Pickling, blasting or surface finishing is not mandatory when pipe is bright annealed. The purchaser may request that a passivating treatment be applied. 5.2 Heat Treatment: 1 All_pipe shall be furnished in the heat-treated condition. The heat-treatment procedure, except for “H” grades, $30815, $31272, and $31254, shall consist of heating the pipe to a minimum temperature of 1900°F (1040°C] and, ‘quenching in water or rapidly cooling by other means. 5.22 All H grades shall be furnished in the solution treated condition. If cold working is involved in processing, the minimum solution treating temperature for Grades ‘TP321H, TP347H, and TP348H shall be 2000°F {2 100°C] and for Grades TP304H, and TP316H, 1900°F [1040°C].
