ABSTRACT
This specification covers aluminum and aluminum-alloy drawn seamless tubes in straight lengths and coils for general purpose. The tube shall be produced by drawing an extruded tube made from hollow extrusion ingot (cast in hollow form or pierced) and extruded by the use of the die and mandrel method. The tubes 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 607 and E 1251), methods. The tube shall conform to the tensile property requirements specified. The tension tests shall be made in accordance with test methods B 557M. Flattening test specimens shall be flattened sidewise under a gradually applied load so as to give a uniform radius of bend until the minimum outside diameter under load is not more than F times the wall thickness of the tube as specified. The specimen shall be forced axially with steady pressure over a hardened and polished tapered steel pin having a 74° included angle, to produce a flare having the permanent expanded outside diameter specified. When specified, heat treatment of applicable tempers shall be in accordance with practice B 918. The different methods for leak testing of tubes are presented.

See Annex A1.
B
To determine conformance to this specification, each value for tensile strength and for yield strength shall be rounded to the nearest 0.1 ksi and each value for elongation
to the nearest 0.5 % both in accordance with the rounding-off method of Practice E29.
C
Coiled tube is generally available with a maximum wall thickness of 0.083 in. and only in non-heat-treatable alloys.
D
Yield strength to be determined only on straight tube.
E
Elongation of full-section and cut-out sheet-type specimens is measured in 2 in. of cut-out round specimens, in 4× specimen diameter.
F
In this alloy tube other than round is produced only in the F (as drawn) and O tempers. Properties for F temper are not specified, guaranteed, tested, or provided.
B210/B210M − 19a
G
Beginning with the 1982 issue the requirements for the H112 tempers were replaced by the H113 temper, applicable to other than round tube, which is fabricated by
cold-forming annealed round tube and acquires some temper in this forming operation.
H
Material in the T42 or T62 tempers is not available from the material producers.
I
For specified wall thickness under 0.025 in., elongation is not required.
J
Applicable only to round tube. The maximum yield strength for other-than-round tube shall be negotiated.
K
Material in this temper exhibits improved resistance to stress corrosion compared to that of the T6 temper. The stress-corrosion resistance capability of individual lots
is determined by testing the previously selected tension-test samples in accordance with the applicable electrical conductivity acceptance criteria of Table 4.

A
Limits are in weight percent maximum unless shown as a range or otherwise stated.
B
Analysis shall be made for the elements for which limits are shown in this table.
C
For purposes of determining conformance to these limits, an observed value or a calculated value obtained from analysis shall be rounded to the nearest unit in the last
right-hand place of figures used in expressing the specified limit, in accordance with the rounding-off method of Practice E29.
D
In case of a discrepancy in the values listed in Table 1 with those listed in the International Alloy Designations and Chemical Composition Limits for Wrought Aluminum
and Wrought Aluminum Alloys (known as the “Teal Sheets”), the composition limits registered with the Aluminum Association and published in the “Teal Sheets” shall be
considered the controlling composition. The “Teal Sheets” are available at http://www.aluminum.org/tealsheets.
E
Others includes listed elements for which no specific limit is shown as well as unlisted metallic elements. The producer may analyze samples for trace elements not
specified in the specification. However, such analysis is not required and may not cover all metallic Others elements. Should any analysis by the producer or the purchaser
establish that an Others element exceeds the limit of Each or that the aggregate of several Others elements exceeds the limit of Other Elements Total, the material shall
be considered non-conforming.
F
Other elements—Total shall be the sum of unspecified metallic elements 0.010 % or more, rounded to the second decimal before determining the sum.
G
Vanadium 0.05 % max.
H
The aluminum content shall be calculated by subtracting from 100.00 % the sum of all metallic elements present in amounts of 0.010 % or more each, rounded to the
second decimal before determining the sum.
I
Alloy clad with Alloy 7072.
J
Composition of cladding alloy as applied during the course of manufacture. The samples from finished tube shall not be required to conform to these limits.
K
A Zr + Ti limit of 0.25 percent maximum may be used with this alloy designation for extruded and forged products only, but only when the supplier or producer and the
purchaser have mutually so agreed. Agreement may be indicated, for example, by reference to a standard, by letter, by order note, or other means which allow the Zr +
Ti limit.

E
Elongation of full-section and cut-out sheet-type specimens is measured in 2 in. of cut-out round specimens, in 4× specimen diameter.
F
In this alloy tube other than round is produced only in the F (as drawn) and O tempers. Properties for F temper are not specified, guaranteed, tested, or provided.
B210/B210M − 19a
G
Beginning with the 1982 issue the requirements for the H112 tempers were replaced by the H113 temper, applicable to other than round tube, which is fabricated by
cold-forming annealed round tube and acquires some temper in this forming operation.
H
Material in the T42 or T62 tempers is not available from the material producers.
I
For specified wall thickness under 0.025 in., elongation is not required.
J
Applicable only to round tube. The maximum yield strength for other-than-round tube shall be negotiated.
K
Material in this temper exhibits improved resistance to stress corrosion compared to that of the T6 temper. The stress-corrosion resistance capability of individual lots
is determined by testing the previously selected tension-test samples in accordance with the applicable electrical conductivity acceptance criteria of Table 4.

apply to round test specimens machined from wall thicknesses over 6.30 mm.
F
In this alloy tube other than round is produced only in the F (as drawn) and O tempers. Properties for F temper are not specified, guaranteed, tested or provided.
G
Beginning with the 1982 issue the requirements for the H112 tempers were replaced by the H113 temper, applicable to other than round tube, which is fabricated by
cold-forming annealed round tube and acquires some temper in this forming operation.
H
Material in the T42 or T62 tempers is not available from the material producers.
I
For specified wall thickness under 0.63 mm, elongation is not required.
J
Applicable only to round tube. The maximum yield strength for other-than-round tube shall be negotiated.
K
Material in this temper exhibits improved resistance to stress corrosion compared to that of the T6 temper. The stress corrosion resistance capability of individual lots
is determined by testing the previously selected tension-test samples in accordance with the applicable electrical conductivity acceptance criteria of Table 4.

Electrical Conductivity, % IACS Level of Mechanical Properties
7075–T73 40.0 or greater per specified requirements acceptable
38.0 through 39.9 per specified requirements and yield acceptable
strength does not exceed minimum by
more than 11.9 ksi [82 MPa]
C
38.0 through 39.9 per specified requirements but yield unacceptable
strength exceeds minimum by 12.0 ksi
[82 MPa] or more
C
less than 38.0 any level unacceptable
A
The electrical conductivity shall be determined in accordance with Practice E1004 in the locations noted below.
B
For curved surfaces, the conductivity shall be measured on a machined flat spot; however, for small size tubes, a cut-out piece may be flattened and the conductivity
determined.
C
When material is found to be unacceptable, it shall be reprocessed (additional precipitation heat treatment or resolution heat treatment and precipitation heat treatment).

5. Materials and Manufacture
5.1 The tube shall be produced by drawing an extruded tube made from hollow extrusion ingot (cast in hollow form or pierced)
and extruded by the use of the die and mandrel method.
5.2 The ends of coiled tube shall be crimped or otherwise sealed to avoid contamination during shipment.
6. Responsibility for Quality Assurance
6.1 Responsibility for Inspection and Tests—Unless otherwise specified in the contract or purchase order, the producer is
responsible for the performance of all inspection and test requirements specified herein. The producer may use his own or any other
suitable facilities for the performance of the inspection and test requirements specified herein, unless disapproved by the purchaser
in the order or at the time of signing the contract. The purchaser shall have the right to perform any of the inspections and tests
set forth in this specification where such inspections are deemed necessary to ensure that material conforms to prescribed
requirements.
6.2 Lot Definition—An inspection lot shall be defined as follows:
6.2.1 For heat-treated tempers an inspection lot shall consist of an identifiable quantity of material of the same mill form, alloy,
temper, and nominal dimensions traceable to a heat-treat lot or lots, and subjected to inspection at one time.
6.2.2 For non-heat-treated tempers, an inspection lot shall consist of an identifiable quantity of material of the same mill form,
alloy, temper, and nominal dimensions subjected to inspection at one time.
7. Chemical Composition
7.1 Limits—The tubes shall conform to the chemical composition limits specified in Table 1. Conformance shall be determined
by the producer, by taking samples in accordance with Practices E716, when the ingots are poured, and analyzing those samples
