(Specification)Standard Specification for Aluminum and Aluminum-Alloy Seamless Pipe and Seamless Extruded Tube for Gas and Oil Transmission and Distribution Piping Systems (Withdrawn 2011)
Standard Specification for Aluminum and Aluminum-Alloy Seamless Pipe and Seamless Extruded Tube for Gas and Oil Transmission and Distribution Piping Systems (Withdrawn 2011)
ABSTRACT
This specification covers aluminum and aluminum-alloy seamless pipe and seamless extruded tube for gas and oil transmission and distribution piping systems. The pipe and tube shall be produced from hollow extrusion ingot (cast in hollow form or pierced) and shall be extruded by use of the die and mandrel method. The pipe and tube shall conform to the chemical composition requirements specified. The determination of chemical composition shall be made in accordance with suitable chemical (test methods E 34), or spectrochemical (test methods E 227, E 607, and E 1251) methods. Heat treatment for the production of T1 and T5-type tempers shall be in accordance with Practice B 807, and for the production of T4 and T6-type tempers, except as noted, shall be in accordance with practice B 918. Unless otherwise specified, alloys 6061, 6063, and 6351 may be solution heat treated and quenched at the extrusion press in accordance with practice B 807 for the production of T4 and T6-type tempers, as applicable. The material shall conform to the tensile property requirements specified. The tension tests shall be made in accordance with test methods B 557 and B 557M. Pipe and tube heat treated at the extrusion press shall conform to all requirements specified.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers seamless pipe and seamless extruded tube in the aluminum and aluminum alloys (Note 1) and tempers listed in Table 1 and Table 2, respectively. Seamless pipe and seamless tube are intended for use in applications involving internal pressure.
Note 1—Throughout this specification use of the term alloyin the general sense includes aluminum as well as aluminum alloy.
Note 2—For drawn seamless tubes, see Specifications B 210 and B 210M; for extruded tubes, Specifications B 221 and B 221M; for drawn seamless tubes for condensers and heat exchangers, Specifications B 234 and B 234M; for seamless pipe and seamless extruded tube, B241/B 241M; for round welded tubes, Specification B 313/B 313M; for seamless condenser and heat exchanger tubes with integral fins, Specifications B 404 and B 404M; for extruded structural pipe and tube, Specification B 429; and for drawn tube for general purpose applications, Specifications B 483 and B 483M.
1.2 Alloy and temper designations are in accordance with ANSI H35.1 [H35.1M]. The equivalent Unified Numbering System alloy designations are those of Table 3 preceded by A9, for example, A93003 for aluminum alloy 3003 in accordance with Practice E 527.
1.3 For acceptance criteria for inclusion of new aluminum and aluminum alloys in this specification, see Annex A2.
1.4 The values stated in either inch-pound units or SI units are to be regarded separately 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 shall be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in nonconformance with the specification.
WITHDRAWN RATIONALE
This specification covers seamless pipe and seamless extruded tube in aluminum and aluminum alloys and tempers. Seamless pipe and seamless tube are intended for use in applications involving internal pressure.
Formerly under the jurisdiction of Committee B07 on Light Metals and Alloys, this specification was withdrawn in January 2011. This standard was withdrawn without replacement due to its limited use by industry.
