| Welded Ferritic Stainless Steel Feedwater Heater Tubes | A 803/A 803M |
| Austenitic and Ferritic Stainless Steel Duct Tubes for Breeder Reactor Core Components | A 826/A 826M |
| High-Frequency Induction Welded, Unannealed Austenitic Steel Condenser Tubes | A 851 |
A These designations refer to the latest issue of the respective specifications.
1.2 In the case of conflict between a requirement of a product specification and a requirement of this general requirements specification, the product specification shall prevail. In the case of conflict between a requirement of the product specification or a requirement of this general requirements specification and a more stringent requirement of the purchase order, the purchase order shall prevail.
1.3 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. Within the text, the SI units are shown in brackets. The values stated in each system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in non-conformance with the standard. The inch-pound units shall apply unless the “M” designation (SI) of the product specification is specified in the order.
