Specifications by product form

One alloy is ordered under different ASTM/ASME numbers depending on form: forged flanges and fittings, wrought buttweld fittings, and pipe or tube. For Titanium Grade 5 the usual specifications are B381 F5, B348. Quote both the specification and the UNS number on purchase orders to avoid ambiguity.

Chemical and mechanical limits differ between these specifications — always check the edition of the standard named on your order and the mill test certificate.
