ASTM B165-05

Standard Specification for Nickel-Copper Alloy (UNS N04400)* Seamless Pipe and Tube

ABSTRACT
This specification covers nickel-copper alloy UNS N04400 in the form of cold-worked seamless pipe and tube. The material shall conform to the composition limits specified. Tension test, hydrostatic test, nondestructive electric test, and rounding method shall be done in accordance to the specified requirements.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers nickel-copper alloy UNS N04400* in the form of cold-worked seamless pipe and tube in the conditions shown in Table 1 and Table X1.1.
1.1.1 Hot worked material is available. Properties and permissible tolerances are to be agreed upon between the manufacturer and purchaser.
1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.
1.3 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 become familiar with all hazards including those identified in the appropriate Material Safety Data Sheet for this product/material as provided by the manufacturer, to establish appropriate safety and health practices, and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
