The materials shall conform to the required chemical composition for nickel, chromium, iorn, manganese, carbon, copper, silicon, sulfur, aluminum, titanium, columbium, molybdenum, phosphorus, tungsten, cobalt, and nitrogen. The materials shall conform to the requred mechaniical properties such as tensile strength, yield strength, and elongation. A transverse sample representing the full wall thickness of annealed alloys UNS N08120 and N08810 shall conform to the average grain size. Pipe shall be capable of withstanding, without cracking, flattening under a load applied gradually. Each piece of each lot shall be subjected to hydrostatic test, pneumatic test, eddy current test, ultrasonic test, leak test, electric test, and transverse guided bend test.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification2 covers nickel-iron-chromium alloys in the form of welded, cold-worked, and annealed pipe for general corrosive service and heat-resisting applications. These products are furnished in three alloys: UNS N08120, UNS N08800, and UNS N08810.3 Alloy UNS N08800 is employed normally in service temperatures up to and including 1100 °F (593 °C). Alloys UNS N08120 and UNS N08810 are employed normally in service temperatures above 1100 °F where resistance to creep and rupture is required, and are annealed to develop controlled grain size for optimum properties in this temperature range.  
1.2 This specification covers outside diameter and nominal wall pipe shown in ANSI B36.19. Pipe having other dimensions may be furnished provided such pipe complies with all other requirements of the specification.  
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 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.

Overview

ASTM B514-05(2019) is the industry standard specification from ASTM International for welded, cold-worked, and annealed nickel-iron-chromium alloy pipe. These pipes are specifically designed for general corrosive service and high-temperature, heat-resisting applications. ASTM B514 details requirements for chemical composition, mechanical properties, tests, and inspection procedures to ensure consistent quality and performance. The standard covers three primary alloy grades: UNS N08120, UNS N08800, and UNS N08810, each offering reliable resistance to corrosion and heat under demanding industrial conditions.

Key Topics

  • Material Grades: Includes specifications for three widely used nickel-iron-chromium alloys (UNS N08120, UNS N08800, UNS N08810), each tailored for different temperature and corrosive conditions.
  • Mechanical Properties: Details minimum tensile strength, yield strength, and elongation requirements, ensuring the alloys can withstand operational stresses.
  • Chemical Composition: Specifies acceptable ranges for elements including nickel, chromium, iron, manganese, carbon, silicon, aluminum, titanium, columbium, molybdenum, phosphorus, tungsten, cobalt, and nitrogen.
  • Dimensional Standards: Aligns with ANSI B36.19 for outside diameter and nominal wall thickness, ensuring compatibility with common piping systems.
  • Testing Requirements: Mandates flattening, nondestructive (hydrostatic, pneumatic, eddy current, ultrasonic), and transverse guided bend tests to verify durability and integrity.
  • Grain Size Control: Stipulates average grain size for specific alloys to optimize resistance to creep and rupture at elevated temperatures.

Applications

ASTM B514 pipes are essential in various industries where superior corrosion resistance and heat tolerance are required, including:

  • Chemical and Petrochemical Plants: Used in processing systems that handle corrosive process streams and require high-temperature resilience.
  • Power Generation: Ideal for boiler, heat exchanger, and superheater piping in thermal and nuclear applications.
  • Oil and Gas Industry: Suitable for transporting aggressive media, especially where corrosion and high operating temperatures are concerns.
  • Industrial Furnaces and Equipment: Employed where structural integrity and resistance to oxidation and thermal fatigue are essential.
  • Pharmaceutical and Food Processing: Preferred for sanitary process piping when handling corrosive cleaning agents or susceptible to high temperature sterilization.

The choice of alloy depends on the service temperature:

  • UNS N08800: Suitable for temperatures up to and including 1100°F (593°C).
  • UNS N08120 & N08810: Suitable for service temperatures above 1100°F, where enhanced resistance to creep and rupture is critical.

Related Standards

For complete compliance and interoperability within industrial applications, other relevant standards include:

  • ASTM B775: General requirements for nickel and nickel-alloy welded pipe, referenced for additional technical conditions.
  • ASTM B899: Terminology for nonferrous metals and alloys.
  • ANSI B36.19: Pertains to dimensions of welded and seamless wrought stainless steel pipe.
  • ASME SB-514: The equivalent specification for applications falling under the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code.

These standards collectively provide a framework for specifying, procuring, and verifying nickel-iron-chromium alloy pipe, ensuring fitness for purpose in aggressive operational environments.
