Designation: B234 −17 Used in USNRC-RDT standards
Standard Speciﬁcation for
Aluminum and Aluminum-Alloy Drawn Seamless Tubes for
Surface Condensers, Evaporators, and Heat Exchangers
1
This standard is issued under the ﬁxed designation B234; 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
2
covers aluminum-alloy (Note 1)
drawn seamless round tube in straight lengths designated as
shown in Table 2, for use in surface condensers, evaporators,
and heat exchangers.
NOTE 1—Throughout this speciﬁcation use of the term alloy in the
general sense includes aluminum as well as aluminum alloy.
NOTE 2—For drawn seamless tubes used in general applications, see
Speciﬁcations B210 and B210M; for extruded tubes see Speciﬁcations
B221 and B221M; for seamless pipe and seamless extruded tube used in
pressure applications see Speciﬁcation B241/B241M; and for structural
pipe and tube see Speciﬁcation B429/B429M.
1.2 Alloy and temper designations are in accordance with
ANSI H35.1/H35.1(M). The equivalent Uniﬁed Numbering
System alloy designations are those of Table 1 preceded by A9,
for example, A91060 for aluminum 1060, in accordance with
Practice E527.
1.3 For acceptance criteria for inclusion of new aluminum
and aluminum alloys in this speciﬁcation, see Annex A2.
1.4 This speciﬁcation is the inch-pound companion to
Speciﬁcation B234M; therefore, no SI equivalents are pre-
sented in the speciﬁcation.
1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of the
safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the
responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-
priate safety, health, and environmental practices and deter-
mine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
1.6 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.

Limits are in percent maximum unless shown as a range or otherwise stated.

Analysis shall be made for the elements for which limits are shown in this table.

For purposes of determining conformance to these limits, an observed value or a calculated value attained from analysis shall be rounded to the nearest unit in the last

right-hand place of ﬁgures used in expressing the speciﬁed limit, in accordance with the rounding-off method of Practice E29.

Others includes listed elements for which no speciﬁc limit is shown as well as unlisted metallic elements. The producer may analyze samples for trace elements not

speciﬁed in this speciﬁcation. However, such analysis is not required and may not cover all metallic Others elements. Should any analysis by the producer or the purchaser

establish that an Others element exceeds the limit of Each or that the aggregate of several Others elements exceeds the limit of Total, the material shall be considered

nonconforming.

Other Elements—Total shall be the sum of unspeciﬁed metallic elements 0.010 % or more, rounded to the second decimal before determining the sum.

Vanadium 0.05 max.

The aluminum content shall be calculated by subtracting from 100.00 % the sum of all the metallic elements present in amounts of 0.010 % or more, rounded to the

second decimal before determining the sum.

Composition of cladding alloy as applied during the course of manufacture. The sample from ﬁnished tube shall not be required to conform to these limits.

In case there is a discrepancy in the values listed in Table 1 with those listed in the “International Alloy Designations and Chemical Composition Limits for Wrought

Aluminum and Wrought Aluminum Alloys” (known as the “Teal Sheets”), the composition limits registered with the Aluminum Association and published in the “Teal Sheets”

shall be considered the controlling composition. The “Teal Sheets” are available at http://www.aluminum.org/tealsheets.

To determine conformance to this speciﬁcation, each value for ultimate strength and for yield strength shall be rounded to the nearest 0.1 ksi and each value for elongation

to the nearest 0.5 %, both in accordance with the rounding-off method of Practice E29.

consist of an identiﬁable quantity of material of the same mill
form, alloy, temper, and thickness subjected to inspection at
one time.
7. Chemical Composition
7.1 Limits—The tube shall conform to the chemical compo-
sition limits in Table 1. Conformance shall be determined by
the producer by taking samples in accordance with E716 when
the ingots are poured and analyzing those samples in accor-
dance with in accordance with Test Methods E607,E1251,
E3061, or EN 14242. At least one sample shall be taken for
each group of ingots poured simultaneously from the same
source of molten metal. If the producer has determined the
chemical composition of the material during the course of
manufacture, he shall not be required to sample and analyze the
ﬁnished product.
