B353-07 Standard Specification for Wrought Zirconium and Zirconium Alloy Seamless and Welded Tubes for Nuclear Service (Except Nuclear Fuel Cladding)
Published By | Publication Date | Number of Pages |
ASTM | 2007 | 18 |
1.1 This specification covers seamless and welded wrought zirconium and zirconium-alloy tubes for nuclear application. Nuclear fuel cladding is covered in Specification B 811.
1.2 Five grades of reactor grade zirconium and zirconium alloys suitable for nuclear application are described.
1.2.1 The present UNS numbers designated for the five grades are given in Table 1.
1.3 Unless a single unit is used, for example corrosion mass gain in mg/dm 2 , the values stated in either inch-pound or SI units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each system are not exact equivalents; therefore each system must be used independently of the other. SI values cannot be mixed with inch-pound values.
1.4 The following precautionary caveat pertains only to the test method portions of this specification. This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
