ASTM B725-18 - 1.4.2018
 
1. Scope

1.1 This specification covers nickel (UNS N02200) and low carbon nickel (UNS N02201 and UNS N04400) in the form of welded and annealed or welded and stress relieved pipe intended for general corrosive service and for mechanical applications.

1.2 This specification covers outside diameter and nominal wall pipe in Schedules 5S, 10S, and 40S through 30-in. nominal pipe size shown in ANSI B36.19 (see Table 1). Pipe having other dimensions may be furnished provided such pipe complies with all other requirements of this specification.

(A) Schedules 5S and 10S wall thicknesses do not permit threading in accordance with ANSI B1.20.1.
(B) These do not conform to ANSI B36.10.

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 The following precautionary caveat pertains only to the test methods portion, Section 12, of this specification: This standard does not purport to address all of the safety problems, 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 Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for this product/material as provided by the manufacturer, to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices, and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

1.5 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
