ASTM B165 Standard Specification of Nickel-Copper Alloy Seamless Pipe and Tube

This specification covers nickel-copper alloy UNS N04400 in the form of cold-worked seamless
pipe and tube in the conditions shown in Table 1 and Table X11 !ot worked material is
available "roperties and permissible tolerances are to be a#reed upon between the
manufacturer and purchaser The values stated in inch-pound units are to be re#arded as the
standard The values #iven in parentheses are for information only
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 become familiar with all hazards
including those identified in the appropriate Material Safety Data Sheet for this product/material
as provided by the manufacturer, to establish appropriate safety and health practices, and
determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
