ASTM A 771/A 771M Seamless and Welded Ferritic/Austenitic Stainless Steel Tubing for General Service
ASTM A 789/A 789M Welded Ferritic Stainless Steel Feedwater Heater Tubes
ASTM A 803/A 803M Austenitic and Ferritic Stainless Steel Duct Tubes for Breeder Reactor Core Components
ASTM A 826 High-Frequency Induction Welded, Unannealed Austenitic Steel Condenser Tubes
ASTM A 851 A These designations refer to the latest issue of the respective specifications.
1.2 In the case of conflict between a requirement of a product specification and a requirement of this general requirements specification, the product specification shall prevail. In
the case of conflict between a requirement of the product specification or a requirement of this general requirements specification and a more stringent requirement of the purchase
order, the purchase order shall prevail.
1.3 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 specification.
The inch-pound units shall apply unless the “M”designation (SI) of the product specification is specified in the order.
