Supplementary Requirements are provided. Supplemen- tary Requirement SI is provided for use when purchaser approval is required for repair welding 1.4 This specification is expressed in both inch-pound units and in SI units. However, unless the order specifies the applicable "M” specification designation (ST units), the mate- rial shall be furnished to inch-pound units. 15 The values stated in either inck-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 cach system are not exact equivalents; therefore, cach system must be used independently ofthe other.

Ordering Information 3.1 It is the purchaser's responsibility to specify in the purchase order all ordering information necessary to purchase the needed material. In addition to the ordering guidelines in ‘Specification A 961, orders should include the following infor- ‘ation: 3.11 Additional requirements (Gee 8.1 and 10.) 4. General Requirements 4.1 Product furnished to this specification shall conform to the requirements of Specification A 961, including any supple- ‘mentary requirements that arc indicated in the purchase order. Failure to comply withthe general requirements of Specifica- tion A 961 constitutes nonconformance with this specification In case of conflict between the requirements ofthis specifica- tion and Specification A 961, this specification shall prevail. 5. Manufacture 5.1 Melting Process: 5.1.1 The steel shall be made by any of the following processes: open hearth electric furnace, or basic oxygen. The steel shall be fully deoxidized, 5.1.2 The steel shall be carbon steel, high-strength low-alloy steel, or alloy steel as agreed upon between the manufacturer and purchaser. Analysis of the steel used, including all alloying elements, shall be reported by the manufacturer to the pur- chaser. The steel shall be suitable for field welding (as established by the purchase) to other fittings, valve materials. and flanges, and to pipe manufactured under the following ‘ASTM specifications: A 53, ASTM A 106, ASTM A 381, and ‘API Standard SL pipe, as we sto fitings manufactured under MSS SP-75. 5.2. Manufacturing Practice: ‘52.1 Material for forgings shall consist of ingots or blooms, billets, slabs, or bars of forged or rolled form and cut to the required length by a suitable process, 5.2.2 The finished product shall be a forging as defined in the Terminology section of Specification A 788. ‘523 Hot working shall be sufficient to develop a wrought structure throughout the part. 5.24 Flanges shall not be machined directly from plate nor from solid bar stock. 33 Heat Treatment: 53.1 All items shall be heat treated. Heat treatment of carbon stee! and high-strength low-alloy stel may consist of normalizing, normalizing-and-tempering, or quenching-and- tempering. Heat treatment of alloy steel may consist of normalizing and precipitation beat treatment or quenching and precipitation heat treatment. 53.2 The tempering temperature shall be at least 1000°F [540°C]. The precipitation heat treatment of the alloy steel shall be in the range from 1000 to 1225°F (540 to 665°C] 6 Chemical Composition 6.1 A chemical heat analysis in accordance with Specifica- tion A 961 shall be made and conform tothe requirements as to chemical composition prescribed in Table 2. (62 High-strength low-alloy steels shal be of specified alloy clement composition, with the elements covered in 6.1 re- TABLE 2 Chemical Requirements ‘Conpesten % Teatheayae __Predut Aras ‘carbon, max 028 0285 enganese max “40 sae Poaphora, ma as 0090 Suter max nas 20% Shean Ote-035 840-040 stricted within the limits prescribed therein as may be neces- sary to ensure weldability and specified minimum tensile properties. When high-strength low-alloy steel is furnished, appropriate procedures are required for field welding. ‘63 Alloy steel shall conform to the requirements for Grade LS of Specification A 707/A 707M . 7. Tensile Requirements 7.1 ‘The material shall conform to the requirements as to tensile properties prescribed in Table 1, when tested in accor- ‘dance With the mechanical testing requirements of Specifca tion A 961 7.2 The tension test specimen shall be obtained from a production forging, or from an integral prolongation represen- tative of the hub location of a flange, or the heaviest cross section ofa fitting, valve, or other part within the scope of this specification. Altematively, the test specimen may be taken from a separately forged test block which has been taken from the same heat of steel asthe production forgings, and which has been reduced by forging ina manner similar to that for the forgings it represents. 7.2.1 The test specimen shall represent all forgings from the same heat and heat teatment load whose maximum thick- nesses do not exceed the thickness ofthe test forging or blank by more than % in, [6 mun] 7.3 The axis ofthe tension test sample shall be located inthe test forging, or prolongation so as to represent mid-wall of the flange hub, o mid-wall of the thickest cross section of the valve, fitting, or other part. ‘74 ‘The axis of the tension test specimen shall be oriented parallel tothe direction of maximum forging work for fittings, valves, and other parts, except for flanges when the specimen shall be oriented in the tangential direction. 7.5 One tension test shall be taken from each heat in each ‘heat treatment load, and shall be representative ofthe largest flange hub, or valve or fitting wall thickness in the loa. 7.6 When heat treatment is done either continuous or batch type furnaces in which the working zones are controlled 10 within +o 25°F [4+ 14°C] of the required heat treatment temperature, and when the furnace is equipped with function- ing recording pyrometers such that complete heat treatment reconds are available, then one tension west from each heat shall bbe required instead of from each heat in each heat treatment load. However, this provision is limited to forgings with heat treated weights not exceeding 10 000 Ibs [4540 kg], and the test forging must accompany a production charge. ‘8 Workmanship, Finish, and Appearance 8.1 The forgings shall be free of injurious defects as defined in Specification A 961.STD-ASTM ABSH/ABTHM-ENGL 2000 mM 0759530 Obb8197 29) mm (Gh) A 694/A coum 8.2 Repair by Welding of Injurious Defects—Repair of injurious defects shall be permitted at the discretion of the ‘manufacturer in accordance with Specification A 961, 8.2.1 Deposited weld metal shal be capable of meeting all ‘mechanical properties upon heat treatment. 8.2.2 Al forgings to be repaired by welding shall be repair ‘welded prior to heat treatment. 9. Retests 9.1 any ofthe results ofthe tension tests of any lot do not conform to the requirements specified, the manufacturer may ‘reheat treat such lots, but not more than twice, except with the approval of the purchaser, on the basis of satisfactory metal- lurgical evidence that the cause of failure is curable and the quality of the material is satisfactory 10, Rejection and Rehearing, 10.1 Unless otherwise specified, any rejection based on ‘product analyses made by the purchaser in accordance with this specification shall be reported to the manufacturer within 2 days from date of test. 10.2 Samples that represent material rejected for failure to ‘comply to product analysis specified in 6.1 shall be preserved for 2 weeks from the date of the test report. In case of dissatisfaction with the results of the test, the manufacturer ‘may make claim for a rehearing within that time. 10.3 Material that shows injurious defects subsequent to its acceptance at the manufacturer's works will be rejected, and the manufacturer shall be notified. 11, Certification 1.1 Certification shall comply with Specification A 961, However, if high-strength low-alloy steel is used, the analysis and the heat number or manufacturer's heat identification shall be reported to the purchaser. 12, Product Marking 12.1 Product marking shall comply with Specification A. 961. 12.2 Forgings repaired by welding shall be marked with the leer “W” following the ASTM designation, 123 Bar Coding—In addition to the requirements in 12.1 ‘and 12.2, bar coding is acceptable as a supplemental identii- cation 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 parts, the bar code may be applied to the box or a substantially applied tag. 13.
