This standard is issued under the fixed designation B517; 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 welded, cold-worked, and
annealed nickel-chromium-iron alloy (UNS N06600,
3
N06603,
N06025, and N06045) pipe for general corrosive service and
heat-resisting applications.
1.2 This specification covers outside diameter and nominal
wall pipe shown in ANSI B36.19. Pipe having other dimen-
sions may be furnished provided such pipe complies with all
other requirements of this specification.
1.3 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded
as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical
conversions to SI units that are provided for information only
and are not considered standard.
1.4 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 become familiar
with all hazards including those identified in the appropriate
Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for this product/material
as provided by the manufacturer, to establish appropriate
safety, health, and environmental practices, and determine the
applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
1.5 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.
