ASTM A790 specifies the requirements for seamless and straight-seam welded ferritic/austenitic duplex stainless steel pipes designed for general corrosive environments. This standard places particular emphasis on resistance to stress corrosion cracking. The pipes must be produced either through seamless methods or automatic welding processes, without the addition of filler metal during welding. Heat analysis is conducted to determine the percentages of specified elements, and various tests—including tension, hardening, flattening, hydrostatic, and nondestructive electric tests—are performed to ensure compliance with the specified requirements.
ASTM A789 addresses stainless steel tubing with average wall thickness or, if specified in the order, minimum wall thickness, intended for applications that require general corrosion resistance. This standard also emphasizes resistance to stress corrosion cracking. It is important to note that these steels can become embrittled if used for extended periods at elevated temperatures.
