Designation:B658/B658M11(Reapproved 2016)Standard Specification forSeamless and Welded Zirconium and Zirconium Alloy Pipe1This standard is issued under the fixed designation B658/B658M;the number immediately following the designation indicates the yearof original adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.A superscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This specification2covers three grades of seamless andwelded zirconium pipe.1.2 Unless a single unit is used,for example corrosion massgain in mg/dm2,the values stated in either inch-pound or SIunits are to be regarded separately as standard.The valuesstated in each system are not exact equivalents;therefore eachsystem must be used independently of the other.SI valuescannot be mixed with inch-pound values.1.3 The following precautionary caveat pertains only to thetest methods portions of this specification:This standard doesnot purport to address all of the safety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is the responsibility of the user of thisstandard to establish appropriate safety and health practicesand determine the applicability of regulatory limitations priorto use.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:3B614 Practice for Descaling and Cleaning Zirconium andZirconium Alloy SurfacesE8/E8M Test Methods for Tension Testing of Metallic Ma-terialsE29 Practice for Using Significant Digits in Test Data toDetermine Conformance with SpecificationsE2626 Guide for Spectrometric Analysis of Reactive andRefractory Metals2.2 ANSI Standard:B36.19 Stainless Steel Pipe42.3 ASME Standard:ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code,Section VIII5ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code,Section IX53.Terminology3.1 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:3.1.1 annealed,nfor purposes of this specification“an-nealed”denotes material that exhibits a recrystallized grainstructure.3.2 Lot Definitions:3.2.1 pipe,na lot shall consist of a material of the samesize,shape,condition,and finish produced from the same ingotor powder blend by the same reduction schedule and the sameheat treatment parameters.Unless otherwise agreed betweenmanufacturer and purchaser,a lot shall be limited to theproduct of an 8 h period for final continuous anneal,or to asingle furnace load for final batch anneal.4.Classification4.1 The pipe is furnished in three grades as follows:4.1.1 Grade R60702Unalloyed zirconium.4.1.2 Grade R60704Zirconium-tin alloy.4.1.3 Grade R60705Zirconium-niobium alloy.5.Ordering Information5.1 Orders for materials under this specification shouldinclude the following information:5.1.1 Quantity(weight or total length),5.1.2 Name of material(zirconium pipe),5.1.3 Grade number(see 4.1),5.1.4 Nominal pipe size and schedule(Table X1.1),5.1.5 Lengths(random or specified cut lengths),5.1.6 Method of manufacture(Section 6),5.1.7 Workmanship and quality level requirements(Section10),5.1.8 ASTM designation and year of issue,and1This specification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee B10 onReactive and Refractory Metals and Alloys and is the direct responsibility ofSubcommittee B10.02 on Zirconium and Hafnium.Current edition approved May 1,2016.Published May 2016.Originallyapproved in 1979.Last previous edition approved in 2011 as B658/B658M 111.DOI:10.1520/B0658_B0658M-11R16.2For ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code Applications,see related Specifi-cation SB-658 in Section II of that Code.3For referenced ASTM standards,visit the ASTM website,www.astm.org,orcontact ASTM Customer Service at serviceastm.org.For Annual Book of ASTMStandards volume information,refer to the standards Document Summary page onthe ASTM website.4Available from American National Standards Institute(ANSI),25 W.43rd St.,4th Floor,New York,NY 10036,http:/www.ansi.org.5Available from American Society of Mechanical Engineers(ASME),ASMEInternational Headquarters,Three Park Ave.,New York,NY 10016-5990,http:/www.asme.org.Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United States1 5.1.9 Additions to the specification and supplementaryrequirements,if required.See 7.3,14.1,15.1,and 18.1 foradditional optional requirements for the purchase order.NOTE1A typical ordering description is as follows:240-ft 70-mmzirconium pipe,seamless,descaled 3.0-in.75-mm Schedule 40 by 12-ft3-m lengths,ASTM B658/B658M-05,Grade R60702.6.Materials and Manufacture6.1 Seamless pipe shall be made from any seamless methodthat will yield a product meeting this specification.6.2 Pipe containing welded seams or other joints made bywelding shall comply with the following provisions:6.2.1 Welded by welders,welding operators,and weldingprocedures qualified under the provisions of Section IX of theASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code.6.2.2 Filler metal,when used,shall be the same grade as thebase metal.6.2.3 Welds in grade R60705 shall be stress relief annealedwithin 14 d
