Case 2627 Use of Aluminum Alloy EN AW-6060 T1 Extruded (Integrally) Finned Tube in the Manufacture of Hot Water Heating Boilers Section IV Inquiry: May aluminum alloy EN AW-6060 T1 extruded nned and coiled tube meeting the chemical composition listed in Table 1, the mechanical properties listed in Table 2, and heat treatment temper designation T1 according to EN 515 August 1993, be used in construction for hot water heating boilers under the rules of Section IV? Reply: It is the opinion of the Committee that aluminum alloy EN AW-6060 T1 extruded nned and coiled tube meeting the requirements described in the Inquiry may be used in Section IV, construction of hot water heating boilers, under the following conditions: (a) Maximum allowable working pressure shall not exceed 50 psi (350 kPa). (b) The maximum water temperature shall be 220F (105C).

(c) The maximum allowable stress values shall be as shown in Table 3 and Table 3M. (d) The material shall otherwise conform to the specications listed in Table 4. (e) The minimum allowable thickness shall be 0.079 in. (2 mm), except as noted in para. (g). (f) Separate welding procedure qualications conducted in accordance with Section IX shall be required for this material. (g) Minimum thickness, at the point where the tube is bent at the water inlet/outlet terminals, is 0.039 in. (1.0 mm), provided the tubes are enclosed by a shell, casing, or ducting, where such pipes or tubes are NPS 6 (DN 150) and less, and a proof test of the tubing is performed. (h) All other applicable parts of Section IV shall apply. (i) In case of conict with any of the referenced specications, this Code Case shall govern. (j) This Case number shall be referenced in the documentation and marking of the material and shown on the Manufacturers Data Report.

The Committees function is to establish rules of safety, relating only to pressure integrity, governing the construction of boilers, pressure vessels, transport tanks and nuclear components, and inservice inspection for pressure integrity of nuclear components and transport tanks, and to interpret these rules when questions arise regarding their intent. This Code does not address other safety issues relating to the construction of boilers, pressure vessels, transport tanks and nuclear components, and the inservice inspection of nuclear components and transport tanks. The user of the Code should refer to other pertinent codes, standards, laws, regulations or other relevant documents.
