1.Scope
1.1 This specification covers minimum-wall-thickness, seamless cold-drawn carbon steel tubes including bending into the from of u-tubes, if specified, for use in tubular feedwater heaters.

1.2 The tubing sizes covered shall be 5/8 to 1 2/4-in. [15.9 to 31.8-mm] outside diameter, inclusive, with minimum wall thicknesses equal to or greater than 0.045 in. [1.1 mm].

1.3 optional supplementary requirements are provided, and hen desired, shall be stated in the order.

1.4 The values stared in either inch-pound units or SI units are to be regarded separately as the standard. within the text, the SI units are shown in brackets. The values sated in each system are not exact equivalents; therefore, each system must be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in nonconformance with the specification.
