ASTM B407-01

Standard Specification for Nickel-Iron-Chromium Alloy Seamless Pipe and Tube

SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers UNS N08120, UNS N08800, UNS N08801, UNS N08810, UNS N08811, and UNS N08890 in the form of cold-worked and hot-finished annealed seamless pipe and tube. Alloy UNS N08800 is normally employed in service temperatures up to and including 1100°F (593°C). Alloys UNS N08120, UNS N08810, UNS N08811, and UNS N08890 are normally employed in service temperatures above 1100°F (593°C) where resistance to creep and rupture is required, and they are annealed to develop controlled grain size for optimum properties in this temperature range.
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 The following safety hazards caveat pertains only to the test method portion, Section13 , of this specification. 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.
