6 PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

Density: 7.93g/cm³

Melting range: 1398-1427℃

Specific heat: 500J(kg.K)

Specific electric resistivity: 0.75 nN.m

Modulus of elasticity:

7 MECHANICAL PROPERTY

The material shall conform to the requirements as to tensile properties specified in Table 3.

Table 3

8 HEAT TREATMENT

The material shall be furnished in the solution heat treated condition. The heat-treatment procedure shall consist of heating the material to a minimum austenitizing temperature of 1900°F(1040°C), followed by quenching in water or rapidly cooling by other means. Alternatively, for seamless tubes, immediately following hot forming while the temperature of the tubes is not less than the specified minimum solution treatment temperature, tubes may be individually quenched in water or rapidly cooled by other means.

A solution annealing temperature above 1950°F [1065°C] may impair the resistance to intergranular corrosion after

subsequent exposure to sensitizing conditions in TP348.

9 PROCESS

Tube blank → Peeling → Blanking → Heating → Hot piercing → Cooling → Finishing → Pickling → Lubricating

→ Cold rolling → Degrease → Heat treatment → Straightening → Tube cutting → Pickling → Inspection → Packing.

OR

Tube blank → Peeling → Blanking → Inner hole drilling → Lubricating → Cold rolling or drawing → Degrease

→ Bright annealing → Straightening → ID and OD surface polishing → Inspection → Packing.

10 DIMENSION

Permissible variations in dimensions

11 FLARING TEST

A section of tube approximately 4 in.(101.6 mm) in length shall stand being flared with a tool having a 60°included angle until the tube at the mouth of the flare has been expanded to the following percentages without cracking or showing flaws:

12 Hydrostatic, Air Underwater Pressure Test, or Nondestructive Electric Test

Each tube shall be subjected to the hydrostatic test, air underwater pressure test, or nondestructive electric test. The

type of test to be used shall be at the option of the manufacturer, unless otherwise specified in the purchase order.

Hydrostatic Test

Each tube shall be subjected to a hydrostatic test at a test pressure not exceeding 1000 psi (6.89MPa).

Air Underwater Pressure Test

Each tube shall be subjected to an air underwater pressure test, at a test pressure as given by the following equation or 500 psi (3.4 MPa), whichever is less: P=2St/D

where:

P = air pressure, psi or MPa

S = allowable fiber stress of 16,000 psi (110.3 MPa),

t = specified wall thickness, in. or mm, and

D = specified outside diameter, in. or mm.

Nondestructive Electric Test

Each tube shall be subjected to a nondestructive electric test that is capable of detecting imperfections with a

depth exceeding 10 % of the wall thickness or 0.002 in. (0.05mm), whichever is greater. Testing will not be required on sizes under 0.125 in. (3.18 mm) in outside diameter. However, at the option of the purchaser, tubing to be drawn to a diameter under 0.125 in. may be tested while in the range from 0.156 in. (3.97mm) to 0.125 in. outside diameter, and any defects that are found shall be culled out before any further reductions are made.
