Standard Specification for Aluminum and Aluminum-Alloy Drawn Seamless Tubes for Surface Condensers, Evaporators, and Heat Exchangers (Metric)
用于表面冷凝器 蒸发器和换热器的铝和铝合金拉制无缝管的标准规范(公制)
1.1
This specification covers aluminum-alloy (
Note 1
) drawn seamless round tube in straight lengths designated as shown in the
Table 2
, for use in surface condensers, evaporators, and heat exchangers.
Note 1:
Throughout this specification use of the term
alloy
in the general sense includes aluminum as well as aluminum alloy.
Note 2:
For drawn seamless tubes used in general applications, see Specifications
B210
and
B210M
; for extruded tubes see Specifications
B221
and
B221M
; for seamless pipe and seamless extruded tube used in pressure applications, see Specification
B241/B241M
; and for structural pipe and tube see Specification
B429/B429M
.
(A)
Limits are in percent maximum unless shown as a range or otherwise stated.
(B)
Analysis shall be made for the elements for which limits are shown in this table.
(C)
For purposes of determining conformance to these limits, an observed value or a calculated value attained from analysis shall be rounded to the nearest unit in the last right-hand place of figures used in expressing the specified limit, in accordance with the rounding-off method of Practice
E29
.
(D)
Others
includes listed elements for which no specific limit is shown as well as unlisted metallic elements. The producer may analyze samples for trace elements not specified in this specification. However, such analysis is not required and may not cover all metallic
Others
elements. Should any analysis by the producer or the purchaser establish that an
Others
element exceeds the limit of
Each
or that the aggregate of several
Others
elements exceeds the limit of
Total
, the material shall be considered nonconforming.
(E)
Other Elements
—
Total
shall be the sum of unspecified metallic elements 0.010 % or more, rounded to the second decimal before determining the sum.
(F)
Vanadium 0.05 max.
(G)
The aluminum content shall be calculated by subtracting from 100.00 % the sum of all the metallic elements present in amounts of 0.010 % or more, rounded to the second decimal before determining the sum.
(H)
Composition of cladding alloy as applied during the course of manufacture. The sample from finished tube shall not be required to conform to these limits.
(I)
In case there is a discrepancy in the values listed in Table 1 with those listed in the “International Alloy Designations and Chemical Composition Limits for Wrought Aluminum and Wrought Aluminum Alloys” (known as the “Teal Sheets”), the composition limits registered with the Aluminum Association and published in the “Teal Sheets” shall be considered the controlling composition. The “Teal Sheets” are available at http://www.aluminum.org/tealsheets.
(A)
To determine conformance to this specification, each value for tensile strength and for yield strength shall be rounded to the nearest 1 MPa and each value for elongation to the nearest 0.5 %, both in accordance with the rounding-off method of Practice
E29
.
(B)
The basis for establishment of mechanical property limits is shown in
Annex A1
.
1.2
Alloy and temper designations are in accordance with ANSI H35.1M. The equivalent Unified Numbering System alloy designations are those of
Table 1
preceded by
E215
, for example, A91060 for aluminum 1060, in accordance with Practice
E527
.
1.3
For acceptance criteria for inclusion of new aluminum and aluminum alloys in this specification, see
Annex A1
.
1.4
This specification is the SI companion to Specification
B234
.
1.5
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.
1.6
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.
