Incoloy 800 Seamless Tube

UNS N08800 | 1.4876 | ASTM B407

Thermal processing equipment requires a tube material that withstands hot gases while remaining readily fabricable, and Alloy 800 (UNS N08800) meets that need through resistance to oxidation and carburization in suitable elevated-temperature environments. Temperature gradients and changes in furnace atmosphere should be considered together, especially where a component operates in both hotter and cooler zones, and for sustained high-temperature loading the required creep properties should be confirmed with the exact Alloy 800-series grade identified on the order. The Incoloy 800 seamless tube is used in suitable duties such as furnace equipment, process heating and high-temperature exchangers. Supply is available to ASTM B407, with straightness and end condition controlled where tubes must pass through closely spaced supports. Please provide the tube outside diameter, wall thickness and cut length, together with the specified delivery condition and any dimensional requirements for the finished assembly. Each order ships with EN 10204 3.1 inspection documents.

Sizes, Wall Basis and Ordering

Two figures are kept apart here: the overall sourcing range — what we can supply ex-stock or source mill-direct — and the confirmed combination for your order (standard × OD × wall × length × manufacturing condition). The tables state the first; the written quotation fixes the second.

Supply combinations by outside diameter

OD band, mm	Wall range, mm	Supply route (ex-stock / mill-direct)	Order status
≤ 25	0.5 – 3.0	Cold-drawn / cold-pilgered	In stock · 3–7 days / mill-direct · 25–35 days
> 25 – 60	0.8 – 6.0	Cold-drawn	In stock · 3–7 days / mill-direct · 25–35 days
> 60 – 114.3	1.5 – 10.0	Cold-drawn; hot-finished above 8 mm wall	In stock · 3–7 days / mill-direct · 25–35 days
> 114.3 – 219.1	2.5 – 20.0	Hot-finished; cold-finished on request	In stock · 3–7 days / mill-direct · 25–35 days
> 219.1 – 257	4.0 – 35.0	Hot-finished (extruded)	In stock · 3–7 days / mill-direct · 25–35 days

Stock items are marked In stock; everything else is mill-direct with a stated lead time. Wall figures give the range that can be drawn or rolled for that OD band; the ordered wall is always stated with its basis. Above 225 mm OD the tabulated dimensional bands no longer apply and the basis is agreed in writing before the order is accepted.

Ordering options

Item	What can be ordered
Outside diameter	6 – 257 mm — drawn to the ordered OD, not to NPS
Wall thickness	0.5 – 35 mm — minimum or average basis, stated on the order
Length	Random 5–7 m, fixed up to 18 m, or cut to length
Ends	Plain, bevelled, or capped for export packing
Surface	Pickled and passivated, bright annealed, or polished
Delivery condition	Solution annealed; hardness and grain size reported on request

Sizes at the edge of a band, and anything above 225 mm OD, are quoted after technical review. If your enquiry is written in NPS and schedule, the quotation will restate it as OD × wall so both sides work from the same numbers.

Ordering Standards: B407 vs B515

Nickel alloys are not covered by A213 or A312. Each alloy carries its own B-series specification, and the mechanical values are set per alloy — so the specification and edition must be stated on the enquiry, not inferred from the grade name. B407 is the primary specification for this product; B515 is the companion specification that is sometimes cited instead.

Item	ASTM B407	ASTM B515
Scope	Primary B-series specification for this alloy in the ordered form	Companion specification; confirm which one the purchase order cites
Ordering basis	OD × wall × length for tube, NPS × schedule or OD × wall for pipe	Same dimensional notation, different acceptance clauses
Chemical limits	Per the alloy table of the primary specification	May differ; the order must name the standard and edition
Testing	Integrity test plus the mechanical tests the specification requires	Same intent, different sampling and frequency
Documents	EN 10204 3.1 with heat-number traceability	3.1 or 3.2 as ordered

B163 covers seamless tube for several nickel alloys; B161, B165, B167, B407, B423, B444 and B622 cover pipe and tube by alloy family. The certificate cites the standard named on the order — mixing them after the fact is not possible.

Chemical Composition (Incoloy 800 Heat-Analysis Limits)

Chemical composition, % by weight:

Grade	Ni	Cu	Fe	Mn	C	Si	S	Cr	Al	Ti	P	Others
800	30.00–35.00	≤ 0.75	≥ 39.50	≤ 1.50	≤ 0.10	≤ 1.00	≤ 0.015	19.00–23.00	0.15–0.60	0.15–0.60	≤ 0.045	-
800H	30.00–35.00	≤ 0.75	≥ 39.5	≤ 1.50	0.05–0.10	≤ 1.00	≤ 0.015	19.00–23.00	0.15–0.60	0.15–0.60	-	-
800HT	30.00–35.00	≤ 0.75	≥ 39.5	≤ 1.50	0.06–0.10	≤ 1.00	≤ 0.015	19.00–23.00	0.25–0.60	0.25–0.60	≤ 0.045	AL+Ti= 0.85–1.2

Values are the heat-analysis limits of the specification named above. Product analysis on the finished tube or pipe may differ within the tolerances the standard permits, and the actual heat analysis is printed on the mill test certificate.

Mechanical Properties and Physical Data

Mechanical properties — Incoloy 800 (UNS N08800), annealed:

Tensile Strength	Yield Strength	Elongation	Hardness
≥ 520 MPa	≥ 205 MPa	≥ 30%	≤ 90 HRB

Typical physical properties:

Density	Melting Point	Thermal Expansion	Thermal Conductivity	Modulus of Elasticity	Electrical Resistivity
8.03 g/cm³	1357–1400 °C approx.	15.0 µm/m·°C (20–100°C)	11.2 W/m·K (20°C)	196 GPa	1.06 x 10⁻⁶ Ω·m (20°C)

Tensile and yield values are specification minima at room temperature; hardness and grain size are reported when the purchase order asks for them. Design values at service temperature must be taken from the applicable code, not from this table.

Permissible Variations in Dimensions (B407)

Dimensional acceptance follows the tables of the B-series specification named above, with B829 as the general tolerances reference where the product standard is silent. The bands below are representative; the edition cited on the purchase order governs.

Outside diameter

Outside diameter, mm	Permissible variation
≤ 25	± 0.13 mm
> 25 – 50	± 0.20 mm
> 50 – 100	± 0.38 mm
> 100 – 200	± 0.76 mm
>200	± 0.5 % of OD

Variations apply to the individual measurement. For cold-drawn tube the ovality is included in the OD band, not added to it.

Wall thickness

Condition	Permissible variation
Cold-finished	± 10 % of ordered wall
Hot-finished	+ 22.5 % / − 0 % of ordered wall
Minimum wall ordered	No point below the ordered minimum

The wall basis must match the design calculation; nickel-alloy tube is normally ordered on a minimum basis.

Fixed lengths: + 3 mm / − 0 mm. Random lengths 5–7 m unless a fixed length is ordered; straightness 1 in 600, and end squareness is inspected before packing.

Inspection, Testing and Mill Test Certificates

Three groups of evidence are separated here, because only the first is inside the base price. Anything in the second and third groups has to be written on the purchase order — it cannot be added after the mill test certificate has been issued.

Group	Content	How it is triggered
1 — Included	Chemical analysis, tensile test, flattening or bend test, hydrostatic or nondestructive electric test, dimensional check, EN 10204 3.1 certificate	Standard supply; no extra instruction needed
2 — Written on the PO	Ultrasonic or eddy-current testing to a stated acceptance level, PMI on each heat, intergranular corrosion test, grain size, hardness survey, 3.2 certificate	Must appear on the purchase order; priced per order
3 — Third party	TPI witness (SGS, BV, TÜV, Lloyd's), destructive sampling, third-party laboratory, packing inspection, pre-shipment photographs	Arranged per order; extends the lead time

The test route is not interchangeable after the fact: if the certificate has to show ultrasonic testing, say so on the enquiry, because a hydrostatic-only pipe cannot be re-certified as ultrasonically tested.

What the mill test certificate records

Heat number	The melt the item came from, traceable to the raw-material certificate
Grade and specification	Grade designation plus the standard and edition the order cites
Chemical analysis	Actual values for each element, not the range
Mechanical results	Tensile, yield, elongation and hardness as tested
Test route	Hydrostatic or nondestructive electric test, plus any agreed NDT with the method reference
Heat treatment	Solution-annealing temperature range and cooling method
Dimensions	Ordered OD, wall and length, with the measured values on request

Incoloy 800 Tube Applications and Points to Confirm

Each application below names the duty the grade is normally chosen for, and what should be settled before the order is placed — the third column decides whether this grade is the right one:

Industry	Typical duty
Power generation	boiler, superheater and feedwater duty
Petrochemical & refining	hydrocarbon and sour-service duty
Heat treatment	cyclic high-temperature duty
Chemical processing	aggressive reaction and transfer duty
Refining & conversion	high-pressure conversion duty
Industrial furnaces	furnace and kiln duty

Points to confirm before ordering

Medium, concentration and chloride content — the figures that decide whether this grade holds
Design temperature and pressure, including upset and cleaning cycles
Whether the joint is welded, and the post-weld condition required
Inspection and document scope: NDT level, PMI, third-party witness

Send the medium, concentration, temperature, pressure and chloride level, and we will confirm the grade — or propose the next one up if the margin is narrow.

Grade Selection: Incoloy 800 vs TP310S

Property	Incoloy 800	TP310S
PREN, typical	22	25
Molybdenum	—	—
Yield strength, min.	≥ 175 MPa	≥ 205 MPa
Service temperature	≈ 1100 °C	≈ 1150 °C
Choose when	The acid, alkali or temperature exceeds what stainless steels hold	Lower alloy content is enough for the duty

PREN is indicative only and is calculated from the composition ranges above — it is not an acceptance value. Where the duty sits between two grades, the deciding factors are usually chloride content, temperature and whether the joint is welded.

Frequently Asked Questions

What sizes can be supplied in Incoloy 800 tube?

The overall sourcing range is OD 6 – 257 mm, wall 0.5 – 35 mm, length 18 m. The band table shows the wall range normally held or supplied for each OD band; the exact combination of standard, OD, wall, length and manufacturing condition is confirmed in the quotation. Sizes at the edge of a band are quoted after technical review.

Is this page a stock list?

In part. Stocked sizes are marked In stock and ship in 3–7 days; everything else is mill-direct with a 25–35 day lead time, confirmed per item in the quote.

Should the wall be ordered minimum or average?

Either, but it must be stated. A213-type tube is normally ordered on a minimum-wall basis, which is what the tolerance table in the dimensional section assumes. If your design code calls for average wall, say so on the enquiry and the quotation changes basis.

Which specification applies — B407 or B515?

ASTM B407 is the primary specification for this tube and the one the page describes. ASTM B515 is the adjacent specification; whether it applies depends on the ordered form, the test regime and the design code. State the standard and edition on the enquiry and the certificate will cite the same one.

Which tests and documents are included?

Mandatory: one integrity test per length (hydrostatic or nondestructive electric), tensile test per lot, dimensional check and an EN 10204 3.1 mill test certificate. Optional and only when written on the order: ultrasonic or eddy-current testing to a stated level, PMI, intergranular corrosion test, grain size, third-party witness and 3.2 certification.

How does Incoloy 800 compare with TP310S?

TP310S is the usual comparison grade. Incoloy 800 carries PREN of about 22 against 25 for TP310S, with a minimum yield of 175 MPa. The change is normally made when the duty — chloride level, temperature or pressure — leaves TP310S without margin over the design life.
