ASTM A1016 / A1016M - 01a Standard Specification for General Requirements for Ferritic Alloy Steel, Austenitic Alloy Steel, and Stainless Steel Tubes

1. Scope

1.1 This specification covers a group of requirements that, unless otherwise specified in an individual specification, shall apply to the ASTM product specifications noted below.

Title of Specification	ASTM Designation

Seamless Carbon-Molybdenum Alloy-Steel Boiler and Superheater Tubes	A 209/A 209M
Seamless Ferritic and Austenitic Alloy-Steel Boiler, Superheater, and Heat-Exchanger Tubes	A 213/A 213M
Welded Austenitic Steel Boiler, Superheater, Heat-Exchanger, and Condenser Tubes	A 249/A 249M
Electric-Resistance-Welded Ferritic Alloy-Steel Boiler and Superheater Tubes	A 250/A 250M
Seamless and Welded Ferritic and Martensitic Stainless Steel Tubing for General Service	A 268/A 268M
Seamless and Welded Austenitic Stainless Steel Tubing for General Service	A 269
Seamless and Welded Austenitic Stainless Steel Sanitary Tubing	A 270
Seamless and Welded Carbon and Alloy-Steel Tubes for Low-Temperature Service	A 334/A 334M
Seamless and Electric-Welded Low-Alloy Steel Tubes	A 423/A 423M
Welded Austenitic Stainless Steel Feedwater Heater Tubes	A 688/A 688M
Austenitic Stainless Steel Tubing for Breeder Reactor Core Components	A 771
Seamless and Welded Ferritic/Austenitic Stainless Steel Tubing for General Service	A 789/A 789M
Welded Ferritic Stainless Steel Feedwater Heater Tubes	A 803/A 803M
Austenitic and Ferritic Stainless Steel Duct Tubes for Breeder Reactor Core Components	A 826
High-Frequency Induction Welded, Unannealed Austenitic Steel Condenser Tubes	A 851
These designations refer to the latest issue of the respective specifications.

1.2 In the case of conflict between a requirement of a product specification and a requirement of this general requirements specification, the product specification shall prevail. In the case of conflict between a requirement of the product specification or a requirement of this general requirements specification and a more stringent requirement of the purchase order, the purchase order shall prevail.

1.3 The values stated in either inch-pound units or SI units are to be regarded separately as standard. Within the text, the SI units are shown in brackets. The values stated in each system are not exact equivalents; therefore, each System must be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in nonconformance with the specification. The inch-pound units shall apply unless the "M" designation (SI) of the product specification is specified in the order.

2. Referenced Documents (purchase separately) The documents listed below are referenced within the subject standard but are not provided as part of the standard.
