A number in paciheses inate the year of st reappoval ‘Aspect epi (inate an editorial cage ioe the lt revision or reapeoval, This standard has boon approved for use by agencies ofthe Deparment of Defense. 1, Scope" 1.1 This specification? covers forged low alloy and stainless steel piping components for use in pressure systems. Included are flanges, fittings, valves, and similar parts to specified dimensions or to dimensional standards, such as the ASME specifications that are referenced in Section 2. 12 For bars and products machined directly from bar, refer to Specifications A 479/A 479M and A739 for the similar grades available in those specifications. Products made to this spcification are limited to a maximum weight of 10 000 Ib [4540 kg]. For larger products and products for other applica tions, refer to Specification A 336/A 336M for the similar ‘grades available in that specification 13 Several grades of low alloy steels and ferritic, marten- sitic, austenitic, and ferritic-austenitic stainless steels are i cluded in this specification. Selection will depend upon design and service requirements. 14 Supplementary requirements are provided for use when additional testing o inspection is desired. These shall apply only when specified individually by the purchaser in the order. 5 This specification is expressed in both inch-pound units, and in SI units. However, unless the order specifies the applicable “M" specification designation (SI units), the mate- rial shall be furnished to inch-pound units. 1L6 The values stated in either inch-pound units or SI units, are to be regarded separately as the 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 bbe used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in nonconformance with the specifi- cation.
