Designation:A691/A691M09(Reapproved 2014)Standard Specification forCarbon and Alloy Steel Pipe,Electric-Fusion-Welded forHigh-Pressure Service at High Temperatures1This standard is issued under the fixed designation A691/A691M;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 carbon and alloy steel pipe,electric-fusion-welded with filler metal added,fabricated frompressure-vessel-quality plate of several analyses and strengthlevels and suitable for high-pressure service at high tempera-tures.Heat treatment may or may not be required to attain thedesired mechanical properties or to comply with applicablecode requirements.Supplementary requirements are providedfor use when additional testing or examination is desired.1.2 The specification nominally covers pipe 16 in.400mm in outside diameter and larger with wall thicknesses up to3 in.75 mm inclusive.Pipe having other dimensions may befurnished provided it complies with all other requirements ofthis specification.1.3 Several grades and classes of pipe are provided.1.3.1 Grade designates the type of plate used as listed inTable 1.1.3.2 Class designates the type of heat treatment performedin the manufacture of the pipe,whether the weld is radio-graphically examined,and whether the pipe has been pressuretested as listed in 1.3.3.1.3.3 Class designations are as follows(Note 1):ClassHeat Treatment on PipeRadiography,see SectionPressure Test,see Section10nonenonenone11none9none12none98.313nonenone8.320stress relieved,see 5.3.1nonenone21stress relieved,see 5.3.19none22stress relieved,see 5.3.198.323stress relieved,see 5.3.1none8.330normalized,see 5.3.2nonenone31normalized,see 5.3.29none32normalized,see 5.3.298.333normalized,see 5.3.2none8.340normalized and tempered,see 5.3.3nonenone41normalized and tempered,see 5.3.39none42normalized and tempered,see 5.3.398.343normalized and tempered,see 5.3.3none8.350quenched and tempered,see 5.3.4nonenone51quenched and tempered,see 5.3.49none52quenched and tempered,see 5.3.498.353quenched and tempered,see 5.3.4none8.3NOTE1Selection of materials should be made with attention totemperature of service.For such guidance,Specification A20/A20M maybe consulted.1.4 Optional requirements of a supplementary nature areprovided,calling for additional tests and control of repairwelding,when desired.1.5 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.1This specification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee A01 on Steel,Stainless Steel and Related Alloys and is the direct responsibility of SubcommitteeA01.09 on Carbon Steel Tubular Products.Current edition approved March 1,2014.Published April 2014.Originallyapproved in 1974.Last previous edition approved in 2009 as A691/A691M 091DOI:10.1520/A0691_A0691M-09R14.2For ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code applications,see related Specifi-cation SA-691 in Section II of that Code.Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United States1Copyright by ASTM Intl(all rights reserved);2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:3A20/A20M Specification for General Requirements for SteelPlates for Pressure VesselsA204/A204M Specification for Pressure Vessel Plates,AlloySteel,MolybdenumA299/A299M Specification for Pressure Vessel Plates,Car-bon Steel,Manganese-SiliconA370 Test Methods and Definitions for Mechanical Testingof Steel ProductsA387/A387M Specification for Pressure Vessel Plates,AlloySteel,Chromium-MolybdenumA435/A435M Specification for Straight-Beam UltrasonicExamination of Steel PlatesA530/A530M Specification for General Requirements forSpecialized Carbon and Alloy Steel PipeA537/A537M Specification for Pressure Vessel Plates,Heat-Treated,Carbon-Manganese-Silicon SteelE165 Practice for Liquid Penetrant Examination for GeneralIndustryE709 Guide for Magnetic Particle Testing2.2 ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code:4Section IISection IIISection VIIISection IX3.Terminology3.1 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:3.1.1 A lot shall consist of 200 ft 60 m or fraction thereofof pipe from the same heat of steel.3.1.1.1 The description of a lot may be further restricted byuse of Supplementary Requirement S12.4.Ordering Information4.1 The inquiry and order for material under this specifica-tion should include the following information:4.1.1 Quantity(feet,metres,
