Standard Specification for Tantalum and Tantalum Alloy Seamless and Welded Tubes
STANDARD published on 1.2.2025
Why Redline?
A PDF redline is a quick and easy way to compare all of the changes between the current, active standard and the previous version.
With a redline you'll immediately see:
Save Time and Trouble!
With a Redline you no longer have to spend time trying to determine what has changed in the new standard! Redlines save you time and ensure you see what the changes are to the standard.
Price
When you select the "Active + Redline" option you get both documents! Best of all, the cost of an Active + Redline is only slightly more than buying the Active Standard by itself.

This specification covers tantalum and tantalum alloy seamless and welded tubes of the following grades: UNS Grade R05400 which is unalloyed tantalum, powder-metallurgy consolidation, UNS Grade R05200 which is unalloyed tantalum, vacuum melted, UNS Grade R05252 which is tantalum with 2.5% tungsten alloy, vacuum melted, UNS Grade R05255 which is tantalum with 10% tungsten alloy, vacuum melted, and UNS Grade R05240 which is tantalum alloy with 60% tantalum, 40% columbium, electron-beam furnace or vacuum arc melted, or both. Seamless tube shall be made by any seamless method and the welded tube shall be made from flat-rolled product by an automatic or semiautomatic fusion welding process with no addition of filler metal. Mechanical properties such as ultimate tensile strength, yield strength, and elongation shall be determined by tensile, flare, and reverse flattening tests. Nondestructive tests such as hydrostatic test, pneumatic test, helium leak test, and ultrasonic test shall be done as well.
