  • Ovality—The permissible variations in this table apply to individual measurements, including out-of-roundness (ovality) except for the following:
  • For pipe and tube having a nominal wall thickness of 3 % or less of the nominal outside diameter, the mean outside diameter shall conform to the permissible variations of this table and individual measurements (including ovality) shall conform to the plus and minus values of the table, with the values increased by 0.5 % of the nominal outside diameter.
  • For pipe and tube over 41⁄2 in. (114 mm) in outside diameter with a nominal wall thickness greater than 3 % of the nominal outside diameter, the mean outside diameter shall conform to the permissible variations of this table and individual measurements shall not exceed twice the permissible variations of the table.

Advantages and Disadvantages of ASTM B165

Advantages:
Monel 400 is highly resistant to corrosion from seawater, ammonia, and various acidic environments, making it suitable for high-temperature, high-pressure applications.

Disadvantages:
Due to its alloying elements, Monel 400 is more expensive than carbon steel or stainless steel. Additionally, it is more difficult to machine and weld due to its high strength and hardness. Monel 400 also has poor corrosion resistance to some strong acids, such as hydrofluoric acid.
