ASTM B313/B313M-00
(Specification)Standard Specification for Aluminum and Aluminum-Alloy Round Welded Tubes
Standard Specification for Aluminum and Aluminum-Alloy Round Welded Tubes
SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers aluminum and aluminum-alloy tubes made from formed sheet and seam welded by continuous methods.
1.2 Alloy (Note 1) and temper designations are in accordance with ANSI H35.1 [H35.1M]. The equivalent Unified Numbering System alloy designations are those of Table 1 preceded by A9, for example, A91100 for aluminum 1100 in accordance with Practice E 527. Note 1-Throughout this specification use of the term alloy in the general sense includes aluminum as well as aluminum alloy. Note 2-For the requirements for sheet see Specification B209, for Aluminum and Aluminum-Alloy Sheet and Plate.
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 or SI units are to be regarded separately as standards. The SI units are shown either in brackets or in separate tables. The values stated in each system are not exact equivalents; therefore, each system must be used independently of the other. Combining values from two systems will result in nonconformance with the specification.

For purposes of determining conformance to these limits, an observed value or a calculated value attained from analysis shall be rounded to the nearest unit in the
last righthand place of figures used in expressing the specified limit, in accordance with the rounding method of Practice E 29.
D
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 this 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 Total, the material shall be considered
nonconforming.
