(Specification)Standard Specification for Welded Nickel and Nickel-Cobalt Alloy Tube
Standard Specification for Welded Nickel and Nickel-Cobalt Alloy Tube
ABSTRACT
This specification covers welded tubes made from nickel and nickel-cobalt alloys with UNS Nos. N10001, N10242, N10665, N12160, N10629, N10624, N10675, N10276, N06455, N06007, N06975, N08320, N06985, N06002, N06022, N06030, N06035, N06058, N06059, N06200, N06210, N08031, R30556, N06230, N06686, and R20033. These alloys are intended for heat exchanger and condenser tubes and tubes for general corrosive service for heat-resisting applications. The tubes shall be made from flat-rolled alloy by an automatic welding process with no addition of filler metal, and shall be furnished in the solution annealed and descaled conditions. Materials shall adhere to mechanical (tensile strength, yield strength, and elongation), chemical composition, flattening test, flange test, hydrostatic test, pneumatic test, and eddy current test requirements.
