1、Designation: A 334/A 334M 04aStandard Specification forSeamless and Welded Carbon and Alloy-Steel Tubes forLow-Temperature Service1This standard is issued under the fixed designation A 334/A 334M; the number immediately following the designation indicates the yearof original adoption or, in the case

2、 of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.A superscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope*1.1 This specification2covers several grades of minimum-wall-thickness, seamless and welded, c

The values stated in eachsystem are not exact equivalents; therefore, each system mustbe used independently of the

6、other. Combining values from thetwo systems may result in nonconformance with the specifi-cation. The inch-pound units shall apply unless the “M”designation of this specification is specified in the order.2.
