Plate, Sheet, and Strip
1. Scope
1 .1 This specification covers rolled nickel-iron-chromium-
molybdenum alloy (UNS N08320) plate, sheet, and strip, for
use in general corrosive service.
1 .2 The following products are covered under this specifi-
cation:
1 .2.1 Sheet and Strip—Hot or cold rolled, solution annealed,
and descaled unless solution anneal is performed in an atmo-
sphere yielding a bright finish.
1 .2.2 Plate—Hot rolled, solution annealed, and descaled.
1 .3 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded
as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical
conversions to SI units that are provided for information only
and are not considered standard.
1 .4 This standard does not purport to address all of the
safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the
responsibility of the user of this standard to become familiar
with all hazards including those identified in the appropriate
Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for this product/material
as provided by the manufacturer, to establish appropriate
safety and health practices, and determine the applicability of
regulatory limitations prior to use.

8. Tensile Requirements 12. Retests

8.1 The tensile properties of the pipe, in the condition
specified, shall conform to the room temperature requirements
of Table 5. Mechanical properties for other conditions may be
established by written agreement between the manufacturer
and the purchaser.
9. Permissible Variations in Dimensions

American National Standard for Stainless Steel Pipe (ANSI/
ASME B36.1 9M-1 985) reproduced as Table 2 shall apply.
1 2.1 If the chemical or mechanical test results of any lot are
not in conformance with the requirements of this specification,
the lot may be retested at the option of the manufacturer. The
frequency of the retest will be double the initial number of
tests. If the results of the retest conform to the specification,
then the retest values will become the test values for certifica-
tion. Only original conforming test results or conforming retest
results shall be reported to the purchaser. If the results for the
retest fail to conform to the specification, the material will be
rejected in accordance with Section 20.
