Nondestructive Test Requirements8.1 Hydrostatic TestIf specified in the purchase order,each tube so tested shall withstand without showing bulges,leaks, or other defects, an internal hydrostatic pre

16、ssure that willproduce in the tube wall a stress of 75 % of the minimumspecified yield strength at room temperature. This pressureshall be determined by the equation:P 5 2 St/D (1)where:P = minimum hydrostatic pressure, psi (or MPa),S = allowable fiber stress of 75 % of the minimum yieldstrength, ps

17、i (or MPa),t = average wall thickness of the tube, in. (or mm), andD = outside diameter of the tube in. (or mm).Maintain the test pressure for a minimum of 10 s.8.2 Pneumatic TestIf specified in the purchase order, eachtube so tested shall withstand an internal air pressure of 100 psi(0.7 MPa), mini

18、mum for 5 s, minimum without showingevidence of leakage. The test method used shall permit easyvisual detection of any leakage such as by placing the tubeunder water or by using the pressure differential method. Anyevidence of the leakage shall be cause of rejection of that tube.8.3 Helium Leak Test

19、If specified in the purchase order,each tube shall be tested by evacuating to an internal pressureof 10 3 106torr (1.3 MPa) or less and tested for leakage byspraying helium along the length of the outside surface.Detection of a leak at a rate greater than 10 3 107standardcm3/s shall be cause of reje

20、ction of that tube.8.4 Ultrasonic TestIf specified on the purchase order,each length of tube shall be tested ultrasonically. The testprocedure and calibration standards shall be agreed uponbetween the manufacturer and purchaser. Any tube showing anindication in excess of that obtained from the calib

21、rationstandard shall be set aside and be subject to rework, retest, orrejection. A tube thus set aside may be further examined byother methods for confirmation of the presence of a defect withor without rework; such a tube may be determined acceptableif no other evidence for a defect is found. (Rewo

22、rk by weldrepair is not permitted.)9. Permissible Variations9.1 Diameter and Wall ThicknessThe permissible varia-tions in diameter and wall thickness of tubes specified in thepurchase order shall not exceed those prescribed in Table 3.9.2 LengthWhen tubing is ordered cut to length, theusable length

23、shall be not less than that specified; but avariation of +18 in. (3.2 mm) will be permitted for lengths upto 6 ft (1.8 m). In lengths over 6 ft, a variation of +14 in. (6.4mm) will be permitted, unless otherwise specified.9.3 StraightnessThe tube shall be free of bends or kinksand the maximum unifor

24、m bow shall not exceed values shownin Table 4.9.4 Squareness of CutThe angle of cut of the end of anytube may depart from square by not more than 0.016 in./in.(mm/mm) of diameter.TABLE 1 Ingot Chemical RequirementsElement(Composition, max weight %)R05200 R05400 R05252 R05255 R05240O 0.015 0.030 0.01

Workmanship, Finish, and Appearance10.1 The finished tube shall be clean and free of foreignmaterial, shal

31、l have smooth ends, free of burrs, and shall befree of injurious external and internal imperfections in accor-dance with standards of acceptability agreed upon between themanufacturer and the purchaser. Minor defects may be re-moved provided the dimensional tolerance of Section 9, are notexceeded.11

32、. Retest11.1 If any sample or specimen exhibits obvious surfacecontamination or improper preparation disqualifying it as atruly representative sample, discard it and substitute a newsample or specimen.11.2 In case of failure, retest two additional specimens. Ifboth specimens conform to this specific

33、ation, discard theoriginal values and consider the material acceptable.11.3 If the inspection results of a lot are not in conformancewith the requirements of this specification, the lot may bereworked at the option of the manufacturer. A lot shall beacceptable if results of all tests after reworking

34、 conform to thespecification.12. Significance of Numerical Limits12.1 For the purpose of determining compliance with thespecified limits of property requirements, an observed value ora calculated value shall be rounded in accordance with therounding method of Practice E 29.13. Inspection13.1 The man

35、ufacturer shall inspect the material covered bythe specification prior to shipment.13.2 If so specified on the purchase order, the purchaser orhis representative may witness the testing and inspection of thematerial at the place of manufacture. In such cases, thepurchaser shall state in his purchase

36、 order which tests hedesires to witness. The manufacturer shall give ample notice tothe purchaser as to the time and place of the designated test. Ifthe purchasers representative does not present himself at theagreed-upon time for the testing, and if no new date is agreedupon, the manufacturer shall

37、 consider the requirements forpurchasers inspection at the place of manufacturer to bewaived. When the inspector representing the purchaser doesappear at the appointed time and place, the manufacturer shallafford him all reasonable facilities to see that the material isbeing furnished in accordance

38、with this specification. Thisinspection shall be conducted so as not to interfere unneces-sarily with production operations.14. Rejection and Rehearing14.1 Material that fails to conform to the requirements ofthis specification may be rejected. Rejection shall be reportedto the producer or supplier

39、promptly and in writing. In case ofdissatisfaction with the results of the test, the producer orsupplier may make claim for a rehearing.15. Referee15.1 In the event of disagreement between the manufacturerand the purchaser of the conformance of the material to therequirements of this specification o

40、r any special test specifiedby the purchaser, a mutually acceptable referee shall performthe tests in question. The results of the referees testing shall beused in determining conformance of the material to thisspecification.16. Certification16.1 When specified in the purchase order or contract, apr

41、oducers or suppliers certification shall be furnished to thepurchaser that the material was manufactured, sampled, tested,and inspected in accordance with this specification and hasbeen found to meet the requirements. When specified in thepurchase order or contract, a report of the test results shal

42、l befurnished.17. Packaging and Package Marking17.1 Each bundle, box, or carton shall be marked or taggedlegibly and conspicuously with the number of this specifica-tion, purchase order number, nominal size, and the gross, net,and tare weights.17.2 All material shall be packed in such a manner as to
