3 Information to be supplied by the purchaser
3.1 General information
The purchase order shall include the following information:
a) quantity (e.g. total mass or total length of tube);
b) grade number;
c) outside diameter and wall thickness (minimum or average);
d) length and type of length (random or fixed lengths);
e) method of manufacture and finish;
f) non-destructive tests;
g) packaging;
h) inspection;
i) certification.
3.2 Options
A number of options are specified in this International Standard and these are listed below. In the event that the purchaser does not indicate a wish to implement any of these options at the time of enquiry andorder, the tubes shall be supplied in accordance with the basic specification.
a) Restrictive chemistry (see 5.2).
b) Product analysis (see 5.2).
c) Special mechanical properties (see 5.3).
4 Manufacturing
The welded tube shall be made from flat-rolled strips by an automatic arc-welding, a laser welding process and other welding processes. Use of a filler material is not permitted. Butt-welds are absolutely forbidden.
After welding, the tubes shall be annealed at a temperature between 500 °C to 800 °C when agreed upon between the manufacturer and purchaser and so stated in the purchase order.
5 Requirements
5.1 General
When supplied in the delivery condition indicated in 4.1 and inspected in accordance with Clause 6, the tubes shall conform to the requirements of this International Standard.
5.2 Chemical composition
The titanium and titanium alloys shall conform to the chemical requirements prescribed in Table 1.
The elements listed in Table 1 are either intentional alloy additions or elements that are inherent to the manufacture of titanium sponge, ingot, or mill product.
The content of any element intentionally added to the heat during melting shall be reported.
When agreed upon between the producer and the purchaser and specified in the purchase order, other specific residual elements not listed in Table 1 may be added; their content shall be reported.
5.3 Tensile properties
The room temperature tensile properties of the tubes shall conform to the requirements prescribed in Table 2.
Mechanical properties for conditions other than those given in this table may be established by agreement between the manufacturer and the purchaser.
The weld shall be positioned on the 90° or 270° centreline during loading so as to be subjected to the maximum stress.BS ISO 18762 pdf download.
