1、Designation:A571/A571M01(Reapproved 2015)Standard Specification forAustenitic Ductile Iron Castings for Pressure-ContainingParts Suitable for Low-Temperature Service1This standard is issued under the fixed designation A571/A571M;the number immediately following the designation indicates the yearof o
2、riginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.A superscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This specification2covers austenitic ductile iron,TypeD-2M,Classes
3、 1 and 2,for compressors,expanders,pumps,valves,and other pressure-containing parts intended primarilyfor low-temperature service.1.2 These grades of austenitic ductile iron are characterizedby having their graphite substantially in a spheroidal form andfree of flake graphite.They are essentially fr
4、ee of carbides andcontain sufficient alloy content to produce a stable austeniticmatrix down to 423F 252C(liquid hydrogen).1.3 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded separately as standard.The values stated ineach system may not be exact equivalents;therefore,each
5、system shall be used independently of the other.Combiningvalues from the two systems may result in non-conformancewith the standard.1.3.1 Within the text,the SI units are shown in brackets.1.4 The following precautionary caveat pertains only to thetest methods portion,Section 11,of this specificatio
6、n:Thisstandard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is the responsibility of the userof this standard to establish appropriate safety and healthpractices and determine the applicability of regulatory limita-tions prior to use.2.Referenced Documents
