with threads and couplings and also shall be permissible to test pipe in either single lengths or multiple lengths. 9.3.2.2 Test specimens taken from pipe at any two locations intermediate to the front end of the first pipe and the back end of the last pipe intended to be supplied from each coil shall be flattened with the weld located at 0° from the line of direction of force. 9.3.3 For pipe that is to be subsequently reheated throughout its cross section and hot formed by a reducing process, the manufacturer shall have the option of obtaining the flattening test specimens required by 9.3.1 or 9.3.2, whichever is applicable, either prior to or after such hot reducing. NOTE 5 — The hydrostatic test pressures given herein are inspection test pressures, are not intended as a basis for design, and do not have any direct relationship to working pressures. --`,,```,,,,````-`-`,,`,,`,`,,`--- 10.3 The minimum hydrostatic test pressure required to satisfy these requirements need not exceed 2500 psi [17 200 kPa] for NPS 3 [DN 80] and under, nor 2800 psi [19 300 kPa] for all sizes over NPS 3 [DN 80]. This does not prohibit testing at a higher pressure at the manufacturer’s option. The hydrostatic pressure shall be maintained for not less than 5 s for all sizes of seamless and electric-welded pipe. 9.4 Continuous-Welded Pipe — A test specimen at least 4 in. [100 mm] in length shall be flattened cold between parallel plates in three steps. The weld shall be located at 90° from the line of direction of force. During the first step, which is a test for ductility of the weld, no cracks or breaks on the inside, outside, or end surfaces at the weld shall occur until the distance between the plates is less than three fourths of the specified diameter of the pipe. As a second step, the flattening shall be continued as a test for ductility away from the weld. During the second step, no cracks or breaks on the inside, outside, or end surfaces away from the weld, except as provided for in 9.7, shall occur until the distance between the plates is less than 60% of the specified outside diameter of the pipe. During the third step, which is a test for soundness, the flattening shall be continued until the test specimen breaks or the opposite walls of the pipe meet. Evidence of laminated or unsound material or of incomplete weld that is revealed by the flattening test shall be cause for rejection. 11. Nondestructive Electric Test 11.1 Type E Pipe: 11.1.1 The weld seam of each length of ERW pipe NPS 2 [DN 50] and larger shall be tested with a nondestructive electric test in accordance with Practice E 213, E 309, or E 570 as follows: 11.1.2 Ultrasonic and Electromagnetic Inspection — Any equipment utilizing the ultrasonic or electromagnetic principles and capable of continuous and uninterrupted inspection of the weld seam shall be used. The equipment shall be checked with an applicable reference standard as described in 11.1.3 at least once every working turn or not more than 8 h to demonstrate its effectiveness and the inspection procedures. The equipment shall be adjusted to produce well-defined indications when the reference standard is scanned by the inspection unit in a manner simulating the inspection of the product. 9.5 Surface imperfections in the test specimen before flattening, but revealed during the first step of the flattening test, shall be judged in accordance with the finish requirements in Section 14. 9.6 Superficial ruptures as a result of surface imperfections shall not be cause for rejection. 11.1.3 Reference Standards — The length of the reference standards shall be determined by the pipe manufacturer, and they shall have the same specified diameter and thickness as the product being inspected. Reference 9.7 When low D-to-t ratio tubulars are tested, because the strain imposed due to geometry is unreasonably high on the inside surface at the 6 and 12 o’clock locations, 170 Copyright ASME International Provided by IHS under license with ASME No reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS Not for Resale PART A — FERROUS MATERIAL SPECIFICATIONS standards shall contain machined notches, one on the inside surface and one on the outside surface, or a drilled hole, as shown in Fig. 1, at the option of the pipe manufacturer. The notches shall be parallel to the weld seam, and shall be separated by a distance sufficient to produce two separate and distinguishable signals. The 1⁄8-in. [3.2-mm] hole shall be drilled through the wall and perpendicular to the surface of the reference standard as shown in Fig. 1. Care shall be taken in the preparation of the reference standard to ensure freedom from fins or other edge roughness, or distortion of the pipe. location of significant longitudinally or circumferentially oriented imperfections; however, different techniques need to be employed for the detection of differently oriented imperfections. Ultrasonic testing is not necessarily capable of detecting short, deep imperfections. 11.2.2.3 The eddy current examination referenced in this specification has the capability of detecting significant discontinuities, especially of the short abrupt type. 11.2.2.4 The flux leakage examination referred to in this specification is capable of detecting the presence and location of significant longitudinally or transversely oriented discontinuities. The provisions of this specification only require longitudinal calibration for flux leakage. Different techniques need to be employed for the detection of differently oriented imperfections. NOTE 6 — The calibration standards defined in 11.1.3 are convenient standards for calibration of nondestructive testing equipment. The dimensions of such standards are not to be construed as the minimum sizes of imperfections detectable by such equipment. 11.1.4 Acceptance Limits — Table 3 gives the height of acceptance limit signals in percent of the height of signals produced by reference standards. Imperfections in the weld seam that produce a signal greater than the acceptance limit signal given in Table 3 shall be considered a defect unless the pipe manufacturer can demonstrate that the imperfection does not reduce the effective wall thickness beyond 12 1 ⁄2 % of the specified wall thickness. 11.2.2.5 The hydrostatic test referred to in 10.2 has the capability of finding imperfections of a size permitting the test fluid to leak through the tube wall and may be either visually seen or detected by a loss of pressure. Hydrostatic testing is not necessarily capable of detecting very tight through-the-wall imperfections or imperfections that extend an appreciable distance into the wall without complete penetration. 11.2 Seamless Pipe — As an alternative to the hydrostatic test, and when specified by the purchaser, the full body of each seamless pipe shall be tested with a nondestructive electric test in accordance with Practices E 213, E 309, or E 570. In this case each length so furnished shall include the mandatory marking of the letters “NDE.” Except as provided in 11.2.6.2 it is the intent of this test to reject pipe with imperfections which produce test signals equal to or greater than that of the calibration standard. 11.2.2.6 A purchaser interested in ascertaining the nature (type, size, location, and orientation) of imperfections that are capable of being detected in the specific application of these examinations is directed to discuss this with the manufacturer of the tubular product. 11.2.3 For ultrasonic testing, the calibration reference notches shall be at the option of the producer, and shall be any one of the three common notch shapes shown in Practice E 213. The depth of notch shall not exceed 12.5% of the specified wall thickness of the pipe or 0.004 in. [0.1 mm], whichever is greater. 11.2.1 When the nondestructive electric test is performed, the lengths shall be marked with the letters “NDE.” The certification, when required, shall state Nondestructive Electric Tested and shall indicate which of the tests was applied. Also, the letters NDE shall be appended to the product specification number and material grade shown on the certification. 11.2.4 For eddy current testing, the calibration pipe shall contain, at the option of the producer, any one of the following calibration standards to establish a minimum sensitivity level for rejection. 11.2.2 The following information is intended to facilitate the use of this specification. 11.2.4.1 Drilled Hole — Depending upon the pipe diameter the calibration pipe shall contain three holes spaced 120° apart or four holes spaced 90° apart and sufficiently separated longitudinally to ensure separately distinguishable responses. The holes shall be drilled radially and completely through the pipe wall, care being taken to avoid distortion of the pipe while drilling. Depending upon the pipe diameter the calibration pipe shall contain the following hole: 11.2.2.1 The calibration standards defined in 11.2.3 through 11.2.5 are convenient standards for calibration of nondestructive testing equipment. The dimensions of such standards are not to be construed as the minimum sizes of imperfections detectable by such equipment. 11.2.2.2 The ultrasonic testing referred to in this specification is capable of detecting the presence and 171 Copyright ASME International Provided by IHS under license with ASME No reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS SA-53/SA-53M Not for Resale SA-53/SA-53M NPS ≤ 1⁄2 > 1⁄2 ≤ 11⁄4 > 11⁄4 ≤ 2 >2≤ 5 >5 2004 SECTION II DN ≤ 15 > 15 ≤ 32 > 32 ≤ 50 > 50 ≤ 125 > 125 Diameter of Drilled Hole 0.039 in.

The length of the notch shall be compatible with the testing method. 11.2.4.4 Compatibility — The discontinuity in the calibration pipe shall be compatible with the testing equipment and the method being used. 11.2.5 For flux leakage testing, the longitudinal calibration reference notches shall be straight sided notches machined in a radial plane parallel to the pipe axis. For wall thickness under 0.500 in. [12.7 mm], outside and inside notches shall be used. For wall thickness equal and above 0.500 in. [12.7 mm], only an outside notch shall be used. Notch depth shall not exceed 12.5% of the specified wall thickness, or 0.012 in. [0.3 mm], whichever is greater. Notch length shall not exceed 1 in. [25 mm], and the width shall not exceed the depth. Outside diameter and inside diameter notches shall be located sufficiently apart to allow separation and identification of the signals. 11.2.6 Pipe containing one or more imperfections that produce a signal equal to or greater than the signal produced by the calibration standard shall be rejected or the area producing the signal shall be rejected. 11.2.6.1 Test signals produced by imperfections that cannot be identified, or produced by cracks or cracklike imperfections, shall result in rejection of the pipe, unless it is repaired and retested. To be accepted, the pipe must pass the same specification test to which it was originally subjected, provided that the remaining wall thickness is not decreased below that permitted by the specification. It shall be permissible to reduce the outside diameter at the point of grinding by the amount so removed. 11.2.6.2 It shall be permissible to evaluate test signals produced by visual imperfections in accordance 12.

The computed test pressure shall be used in all cases with the following exceptions: (1) When the wall thickness is greater than the heaviest wall thickness shown for a given diameter, the test pressure for the heaviest wall listed shall be the required test pressure. (2) For Grades A and B in sizes under NPS 2 [DN 50], when the wall thickness is lighter than the lightest shown for a given diameter, use the test pressure given for the lightest wall thickness of the table for the diameter involved. (3) For all sizes of Grades A and B pipe smaller than NPS 2 [DN 50], the test pressure has been arbitrarily assigned. Test pressures for intermediate outside diameters need not exceed those for the next larger listed size.

Ordering Information 3.1 It is the purchaser’s responsibility to specify in the purchase order all ordering information as necessary to purchase the needed material. Examples of such information include but are not limited to the following: 5.1.5 Piping components of Special Class other than flanges which meet both of the following criteria: (1) over NPS 4 and (2) when the working pressure at the operating temperature exceeds the tabulated values for Special Class 300, Group 1.1. 3.1.1 Quantity, 3.1.2 Size and pressure class or dimensions (Tolerances and surface finishes should be included), 5.2 Heat treatment when required by 5.1 shall be annealing, normalizing, or normalizing and tempering or quenching and tempering. 3.1.3 Specification number (The year date should be included), 3.1.4 Supplementary requirements, and 5.2.1 Annealing — The procedure for annealing shall consist of allowing the forgings immediately after forging or rolling, to cool to a temperature below 1000°F [538°C]. They shall then be reheated to a temperature between 1550°F [843°C] and 1700°F [927°C] to refine the grain (a group thus reheated being known as an “annealing charge”) and allowed to cool uniformly in the furnace. 3.1.5 Additional requirements (See Table 1 footnotes, 12.1, and 16.2). 4. Materials and Manufacture 4.1 The steel shall be made by the open-hearth, basicoxygen, or electric-furnace process and shall be fully killed. 4.3 The material shall be forged as close as practicable to the specified shape and size. 5.2.2 Normalizing — The procedure for normalizing shall consist of allowing the forgings, immediately after forging or rolling, to cool to a temperature below 1000°F [538°C]. They shall then be uniformly reheated to a temperature between 1550°F [843°C] and 1700°F [927°C] to refine the grain (a group thus reheated being known as a “normalizing charge”) and allowed to cool in air. 4.4 Except for flanges of all types, hollow cylindrically shaped parts may be machined from hot-rolled bar, forged bar, or seamless tubular materials provided that the axial length of the part is approximately parallel to the metal flow lines of the stock. Other parts (up to and 5.2.3 Tempering — The procedure for tempering shall consist of heating the forgings to a temperature between 1100°F [593°C] and the lower transformation temperature for a minimum of 1⁄2 h /in. [1⁄2 h /25.4 mm] of maximum section thickness. 4.2 A sufficient discard shall be made from source material to secure freedom from injurious piping and undue segregation. 196 Copyright ASME International Provided by IHS under license with ASME No reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS Not for Resale PART A — FERROUS MATERIAL SPECIFICATIONS SA-105 /SA-105M 5.2.4 Quenching — The procedure for quenching shall consist of either (1) fully austenitizing the forgings followed by quenching in a suitable liquid medium or (2) using a multiple stage procedure whereby the forging is first fully austenitized and rapidly cooled, then reheated to partially reaustenitize, followed by quenching in a suitable liquid medium. All quenched forgings shall be tempered as prescribed in 5.2.3. of the represented forging. In addition, for quenched and tempered forgings, the midlength of the test specimen shall be at least T from any second heat-treated surface. When section thickness does not permit this positioning, the test specimen shall be positioned as near as possible to the prescribed location. 6. 9.4.2 One tension test shall be made from each heat-treating charge. If more than one heat is included in such a charge, each heat shall be tested. 9.4 Tension Tests: 9.4.1 One tension test shall be made for each heat of as-forged components. Chemical Composition 6.1 The steel shall conform to the chemical requirements specified in Table 1. Test Methods, Practices and Terminology A 751 shall apply. 9.4.2.1 When the heat-treating temperatures are the same and the furnaces (either batch or continuous type), are controlled within ±25°F [±14°C] and equipped with recording pyrometers so that complete records of heat treatment are available, then one tension test from each heat is required instead of one test from each heat in each heat-treatment charge. The test specimen material shall be included with a furnace charge. 6.2 Steels to which lead has been added shall not be used. 7. Cast or Heat (Formerly Ladle) Analysis 7.1 An analysis of each heat of steel shall be made from samples taken, preferably during the pouring of the heat, and the results shall conform with Table 1. 9.4.3 Testing shall be performed in accordance with Test Methods and Definitions A 370. The largest feasible round specimen as described in Test Methods and Definitions A 370 shall be used except when hollow cylindrically shaped parts are machined from seamless tubulars. The gage length for measuring elongation shall be four times the diameter of the test section. When hollow cylindrically shaped parts are machined from seamless tubular materials, strip tests may be used. 8. --`,,```,,,,````-`-`,,`,,`,`,,`--- Product Analysis 8.1 The purchaser may make a product analysis on forgings supplied to this specification. Samples for analysis may be taken from midway between center and surface of solid forgings, midway between inner and outer surfaces of hollow forgings, midway between center and surface of full-size prolongations, or from broken mechanical test specimens. The chemical composition thus determined shall conform to Table 1 within the tolerances stated in Table 2. 9.4.4 Forgings too small to permit obtaining a subsize specimen of 0.250 in. [6.35 mm] diameter or larger (see Test Methods and Definitions A 370) parallel to the dimension of maximum working, and produced in equipment unsuitable for the production of a separately forged test bar such as an automatic or semi-automatic press, may be accepted on the basis of hardness only. One percent of the forgings per lot (see Note 2), or ten forgings, whichever is the lesser number, shall be selected at random, prepared, and tested using the standard Brinell test in Test Methods and Definitions A 370. The locations of the indentations shall be at the option of the manufacturer but shall be selected to be representative of the forging as a whole. One indentation per forging shall be required but additional indentations may be made to establish the representative hardness. The hardness of all forgings so tested shall be 137 to 187 HB inclusive. 9. Mechanical Properties 9.1 The material shall conform to the mechanical property requirements prescribed in Tables 3 and 4. 9.2 For the purpose of determining conformance with Tables 3 and 4, specimens shall be obtained from production forgings after heat treatment, when heat treatment is required, or from separately forged test blanks prepared from the stock used to make the finished product. Such test blanks shall receive approximately the same working as the finished product. The test blanks shall be heat treated with the finished product. NOTE 2 — A lot is defined as the product from a mill heat or if heat treated, the product of a mill heat per furnace charge. 9.3 For normalized, normalized and tempered, or quenched and tempered forgings, the central axis of the test specimen shall correspond to the 1⁄4 T plane or deeper position, where T is the maximum heat-treated thickness 9.5 Hardness Tests — Except when only one forging is produced, a minimum of two forgings shall be hardness 197 Copyright ASME International Provided by IHS under license with ASME No reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS Not for Resale SA-105 /SA-105M 2004 SECTION II --`,,```,,,,````-`-`,,`,,`,`,,`--- tested per batch or continuous run as defined in 9.4.2.1 to ensure that forgings are within the hardness limits given in Table 3. When only one forging is produced, it shall be hardness tested as defined in 9.4.2.1 to ensure it is within the hardness limits given in Table 3. Testing shall be in accordance with Test Methods and Definitions A 370. The purchaser may verify that the requirement has been met by testing at any location on the forging, provided such testing does not render the forging useless. 10. 12.3 Machining or Grinding Imperfections Not Classified as Injurious — Surface imperfections not classified as injurious shall be treated as follows: 12.3.1 Forgings showing seams, laps, tears, or slivers not deeper than 5% of the nominal wall thickness or 1⁄16 in. [1.6 mm], whichever is less, need not have these imperfections removed. If the imperfections require removal, they shall be removed by machining or grinding. 12.3.2 Mechanical marks or abrasions and pits shall be acceptable without grinding or machining provided the depth does not exceed the limitations set forth in 12.2 and if not deeper than 1⁄16 in. [1.6 mm]. If such imperfections are deeper than 1⁄16 in. [1.6 mm], but do not encroach on the minimum wall thickness of the forging, they shall be removed by grinding to sound metal. Hydrostatic Tests 10.1 Forgings manufactured under this specification shall be capable of passing a hydrostatic test compatible with the rating of the finished forging. Such tests shall be conducted by the forging manufacturer only when Supplementary Requirement S7 is specified. 11. 12.3.3 When imperfections have been removed by grinding or machining, the outside dimension at the point of grinding or machining may be reduced by the amount removed. Should it be impracticable to secure a direct measurement, the wall thickness at the point of grinding, or at imperfections not required to be removed, shall be determined by deducting the amount removed by grinding from the nominal finished wall thickness of forging, and the remainder shall not be less than the minimum specified or required wall thickness. Retreatment 11.1 If the results of the mechanical tests do not conform to the requirement specified, the manufacturer may heat treat or reheat treat the forgings as applicable and repeat the test specified in Section 9. 12. 13. Repair by Welding 13.1 Repair of defects by the manufacturer is permissible for forgings made to dimensional standards such as those of ANSI or for other parts made for stock by the manufacturer. Prior approval of the purchaser is required to repair-weld special forgings made to the purchaser’s requirements. Workmanship, Finish, and Appearance 12.1 The forgings shall be free of injurious imperfections, as defined below, and shall have a workmanlike finish. At the discretion of the inspector representing the purchaser, finished forgings shall be subject to rejection if surface imperfections acceptable under 12.3 are not scattered but appear over a large area in excess of what is considered a workmanlike finish. Unless otherwise specified in the purchase order, the fittings shall be cleaned to remove all scale and processing compounds prior to final surface examination. The cleaning process shall not injure the surface finish, material properties, or the metallurgical structure. The cleaned fittings shall be protected to prevent recontamination. Protective coatings on socket weld and butt welding fittings shall be suitable for subsequent welding without removal of the coating. When specified in the purchase order, parts may be furnished in the as-formed or as-forged condition. 13.2 The welding procedure and welders shall be qualified in accordance with Section IX of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code. 13.3 Weld repairs shall be made by a process that does not produce undesirably high levels of hydrogen in the welded areas. 13.4 Defects shall be completely removed by chipping or grinding to sound metal as verified by magnetic particle inspection prior to welding. 13.5 After repair welding, the area welded shall be ground smooth to the original contour and shall be completely free of defects as verified by magnetic-particle or liquid-penetrant inspection. 12.2 Depth of Injurious Imperfections — Selected typical linear and other typical surface imperfections shall be explored for depth. When the depth encroaches on the minimum wall thickness of the finished forging, such imperfections shall be considered injurious. 13.6 All forgings repaired by welding shall be postweld heat treated between 1100°F [593°C] and the lower transformation temperature for a minimum of 1⁄2 h /in. 198 Copyright ASME International Provided by IHS under license with ASME No reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS Not for Resale PART A — FERROUS MATERIAL SPECIFICATIONS SA-105 /SA-105M [1⁄2 h /25.4 mm] of maximum section thickness, or alternatively annealed, normalized and tempered, or quenched and tempered. If the forging was not previously heat treated, the original tempering temperature was exceeded, or the forging was fully heat treated in the post weld cycle, then the forging shall be tested in accordance with Section 9 on completion of the cycle. 16.2 Test Reports — When test reports are required, the manufacturer shall also provide the following, where applicable: 13.7 The mechanical properties of the procedurequalification weldment shall, when tested in accordance with Section IX of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, conform with the requirements listed in Table 3 for the thermal condition of repair-welded forgings. 16.2.3 Chemical analysis results, Section 6 (Table 1). When the amount of an unspecified element is less than 0.02%, then the analysis for that element may be reported as “<0.02%,” 13.8 Repair by welding shall not exceed 10% of the surface area of the forging nor 331⁄3% of the wall thickness of the finished forging or 3⁄8 in. [10 mm] whichever is less, without prior approval of the purchaser. 16.2.5 Any supplementary testing required by the purchase order. 14. 16.2.1 Type heat treatment, Section 5, 16.2.2 Tensile property results, Section 9 (Table 3), report the yield strength and ultimate strength in ksi [MPa], elongation and reduction in area, in percent, 16.2.4 Hardness results, Section 9 (Table 3), and 17. Product Marking 17.1 Identification marks consisting of the manufacturer’s symbol or name (see Note 3), the heat number or manufacturer’s heat identificaion, designation of service rating, this specification number, and size shall be forged or legibly stamped on each forging, and in such a position as not to injure the usefullness of the forging. The Standard Marking System of Valves, Fittings, Flanges, and Unions (SP-25-1978) of the Manufacturers’ Standardization Society of the Valve and Fittings Industry may be followed except the word “Steel” shall not be substituted for this specification number. Inspection 14.1 The manufacturer shall afford the purchaser’s inspector all reasonable facilities necessary to satisfy him that the material is being furnished in accordance with the purchase order. Inspection by the purchaser shall not interfere unnecessarily with the manufacturer’s operations. All tests and inspections shall be made at the place of manufacture, unless otherwise agreed upon. 15. NOTE 3 — For purposes of identification marking, the manufacturer is considered the organization that certifies the piping component was manufactured, sampled, and tested in accordance with this specification and the results have been determined to meet the requirements of this specification.

If the secondary melting processes of 4.1 are employed, the heat analysis shall be obtained from one remelted ingot or the product of one remelted ingot of each primary melt. The chemical composition thus determined, or that determined from a product analysis made by the manufacturer, if the latter has not manufactured the steel, shall be reported to the purchaser or the purchaser’s representative, and shall conform to the requirements specified in Section 7. 3.1.8 Test report required (Section on Certification of Specification A 530/A 530M), 3.1.9 Specification designation, 3.1.10 End use of material, 3.1.11 Hydrostatic test in accordance with Specification A 530/A 530M or 13.3 of this specification, or NDE in accordance with Section 14 of this specification. 3.1.12 Special requirements. 4. Process 4.1 The steel shall be killed steel made by one or more of the following processes: open-hearth, basic-oxygen, or electric-furnace. The primary melting may incorporate separate degassing or refining, and may be followed by secondary melting, using electroslag remelting or vacuum-arc remelting. If secondary melting is employed, the heat shall be defined as all of the ingots remelted from a single primary heat. 9. Product Analysis 9.1 At the request of the purchaser, analyses of two pipes from each lot (Note 4) of 400 lengths or fraction thereof, of each size up to, but not including, NPS 6, and from each lot of 200 lengths or fraction thereof of each size NPS 6 and over, shall be made by the manufacturer from the finished pipe. The results of these analyses shall be reported to the purchaser or the purchaser’s representative and shall conform to the requirements specified in Section 7. 4.2 Steel may be cast in ingots or may be strand cast. When steels of different grades are sequentially strand cast, identification of the resultant transition material is required. The producer shall remove the transition material by any established procedure that positively separates the grades. 9.2 If the analysis of one of the tests specified in 9.1 does not conform to the requirements specified in Section 7, analyses shall be made on additional pipes of double the original number from the same lot, each of which shall conform to requirements specified. 4.3 Pipe NPS 11⁄2 and under may be either hot finished or cold drawn. 206 Copyright ASME International Provided by IHS under license with ASME No reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS Not for Resale PART A — FERROUS MATERIAL SPECIFICATIONS NOTE 4 — A lot shall consist of the number of lengths specified in Sections 9 and 20 of the same size and wall thickness from any one heat of steel. SA-106 o’clock locations, cracks at these locations shall not be cause for rejection if the D-to-t ratio is less than 10. NOTE 6 — The “H” values have been calculated for sizes from NPS 21⁄2 to 24, inclusive, and are shown in Table X1.1 of this specification. 10. Tensile Requirements 10.1 The material shall conform to the requirements as to tensile properties prescribed in Tables 2 and 3. 13. Hydrostatic Test 13.1 Each length of pipe shall withstand without leakage through the pipe wall, a hydrostatic test, except as provided for in 13.2, 13.3, and 13.4. 11. Bending Requirements 11.1 For pipe NPS 2 and under a sufficient length of pipe shall stand being bent cold through 90° around a cylindrical mandrel, the diameter of which is 12 times the nominal diameter (as shown in ANSI B36.10) of the pipe, without developing cracks. When ordered for close coiling (Note 2), the pipe shall stand being bent cold through 180° around a cylindrical mandrel, the diameter of which is eight times the outside diameter (as shown in ANSI B36.10) of the pipe, without failure. 13.2 When specified by the purchaser, pipe may be tested by the nondestructive electric test method in lieu of the hydrostatic test as shown in Section 14. 13.3 When specified in the order, pipe may be furnished without hydrostatic test and without the NDE in Section 14. In this case, each length so furnished shall include the mandatory marking of the letters “NH.” 13.4 When the hydrostatic test and the NDE test are omitted and the lengths marked with the letters “NH,” the certification, when required, shall clearly state “Not Hydrostatically Tested,” the specification number and material grade, as shown on the certification, shall be followed by the letters “NH.” 11.2 For pipe whose diameter equals or exceeds 10 in. (254 mm) a bend test may be conducted instead of the flattening test. The bend test specimens shall be bent at room temperature through 180° without cracking on the outside of the bent portion. The inside diameter of the bend shall be 1 in. (25.4 mm). Substitution of the bend test for the flattening test shall be subject to the approval of the purchaser. 14. Nondestructive Electric Test 14.1 As an alternative to the hydrostatic test, and when specified by the purchaser, each pipe shall be tested with a nondestructive electric test in accordance with Practice E 213, Practice E 309, or Practice E 570. In this case, each length so furnished shall include the mandatory marking of the letters “NDE.” It is the intent of this test to reject pipe with imperfections which produce test signals equal to or greater than that of the calibration standard. 11.3 For pipe whose diameter exceeds 25 in. (635 mm) and whose diameter to wall thickness ratio is 7.0 or less, the bend test described in 11.2 shall be conducted instead of the flattening test. NOTE 5 — Diameter to wall thickness ratio p specified outside diameter/nominal wall thickness. Example: For 28 in. diameter 5.000 in. thick pipe the diameter to wall thickness ratio p 28/5 p 5.6. 14.2 When the nondestructive electric test is performed, the lengths shall be marked with the letters “NDE.” The certification, when required, shall state “Nondestructive Electric Tested” and shall indicate which of the tests was applied. Also the letters “NDE” shall be appended to the product specification number and material grade shown on the certification. 12. Flattening Tests 12.1 For pipe over NPS 2 a section of pipe not less than 21⁄2 in. (63.5 mm) in length shall be flattened cold between parallel plates until the opposite walls of the pipe meet. Flattening tests shall be in accordance with Specification A 530/A 530M, except that in the formula used to calculate the “H” value, the following “e” constants shall be used: 14.3 The following information is for the benefit of the user of this specification: 0.08 for Grade A 0.07 for Grades B and C 14.3.1 The reference standards defined in 14.4 through 14.6 are convenient standards for calibration of nondestructive testing equipment.

It should be recognized that different techniques should be employed to detect differently oriented imperfections. The examination may not detect short, deep defects. 14.5.2 Transverse Tangential Notch — Using a round tool or file with a 1⁄4 in. (6.4 mm) diameter, a notch shall be filed or milled tangential to the surface and transverse to the longitudinal axis of the pipe. Said notch shall have a depth not exceeding 121⁄2% of the specified wall thickness of the pipe or 0.004 in. (0.102 mm), whichever is greater. 14.3.3 The eddy current examination referenced in this specification has the capability of detecting significant discontinuities, especially of the short abrupt type. 14.5.3 Longitudinal Notch — A notch 0.031 in. (0.787 mm) or less in width shall be machined in a radial place parallel to the tube axis on the outside surface of the pipe, to have a depth not exceeding 121⁄2% of the specified wall thickness of the tube or 0.004 in. (0.102 mm), whichever is greater. The length of the notch shall be compatible with the testing method. 14.3.4 The flux leakage examination referred to in this specification is capable of detecting the presence and location of significant longitudinally or transversely oriented discontinuities. It should be recognized that different techniques should be employed to detect differently oriented imperfections. 14.5.4 Compatibility — The discontinuity in the calibration pipe shall be compatible with the testing equipment and the method being used. 14.3.5 The hydrostatic test referred to in Section 13 has the capability of finding defects of a size permitting the test fluid to leak through the tube wall and may be either visually seen or detected by a loss of pressure. This test may not detect very tight, through-the-wall defects or defects that extend an appreciable distance into the wall without complete penetration. 14.6 For flux leakage testing, the longitudinal calibration reference notches shall be straight-sided notches machined in a radial plane parallel to the pipe axis. For wall thickness under 1⁄2 in. (12.7 mm), outside and inside notches shall be used; for wall thickness equal and above 1 ⁄2 in. (12.7 mm), only an outside notch shall be used. Notch depth shall not exceed 121⁄2% of the specified wall thickness, or 0.004 in. (0.102 mm), whichever is greater. Notch length shall not exceed 1 in. (25.4 mm), and the width shall not exceed the depth. Outside diameter and inside diameter notches shall be located sufficiently apart to allow separation and identification of the signals. 14.3.6 A purchaser interested in ascertaining the nature (type, size, location, and orientation) of discontinuities that can be detected in the specific application of these examinations should discuss this with the manufacturer of the tubular product. 14.4 For ultrasonic testing, the calibration reference notches shall be, at the option of the producer, any one of the three common notch shapes shown in Practice E 213. The depth of notch shall not exceed 121⁄2% of the specified wall thickness of the pipe or 0.004 in. (0.102 mm), whichever is greater. 14.7 Pipe producing a signal equal to or greater than the signal produced by the calibration standard shall be subject to rejection. The area producing the signal may be reexamined. 14.5 For eddy current testing, the calibration pipe shall contain, at the option of the producer, any one of the following discontinuities to establish a minimum sensitivity level for rejection: 14.7.1 Test signals produced by imperfections which cannot be identified, or produced by cracks or crack-like imperfections shall result in rejection of the pipe, unless it is repaired and retested. To be accepted, the pipe must pass the same specification test to which it was originally subjected, provided that the remaining wall thickness is not decreased below that permitted by this specification. The OD at the point of grinding may be reduced by the amount so reduced. 14.5.1 Drilled Hole — The calibration pipe shall contain depending upon the pipe diameter three holes spaced 120° apart or four holes spaced 90° apart and sufficiently separated longitudinally to ensure separately distinguishable responses. The holes shall be drilled radially and completely through the pipe wall, care being taken to avoid distortion of the pipe while drilling. Depending upon the pipe diameter the calibration pipe shall contain the following hole: ≤ 1⁄2 in. > 1⁄2 ≤ 11⁄4 in. > 11⁄4 ≤ 2 in. > 2 in. ≤ 5 in. > 5 in. 0.039 0.055 0.071 0.087 0.106 in. in. in. in. in. 14.7.2 Test signals produced by visual imperfections such as those listed below may be evaluated in accordance with the provisions of Section 18: 14.7.2.1 Dinges, (1 mm) (1.4 mm) (1.8 mm) (2.2 mm) (2.7 mm) 14.7.2.2 Straightener marks, 14.7.2.3 Cutting chips, 14.7.2.4 Scratches, 208 --`,,```,,,,````-`-`,,`,,`,`,,`--- Copyright ASME International Provided by IHS under license with ASME No reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS Not for Resale PART A — FERROUS MATERIAL SPECIFICATIONS 14.7.2.5 Steel die stamps, with respect to depth.

Pipe with such defects shall be given one of the following dispositions: 14.8 The test methods described in this section may not be capable of inspecting the end portion of pipes. This condition is referred to as “end effect.” The length of the end effect shall be determined by the manufacturer and, when specified in the purchase order, reported to the purchaser. 18.2.1 The defect may be removed by grinding provided that the remaining wall thickness is within specified limits. 15. Nipples 15.1 Nipples shall be cut from pipe of the same dimensions and quality described in this specification. 18.2.2 Repaired in accordance with the repair welding provisions of 18.6. 18.2.3 The section of pipe containing the defect may be cut off within the limits of requirements on length. 16. Dimensions, Weight, and Permissible Variations 16.1 Weight — The weight of any length of pipe shall not vary more than 10% over and 3.5% under that specified. Unless otherwise agreed upon between the manufacturer and the purchaser, pipe in NPS 4 and smaller may be weighed in convenient lots; pipe larger than NPS 4 shall be weighed separately. 18.2.4 Rejected. 18.3 To provide a workmanlike finish and basis for evaluating conformance with 18.2 the pipe manufacturer shall remove by grinding the following noninjurious imperfections: 18.3.1 Mechanical marks, abrasions (Note 8) and pits, any of which imperfections are deeper than 1⁄16 in. (1.58 mm). 16.2 Diameter — Variations in outside diameter shall not exceed those specified in Table 4. 18.3.2 Visual imperfections commonly referred to as scabs, seams, laps, tears, or slivers found by exploration in accordance with 18.1 to be deeper than 5% of the nominal wall thickness. 16.3 Thickness — The minimum wall thickness at any point shall not be more than 12.5% under the nominal wall thickness specified. 18.4 At the purchaser’s discretion, pipe shall be subjected to rejection if surface imperfections acceptable under 18.2 are not scattered, but appear over a large area in excess of what is considered a workmanlike finish. Disposition of such a pipe shall be a matter of agreement between the manufacturer and the purchaser.

The outside diameter at the point of grinding may be reduced by the amount so removed. 18.5.1 Wall thickness measurements shall be made with a mechanical caliper or with a properly calibrated nondestructive testing device of appropriate accuracy. In case of dispute, the measurement determined by use of the mechanical caliper shall govern. 18.6 Weld repair shall be permitted only subject to the approval of the purchaser and in accordance with Specification A 530/A 530M. 18. Workmanship, Finish and Appearance 18.1 The pipe manufacturer shall explore a sufficient number of visual surface imperfections to provide reasonable assurance that they have been properly evaluated 18.7 The finished pipe shall be reasonably straight. 209 --`,,```,,,,````-`-`,,`,,`,`,,`--- Copyright ASME International Provided by IHS under license with ASME No reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS SA-106 Not for Resale SA-106 2004 SECTION II NOTE 8 — Marks and abrasions are defined as cable marks, dinges, guide marks, roll marks, ball scratches, scores, die marks, etc. specimen as indicated by scribe scratches marked on the specimen before testing, a retest shall be allowed. If a specimen breaks in an inside or outside surface flaw, a retest shall be allowed. 19. End Finish 19.1 The pipe shall be furnished to the following practice, unless otherwise specified. 21.2 Should a crop end of a finished pipe fail in the flattening test, one retest may be made from the failed end. Pipe may be normalized either before or after the first test, but pipe shall be subjected to only two normalizing treatments. 19.1.1 NPS 11⁄2 and Smaller — All walls shall be either plain-end square cut, or plain-end beveled at the option of the manufacturer. 19.1.2 NPS 2 and Larger — Walls through extra strong weights, shall be plain end-beveled. 22. Test Specimens and Test Methods 22.1 On NPS 8 and larger, specimens cut either longitudinally or transversely shall be acceptable for the tension test. On sizes smaller than NPS 8, the longitudinal test only shall be used. 19.1.3 NPS 2 and Larger — Walls over extra strong weights, shall be plain-end square cut. NOTE 9 —Plain-end beveled is defined as plain-end pipe having a bevel angle of 30°, +5° or −0°, as measured from a line drawn perpendicular to the axis of the pipe with a root face of 1⁄16 in. ± 1⁄32 in. (1.5875 ± 0.7938 mm). Other bevel angles may be specified by agreement between the purchaser and the manufacturer. 22.2 Test specimens for the bend test specified in Section 11 and for the flattening tests shall consist of sections cut from a pipe. Specimens for flattening tests shall be smooth on the ends and free form burrs, except when made on crop ends. 20. Number of Tests 20.1 The tensile requirements specified in Section 7 shall be determined on one length of pipe from each lot (Note 4) of 400 lengths or fraction thereof of each size under NPS 6, and from each lot of 200 lengths or fraction thereof of each size NPS 6 and over. 22.3 Test specimens for the bend test specified in 11.2 and 11.3 shall be cut from one end of the pipe and, unless otherwise specified, shall be taken in a transverse direction. One test specimen shall be taken as close to the outer surface as possible and another from as close to the inner surface as possible. The specimens shall be either 1⁄2 by 1⁄2 in. (12.7 by 12.7 mm) in section or 1 by 1 ⁄2 in. (25.4 by 12.7 mm) in section with the corners rounded to a radius not over 1⁄16 in. (1.6 mm) and need not exceed 6 in. (152 mm) in length. The side of the samples placed in tension during the bend shall be the side closest to the inner and outer surface of the pipe respectively. 20.2 For pipe NPS 2 and under, the bend test specified in 11.1 shall be made on one pipe from each lot of 400 lengths or fraction thereof of each size. The bend test, where used as permitted by 11.2 or required by 11.3, shall be made on one end of 5% of the pipe from each lot. For small lots, at least one pipe shall be tested. 20.3 The flattening test specified in Section 12 shall be made on one length of pipe from each lot of 400 lengths or fraction thereof of each size over NPS 2, up to but not including NPS 6, and from each lot of 200 lengths or fraction thereof, of each size NPS 6 and over. 22.4 All routine check tests shall be made at room temperature. 23. Certification 23.1 When test reports are requested, in addition to the requirements of Specification A 530/A 530M, the producer or supplier shall furnish to the purchaser a chemical analysis report for the elements specified in Table 1. 20.4 Each length of pipe shall be subjected to the hydrostatic test specified in Section 13. 20.5 If any test specimen shows defective machining or develops flaws, it may be discarded and another specimen substituted. 24. Product Marking 24.1 In addition to the marking prescribed in Specification A 530/A 530M, the marking shall include heat number, the information as per Table 5, an additional symbol “S” if the pipe conforms in any case to the supplementary requirements specified in S1 to S5, the length 21.

The purchaser may specify a different frequency of test or analysis than is provided in the supplementary requirement. Subject to agreement between the purchaser and manufacturer, retest and retreatment provisions of these supplementary requirements may also be modified. S1. Product Analysis S1.1 Product analysis shall be made on each length of pipe. Individual lengths failing to conform to the chemical composition requirements shall be rejected. material free form injurious laminations, cracks, and similar objectionable defects. If this supplementary requirement is specified, the number of tests per pipe required shall also be specified. If a specimen from any length shows objectionable defects, the length shall be rejected, subject to removal of the defective end and subsequent retests indicating the remainder of the length to be sound and reasonably uniform material. S2. Transverse Tension Test S2.1 A transverse tension test shall be made on a specimen from one end or both ends of each pipe NPS 8 and over. If this supplementary requirement is specified, the number of tests per pipe shall also be specified. If a specimen from any length fails to meet the required tensile properties (tensile, yield, and elongation), that length shall be rejected subject to retreatment in accordance with Specification A 530/A 530M and satisfactory retest. S5. Carbon Equivalent S5.1 The steel shall conform to a carbon equivalent (CE) of 0.50 maximum as determined by the following formula: CE p %C + %Mn %Cr + %Mo + %V %Ni + %Cu + + 6 5 15 S5.2 A lower CE maximum may be agreed upon between the purchaser and the producer. S3. Flattening Test S3.1 The flattening test of Specification A 530/A 530M shall be made on a specimen from one end or both ends of each pipe. Crop ends may be used. If this supplementary requirement is specified, the number of tests per pipe shall also be specified. If a specimen from any length fails because of lack of ductility prior to satisfactory completion of the first step of the flattening test requirement, that pipe shall be rejected subject to retreatment in accordance with Specification A 530/A 530M and satisfactory retest. If a specimen from any length of pipe fails because of a lack of soundness, that length shall be rejected, unless subsequent retesting indicates that the remaining length is sound. S5.3 The CE shall be reported on the test report. S6. Heat Treated Test Specimens S6.1 At the request of the purchaser, one tensile test shall be performed by the manufacturer on a test specimen from each heat of steel furnished which has been either stress relieved at 1250°F or normalized at 1650°F, as specified by the purchaser. Other stress relief or annealing temperatures, as appropriate to the analysis, may be specified by agreement between the purchaser and the manufacturer. The results of this test shall meet the requirements of Table 2. S7. Internal Cleanliness — Government Orders S7.1 The internal surface of hot finished ferritic steel pipe and tube shall be manufactured to a free of scale condition equivalent to the visual standard listed in SSPCSP6. Cleaning shall be performed in accordance with a written procedure that has been shown to be effective. This procedure shall be available for audit. S4. Metal Structure and Etching Test S4.1 The steel shall be homogeneous as shown by etching tests conducted in accordance with the appropriate sections of Method E 381. Etching tests shall be made on a cross section from one end or both ends of each pipe and shall show sound and reasonable uniform 216 --`,,```,,,,````-`-`,,`,,`,`,,`--- Copyright ASME International Provided by IHS under license with ASME No reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS Not for Resale PART A — FERROUS MATERIAL SPECIFICATIONS SA-106 APPENDIX (Nonmandatory Information) X1.

Furnishing of such products is limited to manufacturers who hold the appropriate ASME Code Symbol Stamp. Weld procedures, welder, and welding machine operators shall be qualified in accordance with ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section IX. The product shall meet all applicable requirements of Class III Piping including those requirements pertaining to heat treatment and butt welds. The plate used to fabricate the pipe shall conform to SA-283 or SA-285. Authorized inspection at the point of manufacture, and application of the appropriate Code Symbol Stamp is required. The applicable ASME Partial Data Report Form, signed by an Authorized Inspector, and a certified mill test report shall be furnished for each lot of pipe. The term “lot” applies to all pipe of the same mill heat of material and wall thickness which is heat treated in one furnace charge. For pipe which is not heat treated, or which is heat treated in a continuous furnace, a lot shall consist of each 200 ft (61 m) or fraction thereof of all pipe of the same mill heat of material and wall thickness, subjected to the same heat treatment. For pipe which is heat treated in a batch-type furnace which is automatically controlled within a 50°F range and equipped with recording pyrometers so that the heating records are available, a lot may be defined the same as for continuous furnaces. Each length of pipe shall be marked in such a manner as to identify each such piece with the lot and the certified mill test report. 1. Scope 1.1 This specification covers electric-fusion (arc)welded straight seam or spiral seam steel pipe NPS 16 and over in diameter (inside or outside as specified by purchaser), with wall thicknesses up to 3⁄4 in. (19.0 mm), inclusive. Pipe having other dimensions may be furnished provided such pipe complies with all other requirements of this specification. 1.3 The following precautionary caveat pertains specifically to Section 5 of this specification. This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. 2.

(203 mm) from the end of the pipe and shall permit the passing for a distance of 8 in. (203 mm) of a ring gage which has a bore 3⁄32 in. (2.4 mm) larger than the nominal outside diameter of the pipe. 14. Weld Repair 14.1 Welding Repair: 14.2 Defects in the pipe wall, provided their depth does not exceed one third the specified wall thickness, shall be repaired by electric welding. Defects in the welds such as sweats or leaks, unless otherwise specified, shall be repaired or the piece rejected at the option of the manufacturer. Repairs of this nature shall be made by completely removing the defect, cleaning the cavity, and then electric welding. 13.2.3 Ends, Threaded Pipe — Each end of threaded pipe shall be reamed to remove all burrs. All threads shall be in accordance with the American National Standard Pipe Threads (Note 6) and cut so as to make a tight joint when the pipe is tested at the mill to the specified internal hydrostatic pressure. The variation from the standard, when tested with the standard working gage, shall not exceed one and one-half turns either way. Pipe shall not be rounded by hammering in order to get a full thread. There shall be not more than two black threads for 3⁄4in. (19.0-mm) taper among the perfect threads. Black threads should not be confused with imperfect threads, such as those torn, shaven, or broken. 14.3 All repaired pipe shall be retested hydrostatically in accordance with Section 10. 15. Sampling 15.1 Chemical Analysis: 15.1.1 Samples for chemical analysis, except for spectrochemical analysis, shall be taken in accordance with Practice E 59. The number of samples shall be determined as follows: NOTE 6 — A complete description of the American National Standard Pipe Threads applicable to pipe, valves, and fittings is contained in the American National Standard for Pipe Threads (ANSI B1.20.1); also “Screw-Thread Standards for Federal Services, 1942,” National Bureau of Standards Handbook H 28, January, 1942, the pertinent data in both sources being identical. 13.3 Couplings — Each length of threaded pipe shall be provided with one coupling manufactured in accordance with Specification A 865 except that the coupling may be wrought iron (Note 7). Threads shall be cut so as to make a tight joint. Taper-tapped couplings shall be furnished on all weights of threaded pipe NPS 21⁄2 and larger. NPS Numbers of Samples Selected Under 6 6 to 20, incl Over 20 to 30, incl 2 from each lot of 400 pipes or fraction thereof 2 from each lot of 200 pipes or fraction thereof 2 from each lot of 100 pipes or fraction thereof 15.2 Tension Test: 15.2.1 One longitudinal tension test shall be made on length (Note 8) from each lot of 400 lengths or fraction thereof of each size under NPS 8 and one transverse body and one transverse weld tension test on one length from each lot of 200 lengths or fraction thereof of each size NPS 8 to NPS 20 and on one length from each lot of 100 lengths or fraction thereof of each size over NPS 20 to NPS 30. When taken from the skelp, the number of tests shall be determined in the same manner as when taken from the finished pipe. NOTE 7 — For sizes NPS 2 and smaller, it is commercial practice to furnish straight-tapped couplings for standard-weight (Schedule 40) pipe and taper-tapped couplings for extra-strong (Schedule 80) and double-extra-strong pipe. If taper-tapped couplings are required for sizes NPS 2 and smaller on standard weight (Schedule 40) pipe, line pipe in accordance with Specification 5L of the American Petroleum Institute should be ordered, thread lengths to be in accordance with the American National Standard for Pipe Threads (ANSI B1.20.1). Tapertapped couplings for sizes NPS 2 and smaller in standard weight may be used on mill-threaded standard weight type of the same size. NOTE 8 — Length is defined as the length as ordered, except that in the case of orders for cut lengths shorter than double random, which is defined as the length as rolled, prior to cutting to the required short lengths. 15.3 Flattening Test: 15.3.1 The flattening test specified in 9.1 shall be made on both crop ends cut from each length of pipe. When pipe is produced in multiple lengths, flattening tests are required on the crop ends from the front and back ends of each coil and on two intermediate rings representing each coil. 13.4 Protective Coating: 13.4.1 After the pipe has been subjected to the hydrostatic test, and if required by the purchaser, it shall be thoroughly cleaned of all dirt, oil, grease, loose scale, and rust; then dried, and given a protective coating of the kind and in the manner specified by the purchaser. Pipe furnished to Schedule 10 shall be normally shipped with a light coating of processing oil. If so specified, the pipe can be given a mill coating or a special coating. 15.4 Hydrostatic Test: 15.4.1 Each length of pipe shall be subjected to the hydrostatic test specified in Section 10. 231 Copyright ASME International Provided by IHS under license with ASME No reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS SA-135 Not for Resale SA-135 2004 SECTION II 80% of its length after the initial cropping; otherwise, the length shall be rejected. For pipe produced in multiple lengths, retests may be cut from each end of each individual length in the multiple; such tests shall be made with the weld alternately 0° and 90° from the line of direction of force. 16. Test, Retest, and Resampling 16.1 Chemical Analysis: 16.1.1 If the results of the analysis of either length of pipe do not conform to the requirements specified in Section 7, analyses of two additional lengths from the same lot shall be made, each of which shall conform to the requirements specified. 16.4 All specimens shall be tested at room temperature. 16.2 Tension Test: 16.2.1 The test specimens and the tests required by this specification shall conform to those described in Test Methods and Definitions A 370, except that all specimens shall be tested at room temperature. 17. Inspection 17.1 The inspector representing the purchaser shall have free entry, at all times while work on the contract of the purchaser is being performed, to all parts of the manufacturer’s works that concern the manufacture of the material ordered. The manufacturer shall afford the inspector, without charge, all reasonable facilities to satisfy him that the material is being furnished in accordance with this specification. All tests (except check analysis) and inspection shall be made at the place of manufacture prior to shipment, unless otherwise specified, and shall be so conducted as not to interfere unnecessarily with the manufacturer’s operation. 16.2.2 The longitudinal tension test specimen shall be taken from the end of the pipe, or by agreement between the manufacturer and the purchaser may be taken from the skelp, at a point approximately 90° from the weld, and shall not be flattened between gage marks. The sides of each specimen shall be parallel between gage marks. At the manufacturer option, the tension test may be made on full section of pipe. 16.2.3 Transverse weld test specimens shall be taken with the weld at the center of the specimen. Transverse body test specimens shall be taken opposite to the weld. All transverse test specimens shall be approximately 11⁄2 in. (38.1 mm) wide in the gage length and shall represent the full wall thickness of the pipe from which the specimen was cut. 18. Rejection 18.1 Each length of pipe received from the manufacturer may be inspected by the purchaser and, if it does not meet the requirements of this specification based on the inspection and test method as outlined in the specification, the length may be rejected and the manufacturer shall be notified. Disposition of rejected pipe shall be a matter of agreement between the manufacturer and the purchaser. 16.2.4 If any test specimen shows defective machining or develops flaws not associated with the quality of the steel or the welding, it may be discarded and another specimen substituted. 16.2.5 If the results of the tension tests of any lot do not conform to the requirements specified in 9.1, retests of two additional lengths from the same lot shall be made, each of which shall conform to the requirements specified. 18.2 Pipe found in fabrication or in installation to be unsuitable for the intended use, under the scope and requirements of this specification, may be set aside and the manufacturer notified. Such pipe shall be subject to mutual investigation as to the nature and severity of the deficiency and the forming or installation, or both, conditions involved. Disposition shall be a matter for agreement. 16.2.6 If the percentage of elongation of any tension test specimen is less than that specified in 8.1, and any part of the fracture is more than 3⁄4 in. (19.0 mm) from the center of the gage length as indicated by scribe scratches marked on the specimen before testing, the specimen may be discarded and another substituted. 16.3 Flattening Test: 16.3.1 Specimens for flattening tests shall be smooth at the ends and free from burrs. 19. Certificate of Compliance 19.1 When specified in the purchase order, the producer or supplier shall furnish to the purchaser a certificate of compliance stating that the pipe has been manufactured, sampled, tested and inspected in accordance with this specification (including the year of issue) and has been found to meet the requirements. 16.3.2 If any section of the pipe fails to comply with the requirements of 9.1, for pipe produced in single lengths, other sections may be cut from the same end of the same length until satisfactory tests are obtained, except that the finished pipe shall not be shorter than 232 Copyright ASME International Provided by IHS under license with ASME No reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS Not for Resale PART A — FERROUS MATERIAL SPECIFICATIONS 20. Identification of Material 20.1 Each length of pipe shall be legibly marked with appropriate symbols by stenciling, stamping, or rolling to show the manufacturer’s name, the size, the specification designation, the grade, and the hydrostatic test pressure when tested, or the letters “NH” when not tested. 20.2 In addition to the requirements in 20.1, bar coding is acceptable as a supplemental identification method. The purchaser may specify in the order a specific bar coding system to be used.

Ordering Information 3.1 It is the purchaser’s responsibility to specify in the purchase order all ordering information necessary to purchase the needed material. Examples of such information include but are not limited to the following: 3.1.1 5. Heat Treatment 5.1 After hot working, forgings shall be cooled to a temperature below 1000°F [538°C] prior to heat treating in accordance with the requirements of Table 1. Quantity, 3.1.2 Size and pressure class or dimensions (tolerances and surface finishes should be included), 5.2 Low Alloy Steels and Ferritic and Martensitic Stainless Steels — The low alloy steels and ferritic and martensitic stainless steels shall be heat treated in accordance with the requirements of 5.1 and Table 1. 3.1.3 Specification number, grade, and class if applicable (the year date should be included), 3.1.4 Supplementary requirements, 5.2.1 Grade F 22V shall be furnished in the normalized and tempered, or liquid quenched and tempered condition. The minimum austenitizing temperature shall be 1650°F [900°C], and the minimum tempering temperature shall be 1250°F [677°C]. 3.1.5 Additional requirements (see 5.2.2, Table 2 footnotes, 7.3, 15.1, and 18.2), and 3.1.6 Requirement, if any, that manufacturer shall submit drawings for approval showing the shape of the 254 Copyright ASME International Provided by IHS under license with ASME No reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS Not for Resale PART A — FERROUS MATERIAL SPECIFICATIONS 5.2.2 Liquid Quenching — When agreed to by the purchaser, liquid quenching followed by tempering shall be permitted provided the temperatures in Table 1 for each grade are utilized. 6.3 Starting material produced to a specification that specifically requires the addition of any element beyond those listed in Table 2 for the applicable grade of material, is not permitted. 5.2.2.1 Marking — Parts that are liquid quenched and tempered shall be marked “QT.” 7. Mechanical Properties 7.1 The material shall conform to the requirements as to mechanical properties for the grade ordered as listed in Table 3. 5.2.3 Alternatively, Grades F 1, F 2, and F 12, Classes 1 and 2 may be given a heat treatment of 1200°F [650°C] minimum after final hot or cold forming. 5.3 Austenitic and Ferritic-Austenitic Stainless Steels — The austenitic and ferritic-austenitic stainless steels shall be heat treated in accordance with the requirements of 5.1 and Table 1. 7.2 Mechanical test specimens shall be obtained from production forgings, or from separately forged test blanks prepared from the stock used to make the finished product. In either case, mechanical test specimens shall not be removed until after all heat treatment is complete. If repair welding is required, test specimens shall not be removed until after post-weld heat treatment is complete, except for ferritic grades when the post-weld heat treatment is conducted at least 50°F [30°C] below the actual tempering temperature. When test blanks are used, they shall receive approximately the same working as the finished product. The test blanks shall be heat treated with the finished product and shall approximate the maximum cross-section of the forgings they represent. 5.3.1 Alternatively, immediately following hot working, while the temperature of the forging is not less than the minimum solutioning temperature specified in Table 1, forgings made from austenitic grades (except grades S33228, S30815, F 304H, F 316H, F 321, F 321H, F 347, F 347H, F 348, and F 348H) may be individually rapidly quenched in accordance with the requirements of Table 1. 5.3.2 See Supplementary Requirement S14 if a particular heat treatment method is to be employed. 5.4 Time of Heat Treatment — Heat treatment of forgings may be performed before machining. 7.3 For normalized and tempered, or quenched and tempered forgings, the central axis of the test specimen shall correspond to the 1⁄4 T plane or deeper position where T is the maximum heat-treated thickness of the represented forging. In addition, for quenched and tempered forgings, the midlength of the test specimen shall be at least T from any second heat-treated surface. When the section thickness does not permit this positioning, the test specimen shall be positioned as near as possible to the prescribed location, as agreed to by the purchaser and the supplier. 5.5 Forged or Rolled Bar — Forged or rolled austenitic stainless bar from which small cylindrically shaped parts are to be machined, as permitted by 4.4, and the parts machined from such bar, without heat treatment after machining, shall be furnished to the annealing requirements of Specification A 479 or this specification, with subsequent light cold drawing and straightening permitted (see Supplementary Requirement S9 if annealing must be the final operation). 7.3.1 With prior purchase approval, the test specimen for ferritic steel forgings may be taken at a depth (t) corresponding to the distance from the area of significant stress to the nearest heat-treated surface and at least twice this distance (2t) from any second surface. However, the test depth shall not be nearer to one treated surface than 3 ⁄4 in. [19 mm] and to the second treated surface than 11⁄2 in. [38 mm]. This method of test specimen location would normally apply to contour-forged parts, or parts with thick cross-sectional areas where 1⁄4 T ⴛ T testing (7.3) is not practical. Sketches showing the exact test locations shall be approved by the purchaser when this method is used. NOTE 1 — A solution annealing temperature above 1950°F [1065°C] may impair the resistance to intergranular corrosion after subsequent exposure to sensitizing conditions in F 321, F 321H, F 347, F 347H, F 348, F 348H. When specified by the purchaser, a lower temperature stabilization or resolution annealing shall be used subsequent to the initial high temperature solution anneal (see Supplementary Requirement S16). 6. Chemical Composition 6.1 The steel shall conform to the requirements as to chemical composition for the grade ordered as listed in Table 2. Test Methods, Practices, and Terminology A 751 shall apply. 7.4 For annealed low alloy steel, ferritic stainless steels, and martensitic stainless steels, and also for austenitic and ferritic-austenitic stainless steels, the test specimen may be taken from any convenient location. 6.2 Grades to which lead, selenium, or other elements are added for the purpose of rendering the material freemachining shall not be used. 255 Copyright ASME International Provided by IHS under license with ASME No reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS SA-182/SA-182M Not for Resale --`,,```,,,,````-`-`,,`,,`,`,,`--- SA-182/SA-182M 2004 SECTION II 7.5 Tension Tests: 7.5.1 Low Alloy Steels and Ferritic and Martensitic Stainless Steels — One tension test shall be made for each heat in each heat treatment charge. NOTE 3 — The tension test required in 7.5.1 is used to determine material capability and conformance in addition to verifying the adequacy of the heat-treatment cycle. Additional hardness tests in accordance with 7.6.2 are required when 7.5.1.1 is applied to enssure the prescribed heat-treating cycle and uniformity throughout the load. 7.5.1.1 When the heat-treating cycles are the same and the furnaces (either batch or continuous type) are controlled within ±25°F [±14°C] and equipped with recording pyrometers so that complete records of heat treatment are available, then only one tension test from each heat of each forging type (Note 1) and section size is required instead of one test from each heat in each heat-treatment charge. 7.7 Notch Toughness Requirements — Grades F 3V, F 3VCb, and F 22V. 7.7.1 Impact test specimens shall be Charpy Vnotch type, as shown in Fig. 11a of Test Methods and Definitions A 370. The usage of subsize specimens due to material limitations must have prior purchaser approval. 7.7.2 The Charpy V-notch test specimens shall be obtained as required for tension tests in 7.2, 7.3, and 7.5. One set of three Charpy V-notch specimens shall be taken from each tensile specimen location. NOTE 2 — “Type” in this case is used to describe the forging shape such as a flange, ell, tee, etc. 7.5.2 Austenitic and Ferritic-Austenitic Stainless Steel Grades — One tension test shall be made for each heat. 7.7.3 The longitudinal axis and mid-length of impact specimen shall be located similarly to the longitudinal axis of the tension test specimens. The axis of the notch shall be normal to the nearest heat-treated surface of the forging. 7.5.2.1 When heat treated in accordance with 5.1, the test blank or forging used to provide the test specimen shall be heat treated with a finished forged product. 7.7.4 The Charpy V-notch tests shall meet a minimum energy absorption value of 40 ft-lbf [54 J] average of three specimens. One specimen only in one set may be below 40 ft-lbf [54 J], and it shall meet a minimum value of 35 ft-lbf [48 J]. 7.5.2.2 When the alternative method in 5.3.1 is used, the test blank or forging used to provide the test specimen shall be forged and quenched under the same processing conditions as the forgings they represent. 7.7.5 The impact test temperature shall be 0°F [−18°C]. 7.5.3 Testing shall be performed in accordance with Test Methods and Definitions A 370 using the largest feasible of the round specimens. The gage length for measuring elongation shall be four times the diameter of the test section. 8. Grain Size for Austenitic Grades 8.1 All H grades shall be tested for average grain size by Test Methods E 112. 7.6 Hardness Tests: 7.6.1 Except when only one forging is produced, a minimum of two pieces per batch or continuous run as defined in 7.6.2 shall be hardness tested in accordance with Test Methods and Definitions A 370 to ensure that the forgings are within the hardness limits given for each grade in Table 3. The purchaser may verify that the requirement has been met by testing at any location on the forging provided such testing does not render the forging useless. 8.1.1 Grades F 304H, F 309H, F 310H, and F 316H shall have a grain size of ASTM No. 6 or coarser. 8.1.2 Grades F 321H, F 347H, and F 348H shall have a grain size of ASTM No. 7 or coarser. 9. Corrosion Testing for Austenitic Grades 9.1 Corrosion testing is not required by this specification. 7.6.2 When the reduced number of tension tests permitted by 7.5.1.1 is applied, additional hardness tests shall be made on forgings or samples as defined in 7.2 scattered throughout the load (Note 2). At least eight samples shall be checked from each batch load and at least one check per hour shall be made from a continuous run. When the furnace batch is less than eight forgings, each forging shall be checked. If any check falls outside the prescribed limits, the entire lot of forgings shall be reheat treated and the requirements of 7.5.1 shall apply. 9.2 Austenitic grades shall be capable of meeting the intergranular corrosion test requirements described in Supplementary Requirement S10. 10. Cast or Heat (Formerly Ladle) Analysis 10.1 Each heat or furnace ladle of steel shall be analyzed by the manufacturer to determine the percentage of elements prescribed in Table 2. This analysis shall be 256 Copyright ASME International Provided by IHS under license with ASME No reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS Not for Resale PART A — FERROUS MATERIAL SPECIFICATIONS made from a test specimen preferably taken during the pouring of the steel. For multiple-heat ingots, either individual heat analyses or a weighted average analysis may be reported. The steel shall conform to the chemical composition requirements prescribed in Table 2. SA-182/SA-182M 13.3 Depth of Injurious Imperfections — Linear imperfections shall be explored for depth. When the depth encroaches on the minimum wall thickness of the finished forging, such imperfections shall be considered injurious. 13.4 Machining or Grinding Imperfections Not Classified as Injurious — Surface imperfections not classified as injurious shall be treated as follows: 10.1.1 If the test sample is lost or declared inadequate for chemical determinations, the manufacturer may take alternative samples from appropriate locations near the surface of the ingot or forging as necessary to establish the analysis of the heat in question. 13.4.1 Seams, laps, tears, or slivers not deeper than 5% of the nominal wall thickness or 1⁄16 in. [1.6 mm], whichever is less, need not be removed. If these imperfections are removed, they shall be removed by machining or grinding. 10.1.2 If consumable remelting processes are employed, a chemical analysis made on one remelted ingot (or the product of one remelted ingot) per heat shall be taken as the heat analysis, and shall conform to the chemical composition requirements prescribed in Table 2. For this purpose, a heat is defined as all of the ingots remelted from a single primary melt. 13.4.2 Mechanical marks or abrasions and pits shall be acceptable without grinding or machining provided the depth does not exceed the limitations set forth in 13.4.1. Imperfections that are deeper than 1⁄16 in. [1.6 mm], but which do not encroach on the minimum wall thickness of the forging shall be removed by grinding to sound metal. 11. Product Analysis 11.1 The purchaser may make a product analysis on forgings supplied to this specification. Samples for analysis shall be taken from midway between the center and surface of solid forgings, midway between the inner and outer surfaces of hollow forgings, midway between the center and surface of full-size prolongations, or from broken mechanical test specimens. The chemical composition thus determined shall conform to Table 2 with the tolerances as stated in Table 4 or Table 5. 13.4.3 When imperfections have been removed by grinding or machining, the outside dimension at the point of grinding or machining may be reduced by the amount removed. Should it be impracticable to secure a direct measurement, the wall thickness at the point of grinding, or at an imperfection not required to be removed, shall be determined by deducting the amount removed by grinding from the nominal finished wall thickness of the forging, and the remainder shall be not less than the minimum specified or required wall thickness. 12. Retreatment 12.1 If the results of the mechanical tests do not conform to the requirements specified, the manufacturer may reheat treat the forgings and repeat the tests specified in Section 7. 14. Repair by Welding 14.1 Weld repairs shall be permitted (see Supplementary Requirement S7) at the discretion of the manufacturer with the following limitations and requirements: 14.1.1 The welding procedure and welders shall be qualified in accordance with Section IX of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code. 13. Workmanship, Finish, and Appearance 13.1 The forgings shall be free of scale, machining burrs which might hinder fit-up, and other injurious imperfections as defined herein. The forgings shall have a workmanlike finish and machined surfaces (other than surfaces having special requirements) shall have a surface finish not to exceed 250 AA (arithmetic average) roughness height. 14.1.2 The weld metal shall be deposited using the electrodes specified in Table 6 except as otherwise provided in Supplementary Requirement S11. The electrodes shall be purchased in accordance with ASME Specification SFA-5.4, SFA-5.5, SFA-5.9, or SFA-5.11. The submerged arc process with neutral flux, the gas metalarc process, the gas tungsten-arc process, and gas shielded processes using flux-core consumables, may be used. 13.2 At the discretion of the inspector representing the purchaser, finished forgings shall be subject to rejection if surface imperfections acceptable under 13.4 are not scattered but appear over a large area in excess of what is considered to be a workmanlike finish. 14.1.3 Defects shall be completely removed prior to welding by chipping or grinding to sound metal as verified by magnetic particle inspection in accordance with Test Method A 275 /A 275M for the low alloy steels and ferritic, martensitic, or ferritic-austenitic stainless 257 Copyright ASME International Provided by IHS under license with ASME No reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS Not for Resale --`,,```,,,,````-`-`,,`,,`,`,,`--- SA-182/SA-182M 2004 SECTION II steels, or by liquid penetrant inspection in accordance with Practice E 165 for all grades. been met. The specification designation included on test reports shall include year of issue and revision letter, if any. The manufacturer shall provide the following where applicable: 14.1.4 After repair welding, the welded area shall be ground smooth to the original contour and shall be completely free of defects as verified by magnetic-particle or liquid-penetrant inspection, as applicable. 17.2.1 Type heat treatment, Section 5; 17.2.2 Product analysis results, Section 11 (Tables 2, 4, and 5); 14.1.5 The preheat, interpass temperature and postweld heat treatment requirements given in Table 6 shall be met. Austenitic stainless steel forgings may be repairwelded without the post-weld heat treatment of Table 6, provided purchaser approval is obtained prior to repair. 17.2.3 Tensile property results, Section 7 (Table 3), report the yield strength and ultimate strength, in ksi [MPa], elongation and reduction in area, in percent; 17.2.4 Chemical analysis results, Section 6 (Table 2); 14.1.6 Repair by welding shall not exceed 10% of the surface area of the forging nor 331⁄3% of the wall thickness of the finished forging or 3⁄8 in. [9.5 mm], whichever is less, without prior approval of the purchaser. 17.2.5 Hardness results, Section 7 (Table 3); 17.2.6 Grain size results, Section 8, and 14.1.7 When approval of the purchaser is obtained, the limitations set forth in 14.1.6 may be exceeded, but all other requirements of Section 14 shall apply. 17.2.7 Any supplementary testing required by the purchase order. 14.1.8 No weld repairs are permitted for F 6a Classes 3 and 4. 18. Product Marking 18.1 Identification marks consisting of the manufacturer’s symbol or name (Note 3), the heat number or manufacturer’s heat identification, designation of service rating, the specification number, the designation, F 1, F 2, etc., showing the grade of material, and the size shall be legibly stamped on each forging or the forgings may be marked in accordance with Standard SP 25 of the Manufacturer’s Standardization Society of the Valve and Fittings Industry, and in such position so as not to injure the usefulness of the forging. The specification number marked on the forgings need not include specification year of issue and revision letter. 15. Inspection 15.1 The manufacturer shall afford the purchaser’s inspector all reasonable facilities necessary to satisfy him that the material is being furnished in accordance with the purchase order. Inspection by the purchaser shall not interfere unnecessarily with the manufacturer’s operations. All tests and inspections shall be made at the place of manufacture unless otherwise agreed upon. 16.

SA-193/SA-193M 2004 SECTION I1 G OF AUSTENITHC STEELS X1.1 Strain hardening is the increase in strength and hardness that results from plastic deformation below the recrystallization temperature (cold work). This effect is produced in austenitic stainless steel by reducing oversized bars or wire to the desired final size by cold drawing or other process. The degree of stsain hardening achievable in any alloy is limited by its strain hardening characteristics. In addition, the amount of strain hardening that can be produced is further limited by the variables of the process, such as the total amount of cross-section reduction, die angle and bar size. In large diameter bars, for example, plastic deformation will occm principally in the outer regions of the bar, so that the increased strength and hardness due to strain hardening is achieved predominantly near the surface of the bas. That is, the smaller the bas, the greater the penetration of stsain hardening. X1.2 Thus, the mechanical properties of a given strain hardened fastener are dependent not just on the alloy, but also on the size of bar from which ii is machiiled. The minimum bar size that can be used, however, is established by the configuration of the fastener, so that the configuration can affect the strength of the fastener. X1.3 For example, a stud of a particular alloy and size may be machined from a smaller diameter bas than a bolt of the same alloy and size because a larger diameter bar is required to accommodate the head of the bolt. The stud, therefore, is likely to be stronger than the same size bolt in a given alloy. X2.

Immediately after rolling or forging, the bolting material shall be allowed to cool to a temperature below the cooling transformation range. The materials which are to be furnished in the liquid-quenched condition shall then be uniformly reheated to the proper temperature to refine the grain (a group thus reheated being known as a “quenching charge”) and quenched in a liquid medium under substantially uniform conditions for each quenching charge. Use of water quenching is prohibited for any ferritic grade when heat treatment is part of the fastener manufacturing process. This prohibition does not apply to heat treated bar or to fasteners machined therefrom. Material Grade B16 shall be heated to a temperature range of 1700°F to 1750°F [925°C to 954°C] and oil quenched. The materials that are to be furnished in the normalized or air-quenched condition shall be reheated to the proper temperature to refine the grain and cooled uniformly in air to a temperature below the transformation temperature range. The material, whether liquidquenched or normalized, shall then be uniformly reheated for tempering. The minimum tempering temperature shall be as specified in Table 2 and Table 3. 6.1.1 Quenched and tempered or normalized and tempered ferritic material that is subsequently cold drawn for dimensional control shall be stress-relieved after cold drawing.

Class 1D shall be restricted to applications at temperatures less than 850°F [455°C]. 6.3.3 Class 1A and Class 1C Grades B8RA and B8SA — Finished fasteners shall be carbide solution treated after all rolling, forging, heading, and threading operations are complete. This designation does not apply to starting material such as bar. Fasteners shall be heated from ambient temperature and held a sufficient time at a temperature at which the chromium carbide will go into solution and then shall be cooled at a rate sufficient to prevent the precipitation of the carbide. 6.3.4 Classes 2, 2B, and 2C — Material shall be carbide solution treated by heating from ambient temperature and holding a sufficient time at a temperature at which the chromium carbide will go into solution and then cooling at a rate sufficient to prevent the precipitation of the carbide. Following this treatment the material shall then be strain hardened to achieve the required properties. NOTE 4 — Heat treatment following operations performed on a limited portion of the product, such as heading, may result in non-uniform grain size and mechanical properties through the section affected. 6.4 If scale-free bright finish is required, this shall be specified in the purchase order. 6.2 Both B6 and B6X materials shall be held, at the tempering temperature for a minimum time of 1 h. Identification Symbol B6X material may be furnished in the as-rolled-and-tempered condition. Cold working is permitted with the hardness limitation (26 HRC maximum) of Table 2 for the B6X grade. 6.5 B7 and B7M bolting shall be heat treated by quenching in a liquid medium and tempering. For B7M bolting, the final heat treatment, which may be the tempering operation if conducted at 1150°F [620°C] minimum, shall be done after all machining and forming operations, including thread rolling, are complete. 6.3 All austenitic stainless steels shall receive a carbide solution treatment (see 6.3.1, 6.3.4 for specific requirements for each class). Classes 1, 1B, 1C (Grades B8R and B8S only), 2, 2B, and 2C can apply to bar, wire, and finished fasteners. Class 1A (all grades) and Class 1C (Grades B8RA and B8SA only) can apply to finished fasteners. Class 1D applies only to bar and wire and finished fasteners that are machined directly from Class 1D bar or wire without any subsequent hot or cold working. 6.3.1 Classes 1 and 1B, and Class 1C Grades B8R and B8S — After rolling of the bar, forging, or heading, whether done hot or cold, the material shall be heated from ambient temperature and held a sufficient time at a temperature at which the chromium carbide will go into solution and then shall be cooled at a rate sufficient to prevent the precipitation of the carbide. 6.5.1 Unless otherwise specified, material for Grade B7 may be heat treated by the Furnace, the Induction or the Electrical Resistance method. NOTE 5 — It should be taken into consideration that stress-relaxation properties may vary from heat lot to heat lot or these properties may vary from one heat treating method to another. The purchaser may specify Requirement S8, if stress-relaxation testing is desired. 7. Chemical Composition 7.1 Each alloy shall conform to the chemical composition requirements prescribed in Table 1. Steels with added lead shall not be used. 7.2 The steel shall not contain an unspecified element for the ordered grade to the extent that the steel conforms 281 Copyright ASME International Provided by IHS under license with ASME No reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS SA-193 /SA-193M Not for Resale SA-193 /SA-193M 2004 SECTION II to the requirements of another grade for which that element is a specified element.

Heat Analysis 8.1 An analysis of each heat of steel shall be made by the manufacturer to determine the percentages of the elements specified in Section 7. This analysis shall be made from a test specimen taken during the pouring of the heat. The chemical composition thus determined shall be reported to the purchaser or the purchaser’s representative, and shall conform to the requirements specified in Section 7. For strand cast materials, the requirements of 8.2 and 8.3 of Specification A 788 shall be met. Should the purchaser deem it necessary to have the transition zone of two heats sequentially cast discarded, the purchaser shall invoke Supplementary Requirement S3 of Specification A 788. where: D p nominal thread size, and n p the number of threads per inch 10.2 Hardness Requirements: 10.2.1 The hardness shall conform to the requirements prescribed in Table 2. Hardness testing shall be performed in accordance with either Test Methods and Definitions A 370 or with Test Methods F 606. In the event a controversy exists relative to minimum strength, tension tests shall prevail over hardness readings. 10.2.2 Grade B7M — The maximum hardness of the grade shall be 235 HB or 99 HRB (conversion in accordance with Table 2B of Test Methods and Definitions A 370). The minimum hardness shall not be less than 200 HB or 93 HRB. Conformance to this hardness shall be insured by testing the hardness of each stud or bolt by Brinell or Rockwell B methods in accordance with 10.2.1. The use of 100% electromagnetic testing for hardness as an alternative to 100% indentation hardness testing is permissible when qualified by sampling using indentation hardness testing. Each lot tested for hardness electromagnetically shall be 100% examined in accordance with Practice E 566.
