3. MATERIAL DATA

3.1 General Requirements

Tubing supplied to this specification shall be manufactured from high quality flat rolled strip, and shall meet the
requirements of ASTM A789, and this specification. Duplex Alloy 2205 stainless steel coil tubing shall be
Laser Beam Welded (LBW) to provide a minimal Heat Affect Zone (HAZ) for improved grain refinement,
and to promote balance in austenite to ferrite phase ratios for corrosion resistance restoration.

3.2 Chemical Composition

The tube material shall conform to the chemical composition limits as detailed in ASTM
A789 for UNS S31803.

3.3 Dimensions

Tube dimension shall meet the following requirements:

Outside Diameter - +/- 0.005” from nominal.
Ovality – 0.005” total
Wall Thickness - +/- 15% of nominal for sizes less than 0.500” diameter
+/- 10% of nominal for sizes greater than 0.500”.
3.4 Heat Treatment

The finished coil2 shall be supplied in the fully annealed condition (temper).

3.5 Mechanical Tests and Requirements

Tensile Test.
A section from each individual coil1 shall be tested to ensure conformance to the
following mechanical properties.

Tensile Strength, min. 110,000 psi

Yield Strength, min. 80,000 psi
Elongation in 2 inch, min. 25%
Rockwell Hardness A C-30.5 max
A
Note: for thickness under 0.050”, the use of Rockwell superficial test is
suggested. Specimen preparation shall be in accordance with ASTM A370, and
test method E8.

 Flattening Test.
A section from one end of each individual coil1 not less than 4 in. long shall be
flattened under a gradual load applied at room temperature until the distance
between the platens is five times the wall thickness, without through wall cracking.
The weld shall be positioned at right angle to the applied force.

Flange Test.
A section from one end of each individual coil1 shall be flanged at right angle to
the body of the tube. The width of flange shall be no less than 15% of tube
diameter and show no signs of through wall cracking.

Reverse Flattening Test.

A 4 inch section from one end of each individual coil1 shall be longitudinally
split 90° on each side of the weld. The section shall be opened and flattened with
the weld at the point of maximum bend. There shall be no evidence of cracks or
lack of penetration or overlaps resulting from flash removal in the weld.

3.6 Nondestructive Test.

Electrical Test.
Each individual coil1 shall be subjected to a non-destructive electric test in
accordance with ASTM A450 and test method E 426.

Nitrogen Test (Functional Test)

Each individual coil1 shall be internally pressurized with nitrogen to a minimum of
200 psig. The coil shall show no evidence of leaks or pressure loss during a 5
minute minimum holding period.

Radiographic Examination (Orbital welds)

When specified by the purchaser, orbital welds shall be subjected to radiographic
examination. Sensitivity of examination shall be sufficient for the detection of lack
of penetration, off-seam weld, and/or harmful porosity.

Hydrostatic Test.

Each finished coil2 shall be tested to an internal hydrostatic test pressure as

specified by the purchaser, or as determined by the following equation. Hold the
test pressure for a minimum of 5 min., release and re-pressurize for 1 min.

P=Ys t / D
Where:
P = hydrostatic test pressure, psi
t = specified wall thickness, in.
D = specified outside diameter, in.
Ys = minimum specified yield strength, psi.

 4. Corrosion Testing
One sample tube from each production heat shall be tested to the requirements of ASTM A923.

5. Material Quality

The material shall be uniform in quality and temper, smooth and free of injurious
seams, laps, or other visual imperfections which due to their nature, will interfere
with the intended use of the material.

6. Material Test Report

The Material Test Report shall state the material was manufactured and tested in accordance with
ASTM A789 and the customer specification where applicable. All applicable test results shall be
reported.

7. Marking

WEBCO name or logo, the alloy, the letters ASTM, the specification number, heat number, class and
nominal size shall be legibly stenciled at intervals on the outside diameter.

8. Packaging

Tubing shall be level wound onto spools that are appropriate for intended use. Tube ends shall be
capped and secured. Finished spools of tubing shall be stretch wrapped and tagged with required
information.

1
A coil at maximum length without orbital welds at finished size.
2
A coil that may contain orbital welds.

Theoretical Internal Burst and Working Pressure for information only. For design and de-rate requirements,
consult the appropriate industry standard or code.

Theoretical burst and working pressure are based on Barlow’s Formula: P= 2ST/D
Where: P = Pressure in psi.
S = Typical tensile strength (110,000 for 2205)
T = Thickness of the tube wall
D = Diameter of the tube
Working pressure = ¼ of burst
For theoretical internal yield pressure, (point of permanent deformation), replace S with Y in the above
formula. Y = Typical yield strength (80,000 for 2205).
