A312 TP304L

1 source records. Standards, editions and conditions are presented separately; matching grade names do not establish interchangeability.

Refer to each source for mass fractions and analysis type. Missing values are not treated as 0. Manufacturer typical values, standard guarantees and measured heat results must remain separate. Use the material selector for calculations and condition selection.

Applicability and limitations

Table 1, mass percent; A single value is a maximum; ellipses mean unspecified and are not entered as zero. ; Clause 7.1 requires compliance with Table 1; The general A999/A999M requirements in Clause 5.1 still apply; only the chemical-composition table was checked in this batch. ; Austenitic steel pipe standard; This does not directly establish cold-heading wire suitability or compliance with all product acceptance requirements. ; Footnote C: the nitrogen-analysis method is agreed between purchaser and supplier. ; Footnote D: outside diameter <12.7mm, or average wall thickness <1.20mm (minimum wall thickness <1.10mm), or both, with multiple drawing passes required; The C maximum is 0.04%; the actual product condition must be selected.
