Applicable standards

14 specifications. Name the standard and its edition on the order.

The current edition of ASTM B677 no longer covers N08926 — confirm the applicable specification with us when you enquire for seamless tube.

More detail 2

In B804 welded pipe the Class fixes whether the weld is single- or double-sided, whether filler is added in the root pass and whether the weld is radiographed, so state the Class on the order; for severe chloride service prefer Class 1 or 2.

For A403 fittings the G48 Method C pitting test is run only when supplementary requirement S4 is ordered, at a temperature agreed between the parties.

Guaranteed values and required tests differ between specifications — see Mechanical minima by form for the figures per form.
