4. Materials and Manufacture
4.1 Seamless pipe may be made by any seamless method
that will yield a product meeting the requirements of this
specification.
4.2 Welded pipe shall be made from flat-rolled products
by an arc-welding process that will yield a product meeting
the requirements of this specification, Filler metal, if used,
shall be the same grade as the base metal, or the next lower
strength grade for welding Grades 2 and 3. For welding
Grades 7, 9, 10, 11, and 12, the tiller metal, if used, shall be
the same as the grade specified. Welded pipe may be further
reduced.
4.3 The pipe shall be furnished annealed, except for
Grade 9, which may be furnished in either the annealed or
stress-relief annealed condition, and Grade 10, which shall
be solution treated.
5. Chemical Composition
5.1 The titanium shall conform to the chemical require-
ments prescribed in Table 1.
6. Product Analysis
6.1 When requested by the purchaser and stated in the
purchase order, product analysis for any elements listed in
Table 1 shall be made on the finished product.
6.2 The product analysis tolerances, listed in Table 2, do
not broaden the specified heat analysis requirements, but
cover variations between different laboratories in the mea-
surement of chemical content. The manufacturer shall not
ship finished product outside the limits specified in Table 1
for the applicable grade.
7. Tensile Requirements
7.1 The tensile properties of the pipe in the condition
specified at room temperature, shall conform to the require-
ments prescribed in Table 3. Mechanical properties for other
conditions may be established by agreement between the
manufacturer and the purchaser.
8. Bending Test
8.1 Pipe 2 in. (51 mm) and under in nominal diameter,
shall be capable of being bent cold through 90” around a
cylindrical mandrel that is twelve times the nominal diam-
eter of the pipe, without developing cracks.
9. Flattening Test
9.1 Welded or seamless pipe shall be capable of with-
standing, without cracking, flattening under a load applied
