1. Scope
1.1 This specification2 covers minimum-waIl-thickness,
seamless cold-drawn low-carbon steel tubes for tubular heat
exchangers, condensers, and similar heat transfer apparatus.
1.2 This specification covers tubes 1/8 to 3 in. [3.2 to 76.2
mm], inclusive, in outside diameter.
NOTE I-Tubing smaller in outside diameter and having a thinner wall
than indicated in this specification is available. Mechanical property
requirements do not apply to tubing smaller than Vs in. [3.2 nun] in
outside diameter or with a wall thickness under 0.015 in. [0.4 mm].
4. General Requirements
4.1 Material furnished under this specification shall conform to the applicable requirements of the current edition of
Specification A 450/A 450M, unless otherwise provided
herein.
5. Manufacture
5.1 Tubes shall be made by the seamless process and shall
be cold drawn.
6. Heat Treatment
6.1 Tubes shall be heat treated after the final cold draw pass
at a temperature of 1200F [650C] or higher.
7. Surface Condition
