Designation:A269/A269M15aStandard Specification forSeamless and Welded Austenitic Stainless Steel Tubing forGeneral Service1This standard is issued under the fixed designation A269/A269M;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.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the U.S.Department of Defense.1.Scope*1.1 This specification covers grades of nominal-wall-thickness,stainless steel tubing for general corrosion-resistingand low-or high-temperature service,as designated in Table 1.1.2 The tubing sizes and thicknesses usually furnished tothis specification are14in.6.4 mm in inside diameter andlarger and 0.020 in.0.51 mm in nominal wall-thickness andheavier.1.3 Mechanical property requirements do not apply totubing smaller than18in.3.2 mm in inside diameter or 0.015in.0.38 mm in thickness.NOTE1Additional testing requirements may apply for use in ASMEB31.3 applications.1.4 Optional supplementary requirements are provided and,when one or more of these are desired,each shall be so statedin the order.1.5 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded separately as standard.Within the text,SIunits are shown in brackets.The values stated in each systemmay not be exact equivalents;therefore,each system shall beused independently of the other.Combining values from thetwo systems may result in non-conformance with the standard.The inch-pound units shall apply unless the“M”designation ofthis specification is specified in the order.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2A262 Practices for Detecting Susceptibility to IntergranularAttack in Austenitic Stainless SteelsA480/A480M Specification for General Requirements forFlat-Rolled Stainless and Heat-Resisting Steel Plate,Sheet,and StripA632 Specification for Seamless and Welded AusteniticStainless Steel Tubing(Small-Diameter)for General Ser-viceA1016/A1016M Specification for General Requirements forFerritic Alloy Steel,Austenitic Alloy Steel,and StainlessSteel TubesE527 Practice for Numbering Metals and Alloys in theUnified Numbering System(UNS)2.2 ASME Piping Code:ASME B31.3 Process Piping32.3 Other Standard:SAE J1086 Practice for Numbering Metals and Alloys(UNS)43.Ordering Information3.1 Orders for material under this specification shouldinclude the following,as required,to describe the desiredmaterial adequately:3.1.1 Quantity(feet,metres,or number of lengths),3.1.2 Name of material(seamless or welded tubes),3.1.3 Grade(Table 1),3.1.4 Size(outside diameter and nominal wall thickness),3.1.5 Length(specific or random),3.1.6 Optional requirements(heat treatment,see Section 6;hydrostatic or nondestructive electric test,see Section 10),3.1.7 Test report required(see Section on Inspection ofSpecification A1016/A1016M),3.1.8 Specification designation,and3.1.9 Special requirements and any supplementary require-ments selected.1This 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 Dec.1,2015.Published December 2015.Originallyapproved in 1944.Last previous edition approved in 2015 as A26915.DOI:10.1520/A0269_A0269M-15A.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 Society of Mechanical Engineers(ASME),ASMEInternational Headquarters,Two Park Ave.,New York,NY 10016-5990,http:/www.asme.org.4Available from Society of Automotive Engineers(SAE),400 CommonwealthDr.,Warrendale,PA 15096-0001,http:/www.sae.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 States1 TABLE 1 Chemical RequirementsC%GradeComposition,%TP201TP201LNTP304TP304LTP304LNTP316TP316LTP316LNTP.TP317.TP321TP347TP348TPXM-10TPXM-11TPXM-15TPXM-19UNSDesignationAS20100S20153S30400S30403S30453S3160031603S31653S31655S31700S31730S32100S34700S34800S21900S21904S38100S20910Carbon0.150.030.080.035B0.035B0.080.035B0.035B0.0300.080.0300.080.080.080.080.040.080.06Manganese5.57.56.47.52.002.002.002.002.002.002.002.002.002.002.002.008.0010.008.0010.002.004.06.0Phosphorus0.0600.0450.0450.0450.0450.0450.0450.0450.0450.0450.0400.0450.0450.0450.0450.0450.0300.045Sulfur0.0300.0150.0300.0300.0300.0300.0300.0300.0150.0300.0100.0300.0300.0300.0300.0300.0300.030Silicon1.000.751.001.001.001.001.001.001.001.001.001.001.001.001.001.001.502.501.00Nickel3.55.54.05.08.011.08.012.08.011.010.014.010.015.010.013.08.09.511.015.015.016.59.012.09.012.09.012.05.5
