Designation: A 872/A 872M – 05
Standard Specification for
Centrifugally Cast Ferritic/Austenitic Stainless Steel Pipe for
Corrosive Environments
1
This standard is issued under the fixed designation A 872/A 872M; 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 specification covers centrifugally cast ferritic/
austenitic steel pipe intended for general corrosive service.
These steels are susceptible to embrittlement if used for
prolonged periods at elevated temperatures.
1.2 Optional supplementary requirements are provided
when additional testing may be required.
1.3 The values stated in either inch-pound units or SI units
are to be regarded separately as standard. Within the text, SI
units are shown in brackets. The values stated in each system
are not exact equivalents; therefore, each system must be used
independently of each other. Combining values from the two
systems may result in nonconformance with the specification.
