Designation: A790/A790M – 11
Standard Specification for
Seamless and Welded Ferritic/Austenitic Stainless Steel
Pipe1
This standard is issued under the fixed designation A790/A790M; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year
of original adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.
A superscript epsilon (´) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.
1. Scope*
1.1 This specification2 covers seamless and straight-seam
welded ferritic/austenitic steel pipe intended for general corro-
sive service, with particular emphasis on resistance to stress
corrosion cracking. These steels are susceptible to embrittle-
ment if used for prolonged periods at elevated temperatures.
1.2 Optional supplementary requirements are provided for
pipe when a greater degree of testing is desired. These
supplementary requirements call for additional tests to be made
and, when desired, one or more of these may be specified in the
order.
1.3 Appendix X1 of this specification lists the dimensions
of welded and seamless stainless steel pipe as shown in ANSI
B36.19. Pipe having other dimensions may be furnished
provided such pipe complies with all other requirements of this
specification.
1.4 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units
are to be regarded separately as standard. Within the text, the
SI units are shown in brackets. The values stated in each
system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system
shall be used independently of the other. Combining values
from the two systems may result in non-conformance with the
standard. The inch-pound units shall apply unless the M
designation of this specification is specified in the order.
NOTE 1—The dimensionless designator NPS (nominal pipe size) has
been substituted in this standard for such traditional terms as nominal
diameter, size, and nominal size.

6.1.3 The pipe shall be pickled free of scale. When bright
annealing is used, pickling is not necessary.
6.2 Discard—A sufficient discard shall be made from each
ingot to secure freedom from injurious piping and undue
segregation.
6.3 Unless otherwise stated in the order, all pipe shall be
furnished in the heat-treated condition as shown in Table 1.
6.3.1 For seamless pipe, as an alternate to final heat treat-
ment in a continuous furnace or batch-type furnace, immedi-
ately following hot forming while the temperature of the pipes
is not less than the specified minimum solution treatment
temperature, pipes shall be individually quenched in water or
rapidly cooled by other means, except for UNS S32950, which
shall be air cooled.
6.3.2 If the purchaser desires pipe without heat treatment
subsequent to welding, the purchase order shall specify the
following condition:
6.3.2.1 No final heat treatment of pipe fabricated from plate
that has been heat treated as required by Table 1 for the
particular grade is required, provided a sample of that heat of
finished pipe or material representative of that heat of pipe as
a prolongation of the weld passes the Test Methods A923
Method B or C (See Note 2), including base metal, weld metal,
and heat affected zone per heat. Each pipe supplied under this
requirement shall be stenciled with the suffix “HT-O.”
6.3.2.2 For materials not listed in Table 3 of Test Methods
A923, the HT-O provision does not apply.
NOTE 2—The Test Methods A923 test method (B or C) is at the
manufacturer’s option, unless otherwise specified by the purchaser.
7. Chemical Composition
7.1 The steel shall conform to the chemical requirements as
prescribed in Table 2.
8. Heat Analysis
8.1 An analysis of each heat of steel shall be made by the
steel manufacturer to determine the percentages of the ele-
ments specified.
9. Product Analysis
9.1 At the request of the purchaser’s inspector, an analysis
of one billet or one length of flat-rolled stock from each heat,
or two pipes from each lot, shall be made by the manufacturer.
A lot of pipe shall consist of the following number of lengths
of the same size and wall thickness from any one heat of steel:
NPS Designator Lengths of Pipe in Lot
Under 2 400 or fraction thereof
2 to 5, incl 200 or fraction thereof
6 and over 100 or fraction thereof
9.2 The results of these analyses shall be reported to the
purchaser or the purchaser’s representative and shall conform
to the requirements specified in Section 7.
9.3 If the analysis of one of the tests specified in 8.1 or 9.1
does not conform to the requirements specified in Section 7, an

NOTE 3—This value applies when the inch-pound designation of this
specification is the basis of purchase. When the M designation of this
specification is the basis of purchase, the corresponding metric value(s)
shall be agreed upon between the manufacturer and purchaser.
11.1.2 If definite cut lengths are desired, the lengths re-
quired shall be specified in the order. No pipe shall be less than
the specified length and no more than 1⁄4 in. [6 mm] over it.
11.1.3 No jointers are permitted unless otherwise specified.
12. Workmanship, Finish, and Appearance
12.1 The finished pipes shall be reasonably straight and
shall have a workmanlike finish. Imperfections may be re-
moved by grinding, provided the wall thicknesses are not
decreased to less than that permitted, in the Permissible
Variations in Wall Thickness Section of Specification A999/
A999M.
13. Mechanical Tests Required
13.1 Transverse or Longitudinal Tension Test—One tension
test shall be made on a specimen for lots of not more than 100
pipes. Tension tests shall be made on specimens from 2 pipes
for lots of more than 100 pipes.
13.2 Mechanical Testing Lot Definition —The term lot for
mechanical tests applies to all pipe of the same nominal size
and wall thickness (or schedule) that is produced from the same
heat of steel and subjected to the same finishing treatment as
defined as follows:
13.2.1 Where the heat treated condition is obtained, consis-
tent with the requirements of 6.3, in a continuous heat
treatment furnace or by directly obtaining the heat treated
condition by quenching after hot forming, the lot shall include
all pipe of the same size and heat, heat treated in the same
furnace at the same temperature, time at heat, and furnace
speed or all pipe of the same size and heat, hot formed and
quenched in the same production run.
13.2.2 Where final heat treatment is obtained, consistent
with the requirements of 6.3, in a batch-type heat-treatment
furnace equipped with recording pyrometers and automatically
controlled within a 50 °F [30 °C] or smaller range, the lot shall
be the larger of (a) each 200 ft [60 m] or fraction thereof or (b)
that pipe heat treated in the same batch furnace charge.
13.2.3 Where the final heat treatment is obtained, consistent
with the requirements of 6.3, in a batch-type heat-treatment
furnace not equipped with recording pyrometers and automati-
cally controlled within a 50 °F [30 °C] or smaller range, the
term lot for mechanical tests applies to the pipe heat treated in
the same batch furnace charge, provided that such pipe is of the
same nominal size and wall thickness (or schedule) and is
produced from the same heat of steel.
13.3 Flattening Test—For pipe heat treated in a batch-type
furnace, flattening tests shall be made on 5 % of the pipe from
each heat-treated lot. For pipe heat treated by the continuous
process, or by direct quenching after hot forming, this test shall
be made on a sufficient number of pipes to constitute 5 % of the
lot, but in no case less than two lengths of pipe.
13.3.1 For welded pipe with a diameter equal to or exceed-
ing NPS 10, a transverse guided face bend test of the weld may
be conducted instead of a flattening test in accordance with the
method outlined in the steel tubular product supplement of Test
Methods and Definitions A370. The ductility of the weld shall
be considered acceptable when there is no evidence of cracks
in the weld or between the weld and the base metal after
bending. Test specimens from 5 % of the lot shall be taken
from the pipes or test plates of the same material as the pipe,
the test plates being attached to the end of the cylinder and
welded as a prolongation of the pipe longitudinal seam.
13.4 Hardness Test—Brinell or Rockwell hardness tests
shall be made on specimens from two pipes from each lot (see
13.2).
14. Hydrostatic or Nondestructive Electric Test
14.1 Each pipe shall be subjected to the nondestructive
electric test or the hydrostatic test. The type of test to be used
shall be at the option of the manufacturer, unless otherwise
specified in the purchase order.
14.2 The hydrostatic test shall be in accordance with Speci-
fication A999/A999M, except that the value for S to be used in
the calculation of the hydrostatic test pressure shall be equal to
50 % of the specif
