Designation:A409/A409M15Standard Specification forWelded Large Diameter Austenitic Steel Pipe for Corrosiveor High-Temperature Service1This standard is issued under the fixed designation A409/A409M;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 specification2covers straight seam or spiral seamelectric-fusion-welded,light-wall,austenitic chromium-nickelalloy steel pipe for corrosive or high-temperature service.Thesizes covered are NPS 14 to 30 with extra light(Schedule 5S)and light(Schedule 10S)wall thicknesses.Table X1.1 showsthe wall thickness of Schedule 5S and 10S pipe.Pipe havingother dimensions may be furnished provided such pipe com-plies with all other requirements of this specification.1.2 Several grades of alloy steel are covered as indicated inTable 1.1.3 Optional supplementary requirements are provided.These call for additional tests to be made,and when desiredshall be stated in the order,together with the number of suchtests required.1.4 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.NOTE1The dimensionless designator NPS(nominal pipe size)hasbeen substituted in this standard for such traditional terms as nominaldiameter,size,and nominal size.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:3A262 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 StripA999/A999M Specification for General Requirements forAlloy and Stainless Steel PipeE527 Practice for Numbering Metals and Alloys in theUnified Numbering System(UNS)2.2 ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code:Section IX42.3 AWS Standards:5A 5.22 Flux Cored Arc WeldingA 5.30 Consumable Weld Inserts for Gas Tungsten ArcWeldingA 5.4 Corrosion-Resisting Chromium and Chromium-Nickel Steel Covered Welding ElectrodesA 5.9Corrosion-Resisting Chromium and Chromium-Nickel Steel Welding Rods and Bare ElectrodesA 5.11 Nickel and Nickel-Alloy Covered Welding Elec-trodesA 5.14 Nickel and Nickel-Alloy Bare Welding Rods andElectrodes2.4 Other Standard:SAE J1086 Practice for Numbering Metals and Alloys(UNS)63.Ordering Information3.1 Orders for material to this specification should includethe following,as required,to describe the desired materialadequately:3.1.1 Quantity(feet,centimetres,or number of lengths),3.1.2 Name of material(straight seam or spiral seamelectric-fusion-welded austenitic steel pipe),3.1.3 Grade(Table 1),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 March 1,2015.Published March 2015.Originallyapproved in 1957.Last previous edition approved in 2014 as A409/A409M 14.DOI:10.1520/A0409_A0409M-15.2For ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code applications see related Specifi-cation SA-409 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 Society of Mechanical Engineers(ASME),ASMEInternational Headquarters,Two Park Ave.,New York,NY 10016-5990,http:/www.asme.org.5Available from American Welding Society(AWS),550 NW LeJeune Rd.,Miami,FL 33126,http:/www.aws.org.6Available 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 3.1.4 Size(outside diameter and schedule number,or wallthickness).3.1.5 Length(specific or random)(Section 11),3.1.6 End finish(Section on Ends of Specification A999/A999M),3.1.7 Optional requirements(5.2.1 5.2.3 removal of weldbead;5.3.2,special heat treatment;15.2,nondestructive test;10.1.1,outside diameter tolerance;11.2,length circumferen-tially welded;12.3,repair by welding and heat treatmentsubsequent to repair welding;12.4,sand blasted or pickled;17.1 Certification;Supplementary Requirements S1 to S6).3.1.8 Specification designation,and3.1.9 Special requirements.4.General Requirements4
