(Specification)Standard Specification for Centrifugally Cast Ferritic/Austenitic Stainless Steel Pipe for Corrosive Environments
Standard Specification for Centrifugally Cast Ferritic/Austenitic Stainless Steel Pipe for Corrosive Environments
SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers centrifugally cast ferritic/ austenitic steel pipe intended for general corrosive service. These steels are susceptible to embrittlement if used for prolonged periods at elevated temperatures.
1.2 Optional supplementary requirements are provided when additional testing may be required.
1.3 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as the standard.
