Designation: A 789/A 789M 02a
Standard Specication for

Seamless and Welded Ferritic/Austenitic Stainless Steel
Tubing for General Service
1
This standard is issued under the xed designation A 789/A 789M; 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 (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.
1. Scope *
1.1 This specication
2
covers grades of nominal wall thick-
ness, stainless steel tubing for services requiring general
corrosion resistance, with particular emphasis on resistance to
stress corrosion cracking. These steels are susceptible to
embrittlement if used for prolonged periods at elevated tem-
peratures.
NOTE 1For tubing smaller than
1
2 in. [12.7 mm] in outside diameter,
the elongation values given for strip specimens in Table 1 shall apply.
Mechanical property requirements do not apply to tubing smaller than
1
8 in. [3.2 mm] in outside diameter or with walls thinner than 0.015 in.
[0.4 mm].
1.2 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 speci-
cation. The inch-pound units shall apply unless the M desig-
nation of this specication is specied in the order.

4. General Requirements
4.1 product furnished under this specication shall conform
to the applicable requirements of Specication A 1016/
A 1016M, unless otherwise provided herein.
5. Manufacture
5.1 The tubes shall be made by the seamless or welded
process with no ller metal added.
6. Heat Treatment
6.1 All tubes shall be furnished in the heat-treated condition
in accordance with the procedures shown in Table 3. For
seamless tubes, as an alternate to nal heat treatment in a
continuous furnace or batch-type furnace, immediately follow-
ing hot forming while the temperature of the tubes is not less
than the specied minimum solution treatment temperature,
tubes may be individually quenched in water or rapidly cooled
by other means.
7. Chemical Composition
7.1 The steel shall conform to the chemical requirements
prescribed in Table 2.
8. Product Analysis
8.1 An analysis of either one billet or one length of
at-rolled stock or one tube shall be made from each heat. The
chemical composition thus determined shall conform to the
requirements specied.
8.2 A product analysis tolerance of Table labeled A1.1 in
Specication A 480/A 480M shall apply. The product analysis
tolerance is not applicable to the carbon content for material
with a specied maximum carbon of 0.04 % or less.
8.3 If the original test for product analysis fails, retests of
two additional billets, lengths of at-rolled stock, or tubes shall
be made. Both retests for the elements in question shall meet
the requirements of this specication; otherwise, all remaining
material in the heat shall be rejected or, at the option of the
producer, each billet or tube may be individually tested for
acceptance. Billets, lengths of at-rolled stock, or tubes that do
not meet the requirements of this specication shall be re-
jected.
NOTE 2For ange and aring requirements, the term lot applies to all
tubes prior to cutting of the same nominal size and wall thickness that are
produced from the same heat of steel. When nal heat treatment is in a
batch-type furnace, a lot shall include only those tubes of the same size
and from the same heat that are heat treated in the same furnace charge.
When the nal heat treatment is in a continuous furnace, or when heat

treated condition is obtained directly by quenching after hot forming, the
number of tubes of the same size and from the same heat in a lot shall be
determined from the size of the tubes as prescribed in Table 4.
NOTE 3For tension and hardness test requirements, the term lot
applies to all tubes prior to cutting, of the same nominal diameter and wall
thickness that are produced from the same heat of steel. When nal heat
treatment is in a batch-type furnace, a lot shall include only those tubes of
the same size and the same heat that are heat treated in the same furnace
charge. When the nal heat treatment is in a continuous furnace, or when
heat treated condition is obtained directly by quenching after hot forming,
a lot shall include all tubes of the same size and heat, heat treated in the
same furnace at the same temperature, time at heat, and furnace speed, or
all tubes of the same size and heat, hot formed and quenched in the same
production run.
9. Mechanical Tests Required
9.1 Tension TestsOne tension test shall be made on a
specimen for lots of not more than 50 tubes. Tension tests shall
be made on specimens from two tubes for lots of more than 50
tubes (see Note 3).
9.2 Flaring Test (for Seamless Tubes)One test shall be
made on specimens from one end of one tube from each lot
(see Note 2) of nished tubes. The minimum expansion of the
inside diameter shall be 10 %.
9.3 Flange Test (for Welded Tubes)One test shall be made
on specimens from one end of one tube from each lot (see Note
2) of nished tubes.
9.4 Hardness TestBrinell or Rockwell hardness tests shall
be made on specimens from two tubes from each lot (see Note
3).
9.5 When more than one heat is involved, the tension,
aring, anging, and hardness test requirements shall apply to
each heat.
9.6 Reverse Flattening TestFor welded tubes, one reverse
attening test shall be made on a specimen from each 1500 ft
[450 m] of nished tubing.
10. Hydrostatic or Nondestructive Electric Test
10.1 Each tube 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
specied in the purchase order.
10.2 The hydrostatic test shall be in accordance with Speci-
cation A 1016/A 1016M, except that in the calculation of the
hydrostatic test pressure 64000(441.2) shall be substituted for
32000(220.6).
11. Tensile and Hardness Properties
11.1 The material shall conform to the tensile and hardness
properties prescribed in Table 1.
12. Permissible Variations in Dimensions
12.1 Variations in outside diameter, wall thickness, and
length from those specied shall not exceed the amounts
prescribed in Table 5.
12.2 The permissible variations in outside diameter given in
Table 5 are not sufficient to provide for ovality in thin-walled
tubes, as dened in the table. In such tubes, the maximum and
minimum diameters at any cross section shall deviate from the
nominal diameter by no more than twice the permissible
variation in outside diameter given in Table 5; however, the
mean diameter at that cross section must still be within the
given permissible variation.
13. Surface Condition
13.1 All tubes shall be free of excessive mill scale, suitable
for inspection. A slight amount of oxidation will not be
considered as scale. Any special nish requirements shall be
subject to agreement between the manufacturer and the pur-
chaser.
14. Product Marking
14.1 In addition to the marking prescribed in Specication
A 1016/A 1016M, the marking shall indicate whether the
tubing is seamless or welded.

When tubes as ordered require wall thicknesses
3
4 in. [19 mm] or over, or an inside diameter 60 % or less of the outside diameter, a wider variation in wall thickness
is required. On such sizes a variation in wall thickness of 12.5 % over or under will be permitted.
For tubes less than
1
2 in. [12.7 mm] in inside diameter that cannot be successfully drawn over a mandrel, the wall thickness may vary6 15 % from that specied.

These tolerances apply to cut lengths up to and including 24 ft [7.3 m]. For lengths greater than 24 ft [7.3 m], the above over-tolerances shall be increased by
