NOTES:
(1) The present Grade F5A (0.25 %, maximum carbon) previous to 1955 was assigned the identification symbol F5. Identification symbol F5 has been assigned to the 0.15%, maximum,
carbon grade to be consistent with ASTM specifications for other products such as pipe, tubing, bolting, welding, fittings, etc.
(2) F347 shall have a columbium content of not less than ten times the carbon content and not more than 1.00%. (Alternately, tantalum may be substituted for part of the columbium as
approved.)
(3) F321 shall have a titanium content of not less than five times the carbon content and not more than 0.60%.
(4) Nickel plus copper.
(5) For small diameter (less than 0.500 in. [12.5 mm] or thin walls (less than 0.40 in. [10 mm] minimum specified wall thickness) tubes, a carbon maximum of 0.015% is permitted.
(6) For Grade F22V, rare earth metals (REM) may be added in place of calcium subject to agreement between the producer and the purchaser. In that case the total amount of REM
