oovrea 1.4 Control of SSC
4.4.4, SSC maybe controlled by «ny oralto! the folowing
meaeures:
(1) using the meterials and processes descibed In this
standard,
(2) controling the environment, oF
(2) sotating tho components from the our environment
Motels susceptible to SSC have been used successtuly
by contaling diling or workover fuid properties, during
Gilling and workover operations, respectively.
4.5. Metalkc matevais have been includedin this stnderd as
acceptable materials based on theie resistance {o SSC either

the standard may not perform as well in SSC tests as newer
_xmateriels that have been excluded on.the basis of lboratory

Materials’ performance in the field may be diferent from that
Indicated by laboratory'testing. To aid the user of this stan-
ard, those materials that were included in the original editioo
(4R0175-75) are noted in the index.
Materials included in this standard are resistamt to, but not
necessarily immune to, SSC under all service conditions.
1.5.1. The acceptable materials and manufacturing pro-
cesses listed in Sections 3 through 11 should give satis-
factory resistance to SSC in sour environments when the
‘materials are: (1) manutactured to the heat treatment and
‘mechanical properties specified, and (2) used under the
conditions specified.
1.6 Provedures for the Addition of New Materials or Processes,

1.7 Hardness Requirements
1.7.1. The relationship ameng SSC, heat resiment, and
hardness has been documented by laboratory and field
service data. Because hardness testing is nondesiruc-
tive, fs usod by manulacturers as & qualdy control
method and by usere as afield inspection method. Accu-
rate hardness testing requires strict compliance with the
methods described in appropriale ASTM standards.
1.7.2 Sutficiort hardness tests should be made to estab-
High the actual hardness of the material or component
‘being examined. Individual hardness readings exceeding
the value permitted by this standard can be considered
‘acceptable ifthe average of several readings taken within
close proximity does not violate the valve permitted by
this standard and no indwvidual reading is greater than 2
Rockwell C hardness scale (HRC) units above the ac
ceptable value. The number andlocation oftestareas are
outside the scope of this standard.
41.7.3 The HRC scele is referred to throughout this stan-
dard. Hardness values measured by HAC shall be the-
primary basis for acceptance. When warranted, Erinell
(HB) oF other hardness scales may be used. When
applicable, hardness conversions shallbe made in accor-
‘dance with the latest edition of ASTM E 140 Standard
Hardness Conversion Table for Metals, Microhardness.
acceptance criteria are considered outside he scope of
this standard,
1.8 Materials Handling
1.8.1. Although this standard covers mate
{or sour service, His not fo be construed as implying that
‘products conforming to these requirements willbe resis
tant to SSC in sour environments under all conitions.
Improper design, manufacturing, installation, or handling

‘specilic materials for use on the basis of operaiing conditions
that include pressure, temperature, corrosiveness, fluid prop
