Overview
ASTM B626-19: Standard Specification for Welded Nickel and Nickel-Cobalt Alloy Tube is a key ASTM standard developed to ensure the quality and performance of welded nickel and nickel-cobalt alloy tubes. Covered under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee B02, this specification applies to tubes manufactured using nickel and nickel-cobalt alloys with various UNS designations, such as N10001, N10242, N10665, N12160, and others. The standard is primarily intended for tubes used in heat exchangers, condensers, and general corrosive service in heat-resistant applications.
The tubes must be manufactured from flat-rolled alloys using an automatic welding process without filler metal and must be supplied in the solution annealed and descaled condition. ASTM B626-19 outlines requirements for chemical composition, mechanical properties, testing, and inspection to promote safety, reliability, and international compatibility.
Key Topics
- Material Identification: Specifies nickel and nickel-cobalt alloys by the Unified Numbering System (UNS), promoting consistency and traceability.
- Tube Dimensions: Covers tubes with outside diameters from 1/8 to 3-1/2 inches (3.2 to 88.9 mm) and wall thicknesses from 0.015 to 0.148 inches (0.41 to 3.7 mm).
- Manufacturing Process: Requires tubes to be welded from flat-rolled alloy, without the addition of filler metal.
- Product Classes: Five distinct classes, reflecting combinations of welding, sizing, cold-working, annealing, and nondestructive testing.
- Mechanical and Chemical Requirements: Ensures each alloy meets prescribed tensile strength, yield strength, elongation, and chemical composition limits.
- Testing Protocols: Mandates hydrostatic, pneumatic, eddy current, flattening, and flange tests to confirm weld integrity and material soundness.
- Inspection and Certification: Outlines purchaser options for inspection, sampling, and certification.
Applications
ASTM B626-19 is widely used in industries that demand corrosion-resistant, heat-resistant tubing, including:
- Power generation - Heat exchanger and condenser tubes exposed to aggressive cooling waters or steam.
- Chemical and petrochemical - Tubes in processing equipment, piping systems, and critical infrastructure handling corrosive media.
- Pharmaceutical and food processing - Heat transfer applications requiring sanitary, corrosion-resistant tubing.
- Oil and gas - Downhole, subsea, and production practices where environmental resistance is essential.
- Refining and desalination - Condenser tubes and heat exchangers dealing with saline and high-chloride environments.
The standard supports engineers and specifiers in selecting tube materials that will perform reliably under harsh operational conditions, extending equipment lifespan and reducing maintenance costs.

This document is not an ASTM standard and is intended only to provide the user of an ASTM standard an indication of what changes have been made to the previous version. Because
it may not be technically possible to adequately depict all changes accurately, ASTM recommends that users consult prior editions as appropriate. In all cases only the current version
of the standard as published by ASTM is to be considered the official document.
Designation: B626 − 17a B626 − 19
Standard Specification for
Welded Nickel and Nickel-Cobalt Alloy Tube
This standard is issued under the fixed designation B626; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year of
original adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. A
superscript epsilon (´) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.
1. Scope*
1.1 This specification covers welded tubes made from the nickel and nickel-cobalt alloys (UNS N10001, UNS N10242, UNS
N10665, UNS N12160, UNS N10629, UNS N10624, UNS N10675, UNS N10276, UNS N06455, UNS N06007, UNS N06975,

general corrosive service for heat-resisting applications.
1 1
1.2 This specification covers tube ⁄8 to 3 ⁄2 in. (3.2 to 88.9 mm) in outside diameter and 0.015 to 0.148 in. (0.41 to 3.7 mm)
inclusive, in wall thickness.
1.3 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical
conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.
1.4 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 Safety Data Sheet
(SDS) for this product/material as provided by the manufacturer, to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental
practices, and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
1.5 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization
established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued
by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
