1. Scope
1.1 This specification covers two classes of fit-up and alignment quality straight-seam single- or double-welded austenitic steel
pipe intended for high-temperature and general corrosive service.
NOTE 1—When the impact test criterion for a low-temperature service would be 15 ft·lbf [20 J] energy absorption or 15 mils [0.38 mm] lateral
expansion, some of the austenitic stainless steel grades covered by this specification are accepted by certain pressure vessel or piping codes without the
necessity of making the actual test. For example, Grades 304, 304L, and 347 are accepted by theASME Pressure Vessel Code, Section VIII Division 1,
andbytheChemicalPlantandRefineryPipingCode,ANSIB31.3forserviceattemperaturesaslowas−425°F[−250°C]withoutqualificationbyimpact
tests. OtherAISI stainless steel grades are usually accepted for service temperatures as low as −325°F [−200°C] without impact testing. Impact testing
may, under certain circumstances, be required. For example, materials with chromium or nickel content outside the AISI ranges, and for material with
carbon content exceeding 0.10%, are required to be impact tested under the rules ofASME SectionVIII Division 1 when service temperatures are lower
than −50°F [−45°C]
1.2 Grades TP304H, TP304N, TP316H, TP316N, TP321H, TP347H, and TP348H are modifications of Grades TP304, TP316,
TP321, TP347, and TP348, and are intended for high-temperature service.
1.3 Two classes of pipe are covered as follows:
1.3.1 Class SW—Pipe, single-welded with no addition of filler metal and
1.3.2 Class DW—Pipe, double-welded with no addition of filler metal.
1.4 Optional supplementary requirements are provided for pipe where a greater degree of testing is desired. These
supplementary requirements call for additional tests to be made and, when desired, one or more of these may be specified in the
order.
1.5 Table 1 lists the dimensions of welded stainless steel pipe as shown in ANSI B36.19. Pipe having other dimensions may
be furnished provided such pipe complies with all other requirements of this specification.
1.6 Thevaluesstatedineitherinch-poundunitsorSIunitsaretoberegardedseparatelyasstandard.Withinthetext,theSIunits
are shown in brackets. The values stated in each system are not exact equivalents; therefore, each system must be used
independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in nonconformance with the specification. The
inch-pound units shall apply unless the “M” designation of this specification is specified in the order.

and quenching in water or rapidly cooling by other means.
4.2.4 UNS N08367 should be solution annealed from 2025°F [1107°C] minimum followed by rapid quenching.
4.2.5 Except for H Grades and S31254, pipe sizes over NPS 6 may be furnished in the unheat-treated condition when specified
in the order.
4.2.6 H Grades and S31254 in pipe sizes NPS 6 may be furnished in the unheat-treated condition when specified in the order,
provided the heat treatment of 4.2.2 or 4.2.3, as applicable, is applied by the purchaser.
4.2.7 When the pipe is furnished without final heat treatment, each pipe shall be marked HT-O and when a material test report
for such pipe is furnished to the purchaser, the report shall indicate that the pipe has not been heat-treated.
5. Chemical Composition
5.1 The steel shall conform to the chemical composition in Table 2.
5.2 When specified on the purchase order, a product analysis shall be supplied from one tube or coil of steel per heat. The
product analysis tolerance of Specification A480/A480M shall apply.
6. ProductAnalysis
6.1 At the request of the purchaser, an analysis of one length of flat-rolled stock from each heat, or one pipe from each lot shall
be made by the manufacturer. A lot of pipe shall consist of the following number of lengths of the same size and wall thickness
from any one heat of steel.
NPS Number Lengths of Pipe in Lot
Under 2 400 or fraction thereof
2 to 5 inclusive 200 or fraction thereof
6 and over 100 or fraction thereof
6.2 The results of these analyses shall be reported to the purchaser or his representative, and shall conform to the requirements
specified in Section 5.
6.3 If the analysis of one of the tests specified in 6.1 does not conform to the requirements specified in Section 5, an analysis
of each length of flat-rolled stock from each heat or pipe from the same heat or lot may be made, and all pipe conforming to the
requirements shall be accepted.
6.4 For referee purposes, Test Methods, Practices, and Terminology A751 shall be used.
