Designation:A813/A813M14Standard Specification forSingle-or Double-Welded Austenitic Stainless Steel Pipe1This standard is issued under the fixed designation A813/A813M;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.Scope*1.1 This specification covers two classes of fit-up andalignment quality straight-seam single-or double-welded aus-tenitic steel pipe intended for high-temperature and generalcorrosive service.NOTE1When the impact test criterion for a low-temperature servicewould be 15 ftlbf 20 J energy absorption or 15 mils 0.38 mm lateralexpansion,some of the austenitic stainless steel grades covered by thisspecification are accepted by certain pressure vessel or piping codeswithout the necessity of making the actual test.For example,Grades 304,304L,and 347 are accepted by the ASME Pressure Vessel Code,SectionVIII Division 1,and by the Chemical Plant and Refinery Piping Code,ANSI B31.3 for service at temperatures as low as 425 F 250 Cwithout qualification by impact tests.Other AISI stainless steel grades areusually accepted for service temperatures as low as 325 F 200 Cwithout impact testing.Impact testing may,under certain circumstances,be required.For example,materials with chromium or nickel contentoutside the AISI ranges,and for material with carbon content exceeding0.10%,are required to be impact tested under the rules of ASME SectionVIII Division 1 when service temperatures are lower than 50 F 45 C1.2 Grades TP304H,TP304N,TP316H,TP316N,TP321H,TP347H,and TP348H are modifications of Grades TP304,TP316,TP321,TP347,and TP348,and are intended forhigh-temperature service.1.3 Two classes of pipe are covered as follows:1.3.1 Class SWPipe,single-welded with no addition offiller metal and1.3.2 Class DWPipe,double-welded with no addition offiller metal.1.4 Optional supplementary requirements are provided forpipe where a greater degree of testing is desired.Thesesupplementary requirements call for additional tests to be madeand,when desired,one or more of these may be specified in theorder.1.5 Table 1 lists the dimensions of welded stainless steelpipe as shown in ANSI B36.19.Pipe having other dimensionsmay be furnished provided such pipe complies with all otherrequirements of this specification.1.6 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded separately as standard.Within the text,theSI units are shown in brackets.The values stated in eachsystem may not be exact equivalents;therefore,each systemshall be used independently of the other.Combining valuesfrom the two systems may result in non-conformance with thestandard.The inch-pound units shall apply unless the“M”designation of this specification is specified in the order.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2A262 Practices for Detecting Susceptibility to IntergranularAttack in Austenitic Stainless SteelsA370 Test Methods and Definitions for Mechanical Testingof Steel ProductsA480/A480M Specification for General Requirements forFlat-Rolled Stainless and Heat-Resisting Steel Plate,Sheet,and StripA751 Test Methods,Practices,and Terminology for Chemi-cal Analysis of Steel ProductsA999/A999M Specification for General Requirements forAlloy and Stainless Steel PipeE213 Practice for Ultrasonic Testing of Metal Pipe andTubingE381 Method of Macroetch Testing Steel Bars,Billets,Blooms,and ForgingsE426 Practice for Electromagnetic(Eddy-Current)Examina-tion of Seamless and Welded Tubular Products,Titanium,Austenitic Stainless Steel and Similar AlloysE527 Practice for Numbering Metals and Alloys in theUnified Numbering System(UNS)2.2ANSI Standards:3B1.20.1 Pipe Threads,General PurposeB31.3 Chemical Plant and Refinery Piping CodeB36.10 Welded and Seamless Wrought Steel PipeB36.19 Stainless Steel Pipe1This specification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee A01 on Steel,Stainless Steel and Related Alloys and is the direct responsibility of SubcommitteeA01.10 on Stainless and Alloy Steel Tubular Products.Current edition approved Oct.1,2014.Published November 2014.Originallyapproved in 1983.Last previous edition approved in 2009 as A813/A813M 09.DOI:10.1520/A0813_A0813M-14.2For 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.3Available from American National Standards Institute(ANSI),25 W.43rd St.,4th Floor,New York,NY 10036,http:/www.ansi.org.*A Summary of Changes section appears at the end of this standardCopyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United States1Copyright by ASTM Intl(all rights reserved);2.3 ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code:Section VIII Divisi
