Standard Specification for Aluminum and Aluminum-Alloy Round Welded Tubes

ABSTRACT
This specification covers aluminum and aluminum-alloy tubes made from formed sheet and seam welded by continuous methods. Chemical conformance shall be determined by analyzing samples taken at a time the ingots are poured, or samples taken from the finished or semi-finished product, following conditions set in the specification. The temper of the tubes shall be that of the sheet from which the tubes are formed, and the sheet shall conform to the specified tensile property requirements. The tube shall be subjected to tension, capability, and pressure tests.
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 preceded by A9, for example, A91100 for aluminum 1100 in accordance with Practice E 527.
Note 1—Throughout this specification use of the term alloyin the general sense includes aluminum as well as aluminum alloy.
Note 2—For the requirements for sheet see Specification B 209.
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.
1.5 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 establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
