Notes:

1. New designation established in accordance with Practice E 527 and SAE

J1086.
2. Maximum, unless otherwise indicated. Where elipses (...) appear in this
table, there is no requirement and analysis for the element need not be
determined or reported.
3. The method of analysis for Nitrogen shall be a matter of agreement
between the purchaser and manufacturer.
4. For small diameter or thin walls or both, where many drawing passes are
required, a Carbon maximum of 0.040% is necessary in grades TP304L and
TP316L. Small outside diameter tubes are defined as those less than 0.50
in. [12.7 mm] in outside diameter and light wall tubes as those less than
0.049 in. [1.20 mm] in average wall thickness (0.044 in. [1.10 mm] in
minimum wall thickness).
5. For welded TP316, TP316N, TP316LN, and TP316H pipe, the Nickel range
shall be 10.0-14.0%.
6. For welded pipe, the Phosphorus maximum shall be 0.045%.
7. The Titanium content shall be not less than five times the Carbon content
and not more than 0.70%.
8. The Titanium content shall be not less than four times the Carbon content
and not more than 0.60%.
9. The Niobium content shall be not less than ten times the Carbon content
and not more than 1.0%.
10. The Niobium content shall be not less than eight times the Carbon content
and not more than 1.0%.
11. Grade S34751 shall have a Niobium plus Tantalum content of not less than
15 times the Carbon content.

Notes:

1. Maximum, unless otherwise indicated.

2. The method of analysis for Nitrogen shall be a matter of agreement
between the purchaser and manufacturer.
3. Niobium 0.10-0.30%; Vanadium, 0.10-0.30%.
4. For small diameter or thin walls, or both, where many drawing passes are
required, a Carbon maximum of 0.040% is necessary in grades TP304L and
TP316L. Small outside diameter tubes are defined as those less than 0.50
in. [12.7 mm] in outside diameter and light wall tubes as those less than
0.049 in. [1.24 mm] in average wall thickness.
5. On pierced tubing, the Nickel may be 11.0-16.0%.
6. 5X(C+N2)-0.70.
7. 4X(C+N2)-0.70.
8. The Niobium content shall be not less than ten times the Carbon content
and not more than 1.10%.
9. The Niobium content shall be not less than eight times the Carbon content
and not more than 1.10%.
