4. Ordering Information
4.1 Orders for material under this specification shall include the following, as required, to
describe the desired material adequately:
4.1.1 Quantity (feet, metres, or number of
lengths),
4.1.2 Name of matenal (seamless tubes),
4.1.3 Grade (Table I),
4.1.4 Manufacture (hot-finish or colddrawn),
4.1.5 Size (outside diameter and minimum
wall thickness),
4. I .6 Length (specific or random),
4.1.7 Test reported required (see Certification
Section of Specification A 450/A 450M),
4.1.8 Specification number, and
4.1.9 Special requirements and any supplementary requirements selected.
1. scope
1- 1 This specification' covers several grades of
minimum-wall-thickness, seamless, carbon-molybdenum alloy-steel, boiler and superheater
tubes.
1.2 This specification covers tubes '/2 to 5 in.
[ 12.7 to 127 mm] inclusive, in outside diameter
and 0.035 to 0.500 in. [0.9 to 12.7 mm], inclusive, in minimum wall thickness.
1.3 An optional supplementary requirement
is provided and, when desired, shall be so stated
in the order.
1.4 The values stated in either inch-pound
units or SI units are to be regarded separately as
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 be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in
nonconformance with the specification. The
inch-pound units shall apply unless the "M"
designation of this specification is specified in the
order.
5. Process
5.1 The steel shall be killed steel made by the
electric-furnace, open-hearth, basic-oxygen, or
other primary processes approved by the purchaser. The primary melting may incorporate
separate degassing or refining and may be followed by secondary melting, using electroslag or vacuum-arc remelting. If secondary melting is employed, the heat shall be defined as all
of the ingots remelted from a single primary heat.

6. Manufacture
6.1 Tubes shall be made by the seamless process and shall be either hot finished or cold drawn,
as specified.
7. Heat Treatment
7. I Hot-finished tubes shall be heat treated at
a temperature of 1200F[65o"C] or higher. Colddrawn tubes shall, after the final cold draw pass,
be heat treated at a temperature of 1200F
[65o"C]or higher, or tubing may be furnished in
the full-annealed, isothermal annealed, or normalized and tempered condition. If furnished in
the normalized and tempered condition, the minimum tempering temperature shall be 1200F
[65o"C].
8. Chemical Composition
8.1 The steel shall conform to the requirements as to chemical composition prescribed in
Table 1.

11.1 The material shall conform to the requirements as to tensile properties prescribed in
Table 2.
9. Heat Analysis
9. I An analysis of each heat of steel shall be
made by the steel manufacturer to determine the
percentages of the elements specified. If secondary melting processes are employed, the heat
analysis shall be obtained from one remelted
ingot or the product of one remelted ingot of
each primary melt. The chemical composition
thus determined, or th: determined from a product analysis made by the tubular product manufacturer, shall be reported to the purchaser or the
purchaser's representative and shall conform to
the requirements specified.
12.1 The tubes shall have a hardness not exceeding the values in Table 3.
13. Mechanical Tests Required
10.1 An analysis shall be made by the manufacturer of one billet or one tube from each heat.
The chemical composition thus determined, shall
conform to the requirements specified.
10.2 If the original test for product analysis
fails, retests of two additional billets or tubes shall
be made. Both retests, for the elements in ques-

heat or lot (Note I ) shall be rejected or, at the
option of the producer, each billet or tube may
