ASTM A826/A826M-95

Standard Specification for Seamless Austenitic and Martensitic Stainless Steel Duct Tubes for Liquid Metal-Cooled Reactor Core Components

SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers seamless, annealed or cold worked, austenitic or martensitic stainless steel duct tubes of 2 to 7-in. [51 to 178 mm] outside dimensions with wall thickness of 0.250 in. [6.35 mm] or less for use at high temperature in liquid metal-cooled reactor plants.  
1.2 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 must be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in nonconformance with the specification.
1.3 This specification and the applicable material specifications are expressed in both inch-pound and SI units. However, unless the order specifies the applicable "M" specification designation (SI units), the material shall be furnished in inch-pound units.
