A For small diameter or thin walls, or both, tubing, where many drawing passes are required, a carbon maximum of 0.015 % is necessary. Small outside diameter tubes are defined as those less than 0.500 in. [12.7 mm] in outside diameter and light wall tubes as those less than 0.049 in. [1.2 mm] in average wall thickness (0.040 in. [1 mm] in minimum wall thickness).
1, General Requirements
Material furnished under this specification shall conform to the applicable requirements of Specification A1016/A1016M unless otherwise provided herein.
2, Manufacture

3, Surface Condition
considered as scale. Any special finish requirements shall be subject to agreement between the manufacturer and the purchaser.
4, Mechanical Tests Required
1) Tension Tests
2) Flange Test (for Welded Tubes) (For tubes over 8 in. [203.2 mm] in outside diameter, or tubes with wall thickness 3⁄8 in. [9.52 mm] and over, the flattening test may be performed instead of the flange test unless the flange test is specified in the purchase order.)
3) Hardness Test
4) Reverse Flattening Test
MW Metal offers both Eddy current test and air underwater test for 100% tubes.
