This document outlines standards and requirements for numbering metals and alloys using the Unified Numbering System (UNS). It discusses relevant ANSI, ASME, and AWS standards for pipe threads, welded steel pipe, stainless steel pipe, boiler and pressure vessel codes, and corrosion-resistant welding rods. The document specifies terminology, ordering information, general requirements, materials and manufacturing processes, heat treatment, chemical composition, and product analysis for pipes produced to these standards.

E527 Practice for Numbering Metals and Alloys in the
Unified Numbering System (UNS)
2.2 ANSI Standards:4 B1.20.1 Pipe Threads, General Purpose B36.10 Welded and Seamless Wrought Steel Pipe B36.19 Stainless Steel Pipe 2.3 ASME Standard: ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code : Section VIII5 2.4 AWS Standard: A5.9 Corrosion-Resisting Chromium and Chromium-Nickel Steel Welding Rods and Electrodes6 2.5 Other Standard: SAE J1086 Practice for Numbering Metals and Alloys (UNS)7 3. Terminology 3.1 Definitions: 3.1.1 The definitions in Specification A999/A999M and Terminology A941 are applicable to this specification. 4. Ordering Information 4.1 Orders for material to this specification shall conform to the requirements of the current edition of Specification A999/ A999M. 5. General Requirements 5.1 Material furnished under this specification shall conform to the applicable requirements of the current edition of Specification A999/A999M unless otherwise provided herein. 5.2 Heat Treatment: 5.2.1 All pipe shall be furnished in the heattreated condition
in accordance with the requirements of Table 2. The
heattreatment procedure, except for H grades, S30815, S31035, S31272, S31254, S32654, N08020, N08367, N08904, N08925, and N08926 shall consist of heating the pipe to a minimum temperature of 1900 F [1040 C] and quenching in water or rapidly cooling by other means. 6. Materials and Manufacture 6.1 Manufacture: 6.1.1 The pipe shall be manufactured by one of the following processes: 6.1.2 Seamless (SML) pipe shall be made by a process that does not involve welding at any stage of production. 6.1.3 Welded (WLD) pipe shall be made using an automatic welding process with no addition of filler metal during the welding process. 6.1.4 Heavily cold-worked (HCW) pipe shall be made by applying cold working of not less than 35 % reduction in thickness of both wall and weld to a welded pipe prior to the final anneal. No filler shall be used in making the weld. Prior to cold working, the weld shall be 100 % radiographically inspected in accordance with the requirements of ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section VIII, Division 1, latest revision, Paragraph UW-51. 6.1.5 Welded pipe and HCW pipe of NPS 14 and smaller shall have a single longitudinal weld. Welded pipe and HCW pipe of a size larger than NPS 14 shall have a single longitudinal weld or shall be produced by forming and welding two longitudinal sections of flat stock when approved by the
purchaser. All weld tests, examinations, inspections, or treatments
shall be performed on each weld seam. 6.1.6 At the option of the manufacturer, pipe shall be either hot finished or cold finished. 6.1.7 The pipe shall be free of scale and contaminating exogenous iron particles. Pickling, blasting, or surface finishing is not mandatory when pipe is bright annealed. The purchaser is permitted to require that a passivating treatment be applied to the finished pipe. 6.2 Heat TreatmentAll pipe shall be furnished in the heat-treated condition in accordance with the requirements of Table 2. Alternatively, for seamless pipe, immediately following hot forming while the temperature of the pipes is not less than the minimum solution treatment temperature specified in Table 2, pipes shall be individually quenched in water or rapidly cooled by other means (direct quenched). 7. Chemical Composition 7.1 The steel shall conform to the requirements as to chemical composition prescribed in Table 1. 8. Product Analysis 8.1 At the request of the purchaser, an analysis of one billet or one length of flat-rolled stock from each heat, or two pipes from each lot shall be made by the manufacturer. A lot of pipe shall consist of the following number of lengths of
Oxy-Acetylene Welding and Cutting
Electric, Forge and Thermit Welding together with related methods and materials used in metal working and the oxygen process for removal of carbon
