6.1 All fittings shall be furnished in the heat-treated condition. For H grades, separate solution heat treatments are
required for solution annealing; in-process heat treatments are
not permitted as a substitute for the separate solution annealing
treatments. The heat-treat procedure, except for those grades
listed in 6.2, shall consist of solution annealing the fittings at
the temperatures listed for each grade in Table 4 until the
chromium carbides go into solution, and then cooling at a
sufficient rate to prevent reprecipitation.

7. Chemical Composition
7.1 The chemical composition of each cast or heat used
shall be determined and shall conform to the requirements of
the chemical composition for the respective grades of materials
listed in Table 2. The ranges as shown have been expanded to
include variations of the chemical analysis requirements that
are listed in the various specifications for starting materials

(pipe, tube, plate, bar, and forgings) normally used in the
manufacturing of fittings to this specification. Methods and
practices relating to chemical analyses required by this specification shall be in accordance with Test Methods, Practices,
and Terminology A751. Product analysis tolerances in accordance with Specification A960/A960M are applicable.
7.2 The steel shall not contain any unspecified elements for
the ordered grade to the extent that it conforms to the
requirements of another grade for which that element is a
specified element having a required minimum content.
7.3 In fittings of welded construction, the alloy content
(carbon, chromium, nickel, molybdenum, columbium, and
tantalum) of the deposited weld metal shall conform to that
required of the base metal or for equivalent weld metal as given
in the AWS filler metal specification A 5.4 or A 5.9 (Type 348
weld metal is listed in AWS A 5.9 but not in AWS A 5.4).
Exceptions are when welding on Types 304L and 304 base
metals, the deposited weld metal shall correspond,
respectively, to AWS E308L(ER308L) and E308 (ER308),
when welding on Type 321 base metal, the weld metal shall
correspond to AWS Type E347 (ER347 or ER321); and, when
welding on S31725, S31726, S31254, S31266, or S33228
deposited weld metal shall correspond either to the alloy
content of the base metal or to AWS A5.11 E NiCrMo3 (UNS
W86112) (AWS A5.14 Ni Cr Mo3 (UNS N06625)), and when
welding on S31730, deposited weld metal and filler metal used
shall correspond either to the alloy content of the base metal or
to AWS A5.14 ERNiCr-3 (UNS N06082), or ERNiCrMo-3
(UNS N06625), or ERNiCrMo-4 (UNS N10276). On S38815
base metals, the deposited weld metal and filler metal used
shall be agreed upon between purchaser and manufacturer. In
fittings of welded construction made from predominantly
ferrous alloys N08020, N08367, N08700, N08800, N08810,
N08811, N08904, N08925 & N08926, the alloy content of the
deposited weld metal shall conform to that required of the base
metal or for the equivalent weld metal given in the AWS Filler
Metal Specification A5.11 and A5.14. However, it is possible
that weld deposit chemistry will not meet the limits of either
the base metal or the filler metal for some elements. The weld
deposit chemistry shall meet the lowest minimum and highest
maximum values for each specification element in either of the
base metal or filler metal specification. Dilution of the base and
filler metal must be considered when determining weld deposit
criteria for over-alloyed filler metals.
7.3.1 Supplementary Requirement S1 may be specified
where 16-8-2 filler metal is required for joining thick sections
of Types 316, 321, or 347 and has adequate corrosion resistance for the intended service.
8. Tensile Properties
8.1 The tensile properties of the fitting material shall conform to the requirements of Table 5. The testing and reporting
shall be performed in accordance with Specification A960/
A960M.
8.1.1 Specimens cut either longitudinally or transversely
shall be acceptable for the tensile test.
8.1.2 While Table 5 specifies elongation requirements for
both longitudinal and transverse specimens, it is not the intent

pipe or equivalent material.
9.3 All Grade CR fittings, except tees covered in 9.3.1, shall
be capable of withstanding without failure, leakage, or impairment of serviceability, a test pressure based on the ratings in
MSS SP-43.
9.3.1 Grade CR tees fabricated using intersection welds
shall be capable of passing a hydrostatic test based on 70 % of
the ratings in MSS SP-43.
10. Surface Finish, Appearance, and Corrosion
Protection
10.1 The requirements of Specification A960/A960M apply
except as modified as follows:
10.2 Fittings supplied under this specification shall be
examined visually. Selected typical surface discontinuities
shall be explored for depth. The fittings shall be free from
surface discontinuities that penetrate more than 5 % of the
specified nominal wall thickness, except as defined in 10.4 and
10.5, and shall have a workmanlike finish.
10.3 Surface discontinuities deeper than 5 % of the specified nominal wall thickness, except as defined in 10.4 and 10.5,
shall be removed by the manufacturer by machining or
grinding to sound metal, and the repaired areas shall be well
faired. The wall thickness at all points shall be at least 8712 %
of the specified nominal wall thickness, and the diameters at all
points shall be within the specified limits.
10.4 Surface checks (fish scale) deeper than 164 in. [0.4
mm] shall be removed.

method. The purchaser may specify in the order a specific bar
coding system to be used. The bar coding system, if applied at
the discretion of the supplier, should be consistent with one of
the published industry standards for bar coding. If used on
small fittings, the bar code may be applied to the box or a
substantially applied tag.
