Standard Specification for Nickel-Iron-Chromium-Silicon Alloy Welded Pipe
ABSTRACT
This specification covers UNS N08330 and N08332 high-temperature alloy welded pipes for heat-resisting applications and general corrosive service. The pipes should be made from the flat-rolled alloys by an automatic welding process without any filler metal additions. After welding, the materials should be cold worked, either in weld and base metal or in weld metal only, then annealed. Each end of one pipe per lot will be subjected to a flattening test.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification2 covers alloys UNS N08330 and UNS N08332 in the form of welded pipe intended for heat-resisting applications and general-corrosive service.
1.2 The pipe covered is nominal pipe sizes up to and including size 12, with the nominal wall thicknesses given as Schedules 5S, 10S, 40S, and 80S. Table 2 of Specification B775 is based on Table A1 of ANSI B36.19 and gives the nominal dimension of these sizes. Table 3 of Specification B775 lists the dimensional requirements of these sizes. Pipe having other dimensions may be furnished provided such pipe complies with all other requirements of this 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 become familiar with all hazards including those identified in the appropriate Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for this product/material as provided by the manufacturer, 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 B710-20ae1, titled Standard Specification for Nickel-Iron-Chromium-Silicon Alloy Welded Pipe, is a widely recognized ASTM International standard. It specifies the requirements for welded pipes made from high-temperature alloys UNS N08330 and N08332. These pipes are intended for heat-resisting applications and general corrosive service, making them essential in industries where materials must withstand demanding thermal and corrosive environments. The specification outlines manufacturing processes, mechanical properties, chemical composition, and testing requirements, ensuring the quality and reliability of nickel-iron-chromium-silicon alloy welded pipes.
Key Topics
- Scope and Application
- Covers welded pipes up to and including nominal size 12, available in Schedules 5S, 10S, 40S, and 80S.
- Applicable to pipes used for heat-resisting and corrosive service environments.
- Material Grades
- Focuses on alloys identified as UNS N08330 and UNS N08332.
- Requires adherence to specific chemical composition limits for elements like nickel, iron, chromium, and silicon.
- Manufacturing Process
- Pipes must be produced through an automatic welding process using flat-rolled alloy materials.
- No filler metals are permitted during welding, maintaining alloy integrity.
- After welding, pipes are cold-worked and subsequently annealed to improve mechanical properties.
- Mechanical and Chemical Requirements
- Mechanical properties, such as tensile and yield strength, are stipulated.
- Pipes must meet specified hardness and elongation requirements.
- Strict chemical analysis ensures consistent alloy composition.
- Testing and Inspection
- Each pipe batch requires mechanical property testing and flattening tests.
- Nondestructive testing (pressure test or electric test) is mandatory.
- Purchasers may specify supplementary evaluations and documentation, including product analysis and certification.
Applications
ASTM B710 pipes are valued in a variety of critical industries, including:
- Petrochemical and Chemical Processing:
- Used in process piping, reactors, and heat exchangers where high temperature and corrosion resistance are key.
- Power Generation:
- Suitable for super-heaters, reheater tubes, and boiler components.
- Oil and Gas:
- Employed in production and refining plants, especially in environments with aggressive media.
- Industrial Furnaces and Kilns:
- Withstand repeated thermal cycling and oxidizing atmospheres.
- Aerospace and Energy:
- Utilized in systems exposed to extreme operating conditions.
The stringent specifications of ASTM B710 ensure that pipes deliver reliable performance and extended service life, reducing maintenance and downtime in complex systems.
