Introduction
0.1 The Royal Navy has gained considerable experience in the use of pipework for the transport of liquids
and gases within HM Surface Ships and Submarines over many years. It is on the basis of this corporate
knowledge that the Admiralty Pipework Standards (BR 3013) and the various system design Defence
Standards have evolved to their current status. The text of this particular Standard has also drawn on this
body of knowledge when citing general requirements, material selection, material corrosion performance,
etc.
0.2 A formal selection method for tube materials and sizes as part of a design process has been defined
in this Defence Standard, permitting the use of materials to commercial standards not previously codified by
Defence Standards or the preceding Naval Engineering Standards. This process includes defining the tube
non-destructive test requirements necessary to ensure the desired performance and component quality
assurance for naval applications.
0.3 Previous Defence Standards and Naval Engineering Standards have compiled standard tube
geometries used in Royal Navy vessels. To ensure like-for-like replacement of parts on vessels built to
these earlier Standards, the necessary test requirements and dimensions from these earlier Standards have
been included in this Defence Standard as a series of Annexes.
0.4 Where previous Defence Standards for tubes, such as Def Stan 02-831 covering aluminium alloy
tubes, have been found not to contain performance critical requirements or important component sizing data,
these standards have not been included as Annexes of this Defence Standard. Any naval requirement for
aluminium tubes for fluid or gas applications can be addressed using the general test methods and
acceptance criterion stated in clauses 13 and 14 of this Standard.
0.5 Previous naval experience, as embodied by the various material Annexes, has found the following
tube material / service combinations effective:
a)
90/10 and 70/30 copper-nickels for general seawater supply piping. The 70/30 copper-nickel alloy
offers somewhat greater strength, being particularly used for higher pressure components in HM
Submarines, but at a greater price than 90/10 copper-nickel. Both copper-nickel alloys show very high
resistance to stress corrosion cracking in seawater service.
b)
Seawater cooler heat exchanger tubing has traditionally used 70/30 copper-nickel tube. This material
provides some anti-fouling effects to limit macro-fouling of tubes, and has the best erosion-corrosion
resistance of the copper alloys commonly used in naval tubing.
c)
Aluminium-nickel-silicon-brass has provided a low magnetic permeability, higher strength and lower
price alternative to 70/30 copper-nickel for high pressure air and hydraulic pipework.
d)
Titanium tubing has proved corrosion resistant in seawater heat exchanger applications, with greater
erosion-corrosion resistance than the copper-nickel alloys. The increased material cost may be offset
in part against the use of thinner tubes, based on the minimal corrosion rate of the titanium and its
greater strength.
0.6 Industrial experience, especially in offshore oil and gas applications, has also indicated some effective
tube material / service combinations:
a)
Super duplex and super austenitic stainless steels have both been used for tubular products with
seawater up to 40C.
b)
Titanium tubes are being adopted for oil rig fire main systems, to avoid previous corrosion problems
with mild steel and copper-nickel materials.
Nickel-chromium-molybdenum alloys such as Alloy 625 can show high resistance to pitting and
crevice corrosion in seawater at elevated temperatures.
0.7 Some examples of the necessity to carefully select the material and tube size for a particular system
are given for illustrative purposes:
a)
Submarine steam drains were for many years manufactured from mild steel. However these were
particularly susceptible to corrosion in this wet steam environment. This necessitated frequent
replacement and the resulting costs and non-availability of the platform. The selection of a more
corrosion resistant alloy (nickel-chromium-molybdenum Alloy 625) removed the need for repeated
replacement, reducing maintenance costs and increasing platform availability.
b)
Erosion-corrosion due to excessive seawater flow velocities has caused failure of copper-nickel tubes.
These alloys are also susceptible to sulphide polluted waters and Microbial Influenced Corrosion
(MIC) during the initial period after installation. Def Stan 02-781 has been revised in Issue 2 to
improve the corrosion performance of such copper-nickel tubes.
c)
An additional restriction on the iron content of 90/10 copper-nickel to between 1.5 and 2.0% has been
proposed to improve the seawater erosion-corrosion resistance of the alloy (see clause D.5.1.1).
d)
e)
Non-copper based alloy tubes handling seawater can become rapidly clogged by marine organism
growths if not cleaned or treated by biocides / antifoulants such as chlorine.
f)
Heat exchanger tubes can suffer corrosion accelerated fatigue due to flow induced tube vibration if of
insufficient rigidity.
g)
The poor thermal conductivity of titanium compared to copper-nickel heat exchanger tubes can be
compensated for by the use of thinner tubes, utilising the greater corrosion and erosion-corrosion
resistance of titanium.

Scope
This Standard is to advise and inform the selection of tubes and pipes for the transport of liquids and gases
within HM Submarines and Surface Ships not in Class. It specifies the requirements, inspection and testing
for non-ferrous tubes and pipes. The Standard replaces five specific alloy Standards (Def Stans 02-749
Part 3, 02-779 Part 3, 02-780 Part 3, 02-831 Part 3 and 02-837) but retains the procurement aspects of
these documents in appropriate Annexes. Def Stan 02-831 covering aluminium alloy tubes, has been found
not to contain performance critical requirements or important component sizing data and so these Standards
have been superseded by this Defence Standard, but not replaced by separate Annexes of this Defence
Standard. Requirements for the procurement of steel tubes and pipes are specified in Def Stan 02-864. Def
Stan 02-878 only applies to non-nuclear systems.
Warning
The Ministry of Defence (MOD), like its contractors, is subject to both United Kingdom and European laws
regarding Health and Safety at Work. Many Defence Standards set out processes and procedures that
could be injurious to health if adequate precautions are not taken. Adherence to those processes and
procedures in no way absolves users from complying with legal requirements relating to Health and Safety at
Work.

a)
Weakening of tube materials by general corrosion and local corrosion (pitting), reductions in wall
thickness by erosion-corrosion, stress corrosion cracking or corrosion fatigue from internal and
external environments shall be considered.
b)
Reduction in effective tube wall thickness through-life due to corrosion must be considered in
specifying tube wall thickness, with the possible addition of a corrosion allowance thickness above the
minimum pressure determined wall thickness. Any such corrosion allowance must be determined by
the specific corrosive conditions and the design life of the system.
c)
The galvanic (dissimilar metals) corrosion interactions of tube materials with other pipe system
component materials shall be considered in estimating the corrosion implications of a given material
selection.
d)
Guidelines on tube material corrosion susceptibilities and corrosion rates are detailed in Annex F,
BR 3008 and MAP 01-109. Tables 3 and 4 provide comparative advisory listings of material corrosion
resistance and corrosion severity for various tube applications.
Corrosion allowances may not be required for low severity conditions. Corrosion resistant materials or
protective coatings can be specified to reduce or avoid the requirement for wall thickness corrosion
allowances. The durability of any such coatings must also be considered.
f)
Water velocity limits apply for some materials. Excessive velocity can result in rapid loss of wall
thickness for certain materials due to erosion-corrosion. Suggested maximum permissible seawater
velocities for different tube materials are listed in Table 5.
g)
Seawater velocity should always be at least 1m/s to prevent the settlement of surface deposits and
possible localised corrosion.

NOTE
These maximum velocities are for sea water system pipework of internal
diameter of 100mm or greater, and for heat exchanger tubing. Maximum
velocity limits for seawater system pipework less than 100mm or where
hydrodynamic conditions in heat exchanger tubes are less than ideal should be
reduced. Def Stan 02-719 Def Stan 02-781 Issue 2 Annex B and BS MA 18

Cost comparisons for complete tube applications must take into account that:
1)
Typically, the through life costs of tubes that require periodic replacement due to corrosion
exceeds those of initially more expensive materials that do not require tube replacement.
2)
The lower density of titanium and aluminium alloy reduces the effective cost per component.
3)
Higher strengths and corrosion resistances may permit economic use of more expensive
materials through reduced tube wall thicknesses.
5.5
a)
The joining and weldability of tubes shall be evaluated in selecting tube materials. Mixed metal joints
should be avoided wherever possible.
b)
Requirements for compatibility with mechanical couplings and expansion into heat exchanger tube
plates may place limits on acceptable tube hardness.
c)
Welding shall be in accordance with Def Stan 02-772 unless otherwise agreed by the Design
Authority.
5.6
a)
The tensile strength properties of the tube material and the maximum design pressure shall be used to
calculate the minimum tube wall thickness following the procedures of a recognised pipe design code
or pressure vessel design standard. Examples of such standards are BS EN 13445-1, BS EN 134803 and ASME B31.
b)
The final tube wall thickness shall be the next highest wall thickness found in commonly commercially
available tube size which is greater than the sum of the minimum wall thickness (from clause 5.6a)
and any allowance for corrosion or other factor.
c)
Sizes of tube defined in BR 3013 and the previous Defence Standards now superseded in Annexes B
to E of this Standard shall also be acceptable without detailed design calculation, if fully compliant with
the specific stated material requirements and operating system limitations of these Annexes.
10
Tube wall thicknesses shall be sufficient to ensure resistance to buckling and ease of tube expansion,
joining by welding or metallic compression couplings, as appropriate.
e)
If bending of tubes is desired, a bending allowance thickness should be added to the minimum wall
thickness, calculated as follows:
B=
D
t
2.5r
Where:
B is bending allowance.
D is tube outside diameter.
r is centreline radius of bend.
t is tube wall thickness.

Tube Manufacture
a)
The method of tube manufacture shall avoid local material inhomogeneity that adversely affects the
required mechanical or corrosion properties.
b)
Tubes for pressure systems (steam, boiler, compressed air and hydraulic systems etc), or containment
of corrosive fluids, such as seawater, shall be seamless.
c)
Billets or hollows shall be released for production of tubes only when a certificate of conformity or an
analysis shows that they meet the specified requirement.
d)
e)
All heat treatment is to be carried out in a furnace operating with an atmosphere sulphur content less
than 0.005g/m3.
f)
Surface defects may be removed by grinding, machining or filing with a clean file, provided that the
material thickness does not go below the allowable tolerance. Dressed areas are to be faired
smoothly into the surrounding material and the bottom radius of the dressed area is to be at least
three times the depth of the defect. Surface imperfections such as handling marks, straightening
marks, tight mandrel, die or roll marks and scale pattern are not to be considered as damaging defects
provided that they do not reduce the wall thickness below the specified tolerance. Surface features
that result in the detachment of metallic flakes from the wall thickness during subsequent bending /
forming shall be considered surface defects.
g)
All tubes are to be cleaned to remove all contamination and moisture. After cleaning, the tube ends
are to be suitably sealed to prevent ingress of moisture and contamination during transport and
storage.
h)
Unless otherwise stated in the contract documents, all tubes are to be supplied in straight random
lengths of not more than 6.0 metres. 90% or more of tubes in each batch are to have a minimum
length of 3.5 metres. The remainder may be supplied in shorter lengths down to a minimum of 2
metres.
13
8.1
a)
Tubes supplied to this Defence Standard shall be defined by material and dimensions in accordance
with an internationally recognised Originating Standard (as defined in clause 5.2d).
b)
2)
Originating Standard: Annex C of this Defence Standard, Class 2, OD: 20mm, Wall thickness:
3.5mm.
c)
The design decisions and assumptions, as outlined in clause 5.1, used to select a given tube size and
material from a chosen Originating Standard shall be formally recorded.
8.2
Destructive Tests
Tubes shall be tested and accepted according to the requirements of the chosen Originating Standard.
These requirements must address the issues detailed below, as applicable.
8.2.1
Sampling
Samples need to be taken from material representative of the supplied product, both in terms of
compositional origin and of the processing history to the final product form. When large amounts of tubing
are supplied from different production batches, samples may be required from each batch to ensure
uniformity of properties. Sampling from each production batch / cast is required for First Level components.
8.2.2
Chemical Analysis
Required to confirm compliance of the supplied material with the Originating Standard. Deviations in this
composition may affect tube performance in ways not otherwise detected by other acceptance testing.
Chemical analysis per batch / cast is required for all First Level components.
8.2.3
Tensile Tests
Required to confirm that the mechanical properties of the supplied tubes meet the design assumptions used
to select the tube dimensions. Deviations in mechanical properties may indicate that the wider tube
performance will not be as assumed in the original design decision. Tensile testing per batch is required for
all First Level components.
8.2.4
Hardness Tests
Required to ensure that tube surface mechanical properties do not deviate significantly from tensile test
results obtained from full wall thickness sample. Excessive hardness, especially in surfaces, can make
tubes more difficult to install / assemble and prevent effective use of mechanical couplings which use
metallic teeth or edges to engage the tube surface. If hardness values are specified in the Originating
Standard, First Level components require the hardness testing of each batch.
8.2.5
Re-tests
The repeat testing of a batch of tubes which initially fail to meet the specified performance levels must be
limited to a reasonable level to ensure that any passing test result is truly representative of the tube
performance.
14
Non-destructive Tests
The following non-destructive testing shall be required for all tubing meeting the requirements of this
Defence Standard. These tests and examinations ensure that manufactured tubes meet the high integrity
and safety requirements of applications in HM Submarines and Surface Ships not in Class.
8.3.1
Visual Examination
The surface of each tube is to be inspected, including internal surfaces where visible from the tube ends.
Magnification optics (up to x 5) may be used if required.

at positions approximately 75 mm from both ends of the tube.
2)
The wall thickness is to be measured at two positions 180 apart at one end of each tube,
unless otherwise specified in Annexes B to E.
Each tube shall be tested for defects by one of the following methods at the option of the supplier,
unless otherwise stated in the order:
1)
2)
Hydrostatic test.
3)
The test is to be carried out in accordance with the procedure described in clause A.3.1
8.3.3.2 Hydrostatic Test
a)

Where:
D is the specified outside diameter of the tube (mm).
T is the specified wall thickness of the tube (mm).
S is the stress (MPa) - corresponding to 70% of the specified minimum yield strength or
proof strength for the tube material concerned at room temperature.
b)
The test pressure is to be maintained for at least 30 seconds. During the test the tube is to be
inspected along its entire length.
15
Each heat exchanger tube is to be subjected to a pneumatic test. The test pressure is to be 4 bar. The test
duration is to be at least 30 seconds.
8.3.4
a)
Each general purpose tube (not heat exchanger tube) shall be pressure proof tested to indicate
suitability for the operating pressures to be employed. The test pressure is to be:
1)
times the system Design Pressure if this is less than or equal to 70 bar, or
2)
b)
The test pressure is to be maintained for at least 30 seconds. During the test the tube is to be
inspected along its entire length.
c)
Where the leak tightness tests (clause 8.3.3) selected is a hydrostatic test (clause 8.3.3.2) requiring a
test pressure greater than the system-based proof test pressure defined in clause 8.3.4a), a
successful hydrostatic test shall be considered to also meet the requirements of this pressure proof
test.
8.3.5
Magnetic Permeability
This is only to be measured when stipulated in the contract documents, using the stipulated method.
8.3.6
Ultrasonic Tests
After acceptance of the leak tightness and pressure tests, each tube for First Level applications is to be
subjected to an ultrasonic test. Ultrasonic testing of Non-First Level tubes shall also be carried out if
stipulated by the contract documents. The test is to be carried out in accordance with the procedure
described in clause A.3.2.
Acceptance Standards

supplied. If the ends of tubes cannot be satisfactorily inspected, the un-inspected areas may be cutoff.
A.3.1.2
Calibration
a)
b)
In each case the calibration standard is to consist of 3 holes of not more than 0.80mm diameter drilled
completely through the tube wall. The holes are to be displaced circumferentially at 120 from one
another and sufficiently far apart axially to ensure that signals from each one can be easily resolved
and are not influenced by signals from either of the other two holes or by end effects.
c)
The holes are to be drilled cleanly and the diameter is not to be enlarged in any way e.g. by deburring
operations on the external or internal surfaces.
A.3.1.3

tube display. The alarm monitor is to be positioned to include the depth range at which bore defects
will be indicated, i.e. at the midway position between the first and second outside surface defect
positions. The alarm monitor sensitivity is to be set to the level defined by the outside surface notch.
d)
2)
Shape - the cross section of the notch is to be nominally of rectangular section; other sections
are to be adopted only by agreement with the Acceptance Authority.
3)
Length - standard longitudinal notch 25 mm maximum. Standard transverse notch may extend
fully round the circumference.
4)
5)
Depth - the standard notch depth is to be 3% of the specified wall thickness or 0.1 mm,
whichever is greater, unless otherwise agreed between the acceptance authority and the
Contractor. There is to be no positive tolerance on the depth of notch. The internal notch is not

Annex C
Specific Requirements for 70/30 Copper-nickel Alloy Tubes
(previously detailed in Def Stan 02-780 Part 3)
C.1 Scope
a)
This Annex specifies the requirements for the manufacture, inspection, testing and supply of 70/30
copper nickel alloy tubes previously covered by Def Stan 02-780 Part 3.
b)
The tubes supplied against this Annex are for general purpose and heat exchanger / condenser use
only. Where tubes are required for a special purpose, e.g. an oxygen clean system, this should be
specified in the contract documents together with any special cleaning requirements and the required
acceptance standards.
c)
70/30 copper-nickel alloy tubes are placed in eight classifications (Classes 2-9 inclusive) dependent
upon material condition, usage, and wall thickness. The classification does not denote the level of
quality assurance.
The classification of tubes is according to usage, dimensional units and material condition and is
defined in Table C.1. Any subsequent stroke number denotes maximum working pressure in either
psi for imperial tubes or bar for metric tubes.
b)
All tubes are to be designated by class, outside diameter, wall thickness and length.
C.3 Manufacture
C.3.1
Tube Production
Unless otherwise stated in the contract documents, all tubes are to be made to the dimensions detailed in
Tables C.2 and C.3. For condenser and heat exchanger tubes the requirements of Def Stan 02-329 must
also be met.
C.3.2
Condition of Tubing
a)
b)
Condenser and heat exchanger tubes are to be supplied in either the hard or the annealed condition,
dependent upon the requirements of the contract documents. When the hard condition is specified,
i.e. Class 5 and 8, the tubes are to be given a low temperature stress relieving treatment.
c)
All tubes are to be cleaned to remove all contamination and moisture. After cleaning, the tube ends
are to be suitably sealed to prevent ingress of moisture and contamination during transport and
storage.
C.3.3
Supply Requirements
Unless otherwise stated in the contract documents, all tubes are to be supplied in straight random lengths of
not more than 6.0 metres. 90% or more of tubes in each batch are to have a minimum length of 3.5 metres.
The remainder may be supplied in shorter lengths down to a minimum of 2 metres.
31
C.4.1

supplied condition.
C.4.1.3
Mechanical Tests
a)
b)
c)
A flattening or double bend test shall be carried out as detailed in clause A.2.
d)
C.4.2
Non-destructive Tests
Dimensional Inspection
The wall thickness at both ends of each tube is to be measured at four positions 90 apart.
C.4.2.2
Additional ultrasonic thickness testing to clause A.3.3 may be optionally required and stated in the contract
documents.
Destructive Tests
C.5.1.1
Chemical Analysis
Chemical analysis of each cast and each batch of tubes shall conform to Table C.4.
C.5.1.2
Mechanical Tests
a)
The specified tensile tests shall conform to the values in Table C.5.
b)

c)
In the flattening or bending test the tubing is to show no visible evidence of cracks or flaws.
32
Non-destructive Tests
a)
Visual examination of the tube surfaces shall meet the requirements of clause 9.2.1. All tubes shall be
free from local bends and kinks.
b)
Dimensions shall meet the requirements of Tables C.2 to C.3 and the tolerances of Tables C.6 to C.7.
All condenser and heat exchanger tubes are to have ends cut clean and square to within 1mm.
c)
Leak tightness and pressure tests shall meet the requirements of clause 9.2.3.
d)
e)
If ultrasonic wall thickness gauging is required, tube is to be rejected where the wall thickness is
outside the thickness tolerance (Tables C.6 to C.7), without the need to record where the thickness
approaches the minimum tolerance on good or rejected tubes.

1)
Solution treatment consists of furnace heating the tubes to a temperature of 775C 25C for a
period of 15 minutes to 1 hour, followed by rapid water cooling.
2)
Precipitation hardening consists of furnace heating the tubes to a temperature of 500-525C for
a period of 1 hour, followed by cooling in still air.
E.3.3
Supply Requirements
Unless otherwise stated in the contract documents, all tubes are to be supplied in straight random lengths of
not more than 6.0 metres. 90% or more of tubes in each batch are to have a minimum length of 3.5 metres.
The remainder may be supplied in shorter lengths down to a minimum of 2 metres.
E.4.1
E.4.1.1
Destructive Tests
Sampling for Destructive Tests
Tests shall be made on a test sample taken from each cast and each batch of tubes in the as finished and
supplied condition.

Chemical Analysis
A full chemical analysis shall be made from a sample taken from each cast and from batch of tubes in the as
finished and supplied condition.
E.4.1.3
Mechanical Tests
a)
b)
c)
d)
E.4.2
Non-destructive Tests
Dimensional Inspection
The wall thickness at both ends of each tube is to be measured at four positions 90 apart.
E.4.2.2
Additional ultrasonic thickness testing to clause A.3.3 may be optionally required and stated in the contract
documents.
Destructive Tests
E.5.1.1
Chemical Analysis
Chemical analysis of each cast and each batch of tubes shall conform to BS EN 12449- CW700R.
NOTE
Tubing supplied in accordance with this chemical composition will have a magnetic permeability figure of
not more than 1.001.
E.5.1.2
Mechanical Tests
a)
The specified tensile tests shall conform to the values in Table E.2.
b)
The specified hardness test shall conform to the values in Table E.2.
c)
In the flattening test the tubing is to show no visible evidence of cracks or flaws.
E.5.2
Non-destructive Tests
a)
Visual examination of the tube surfaces shall meet the requirements of clause 9.2.1. All tubes shall be
free from local bends and kinks.
b)
Dimensions shall meet the requirements of Table E.1 and the tolerances of Table E.3.
c)
Leak tightness and pressure tests shall meet the requirements of clause 9.2.3.
d)
E.5.3
If ultrasonic wall thickness gauging is required, tube is to be rejected where the wall thickness is
outside the thickness tolerance, without the need to record where the thickness approaches the
minimum tolerance on good or rejected tubes.

This alloy can be easily welded by the normal GMAW and TIG
processes.
Resistance, spot and seam methods should also give excellent
results.
May be formed, drawn or spun by normal cold-working processes
but this may adversely affect corrosion resistance when subjected to
service temperatures in range 50-100C.
During severe forming operations, this alloy will need interstage
annealing.
Salt water services and marine applications, cryogenics and welded
pressure vessels.
After welding, the strength of the alloy is reduced to that of the
annealed (O) temper in the heat affected zone.
Corrosion properties may be improved by anodizing and sealing.
Maximum service temperature 100C.
