Mechanical Tests Required:
(1) Flattening Test—One flattening test shall be made on specimens from each of two tubes from each lot or fraction thereof.
(2) Flaring Test—One flaring test shall be made on speci- mens from each of two tubes from each lot or fraction thereof.
(3) Flange Test—When specified as a substitute for the flaring test, for tubes having a wall thickness (actual mean wall) less than 10 % of the outside diameter, one test shall be made on specimens from each of two tubes
(4) Hardness Test—Rockwell hardness tests shall be made on specimens from two tubes from each lot.
(5) Hydrostatic Test—Each tube shall be subjected to the hydrostatic test, or a nondestructive electric test
Surface Condition:
Finished tubes shall be free of scale. A slight amount of oxidation will not be considered as scale.
Application:
