Designation: A836/A836M −14 (Reapproved 2020)
Standard Specification for
Titanium-Stabilized Carbon Steel Forgings for Glass-Lined
Piping and Pressure Vessel Service
1
This standard is issued under the fixed designation A836/A836M; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year
of original adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.
A superscript epsilon (´) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.
1. Scope
1.1 This specification covers nonstandard as-forged fittings,
valve components, and parts for glass-lined piping and pres-
sure vessel service. Mechanical properties are certified on the
basis of test material subjected to heat treatments to simulate
glass-coating operations.
1.2 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 specifi-
cation. The inch-pound units shall apply unless the “M”
designation of this specification is specified in the order.
1.3 This international standard was developed in accor-
dance with internationally recognized principles on standard-
ization established in the Decision on Principles for the
Development of International Standards, Guides and Recom-
mendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical
Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.

3. Ordering Information
3.1 Product furnished to this specification shall conform to
the requirements of Specification A961/A961M, including any
supplementary requirements that are indicated in the purchase
order. Failure to comply with the requirements of Specification
A961/A961M constitutes non-conformance with this specifi-
cation.
3.2 It is the purchaser’s responsibility to specify in the
purchase order all ordering information necessary to purchase
the needed material. Examples of such information include but
are not limited to the ordering information in Specification
A961/A961M and the following:
3.2.1 Supplementary requirements, and
3.2.2 Additional requirements (see 11.1,13.1, and 13.2).
3.3 If the requirements of this specification are in conflict
with the requirements of Specification A961/A961M, the
requirements of this specification shall prevail.
4. Materials and Manufacture
4.1 The material shall be forged by hammering, pressing,
rolling, extruding, or upsetting, such that the finished product
will be a forging as defined in the Terminology Section of
Specification A788/A788M.
4.2 When specified in the order, the manufacturer shall
submit for approval by the purchaser a sketch showing the
shape of the rough forging before machining.
4.3 Forgings shall be protected against sudden or too rapid
cooling from the rolling or forging while passing through the
critical range.
4.4 Heat treatment of forgings is neither required nor
prohibited. However, the test material for qualifying the
forging or the welding procedure shall be heat treated to
simulate glass-coating operations.
5. Chemical Composition
5.1 An analysis of each heat shall be made by the manufac-
turer to determine the percentages of the elements specified in
Table 1. The chemical composition thus determined shall
conform to the requirements in Table 1.
6. Mechanical Properties
6.1 The test material shall conform to the requirements as to
tensile properties prescribed in Table 2.
