3 Ordering content
The contract or order for ordering according to this Standard shall include the following:
a) Standard number;
b) Product name;
c) Alloy designation;
d) Dimensions (outer diameter×wall thickness, in millimeters);
e) Weight or quantity (total length or pieces);
4.3.1 Alloy tubes and pipes shall be delivered according to actual weight or may be delivered according to theoretical weight. The theoretical weight per meter of alloy tube and pipe is calculated according to formula (1):
Where:
W - The theoretical weight per meter of alloy tube and pipe, in kilograms per meter (kg/m);
π - Pi, 3.1416;
ρ - The alloy density, in kilograms per cubic decimeter (kg/dm3). For the alloy density, see GB/T 15007;
S - The nominal wall thickness of alloy tube and pipe, in millimeters (mm); D - The nominal outer diameter of alloy tube and pipe, in millimeters (mm). 4.3.2 When the alloy tube and pipe are delivered according to the theoretical weight, for hot-extruded (rolled, expanded) seamless tube and pipe, the value calculated according to formula (1) is increased by 15%; for cold-rolled (drawn) seamless tube and pipe, the value calculated according to formula (1) is increased by 10% as the delivery weight.
5 Technical requirements
5.1 Manufacturing method
5.1.1 Smelting method
Unless otherwise specified in the contract, the smelting method of alloy is chosen by the manufacturer itself. When using electric arc furnace smelting, it shall be refined outside the furnace.
5.1.2 Tube-making method
The alloy tube and pipe are manufactured by cold-rolling (drawing), hot- extrusion (rolling, expanding) production process.
5.2 Chemical composition
