ASTM A520 is a standard specification for the construction of high-temperature boilers for seamless and resistance-welded carbon steel pipe products in compliance with ISO recommended supplementary requirements.
If boiling steel or other than killed steel is a special requirement for the manufacture of resistance welded pipes, the fi cation A520 should be carried with a single width not to be cut longitudinally except trimming edges.
The specified high temperature yield strength value should not be lower than given. The yield strength corresponding to a permanent offset of 0.2% of the specimen length or 0.5% of the total length under load shall be determined.
For a total of 400 tubes or tubes, each with a total of 50 tubes or 2% tubes, the manufacturer's choice should submit a tensile test, a flattening test, and a fl ring or fl change test. For more than 400tubes lots, an additional tube, 100 tubes or parts thereof should be tested.
The fl-phone fl test is only applicable to tubes with an outside diameter not greater than 6. (152.4 mm) and wall thickness not more than 0.350. (8.89 mm).
A lot of FiNeide is produced as a group of identical diameter and wall thickness tubes from the same specification fi cation metal.
