ASTM A789 / A789M – 17: Standard Specification for Seamless and Welded Ferritic/Austenitic Stainless Steel Tubing for General Service
ASTM A789 / A789M – 17
Standard Specification for Seamless and Welded Ferritic/Austenitic Stainless Steel Tubing for General Service
1. Scope
1.1 This specification2 covers grades of nominal wall thickness, stainless steel tubing for services requiring general corrosion resistance, with particular emphasis on resistance to stress corrosion cracking. These steels are susceptible to embrittlement if used for prolonged periods at elevated temperatures.
1.2 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 of this specification is specified in the order.
2. Ordering Information
2.1 Orders for product under this specification should include the following, as required, to describe the desired material adequately:
2.1.1 Quantity (feet, metres, or number of lengths),
2.1.2 Name of product (seamless or welded tubes),
2.1.3 Grade (see Table 1),
2.1.4 Size (outside diameter and nominal wall thickness),
2.1.5 Length (specific or random),
2.1.6 Optional requirements (for product analysis, see Section
8; for hydrostatic or nondestructive electric test, see Section 10),
2.1.7 Test report required (see the Inspection section of
Specification A 1016/A 1016M),
2.1.8 Specification designation, and
2.1.9 Special requirements.
3. General Requirements
3.1 Product furnished under this specification shall conform to the applicable requirements of Specification A 1016/A 1016M, unless otherwise provided herein.

A When tubes as ordered require wall thicknesses 3⁄4 in. [19 mm] or over, or an inside diameter 60 % or less of the outside diameter, a wider variation in wall thickness is required. On such sizes a variation in wall thickness of 12.5 % over or under will be permitted.
For tubes less than 1⁄2 in. [12.7 mm] in inside diameter that cannot be successfully drawn over a mandrel, the wall thickness may vary 615 % from that specified.
B These tolerances apply to cut lengths up to and including 24 ft [7.3 m]. For lengths greater than 24 ft [7.3 m], the above over-tolerances shall be increased by 1⁄8 in.
[3 mm] for each 10 ft [3 m] or fraction thereof over 24 ft or 1⁄2 in. [13 mm], whichever is the lesser.
C Ovality provisions of 12.2 apply.
