Sec. 56.60-1 Acceptable materials and specifications (replaces 123 and Table 126.1 in ANSI-B31.1).
(a)(1) The material requirements in this subpart shall be followed
in lieu of those in 123 in ANSI-B31.1.
(2) Materials used in piping systems must be selected from the
specifications which appear in Table 56.60-1(a) of this section or Table
56.60-2(a) of this part, or they may be selected from the material
specifications of section I, III, or VIII of the ASME Code if not
prohibited by a regulation of this subchapter dealing with the
particular section of the ASME Code. Table 56.60-1(a) of this section
contains only pipe, tubing, and fitting specifications. Determination of
acceptability of plate, forgings, bolting, nuts, and castings may be
made by reference to the ASME Code as previously described.
Additionally, accepted materials for use as piping system components
appear in Table 56.60-2(a) of this part. Materials conforming to
specifications not described in this subparagraph must receive the
specific approval of the Marine Safety Center before being used.
Materials listed in Table 126.1 of ANSI B31.1 are not accepted unless
specifically permitted by this paragraph.
(b) Components made in accordance with the commercial standards
listed in Table 56.60-1(b) of this section and made of materials
complying with paragraph (a) this section may be used
[[Page 219]]
in piping systems within the limitations of the standards and within any
further limitations specified in this subchapter.
Table 56.60-1(a)--Adopted Specifications and Standards
Note: Table 56.60-1(A) replaces Table 126.1 in ANSI B31.1 and sets forth
specifications of pipes, tubing, and fittings intended for use in piping-
systems. The first column lists acceptable standards from ASTM; the
second lists those from ANSI. The Coast Guard will consider use of
alternative pipes, tubing, and fittings when it receives certification
of their mechanical properties. Without this certification it will
restrict use of such alternatives to piping-systems inside heat
exchangers that ensure containment of the material inside pressure
shells.

Note: When using 104.1.2 in ANSI-B31.1 to compute wall thickness, the stress shown here shall be applied as
though taken from the stress tables. An additional factor of 0.8 may be required by Sec. 56.07-10(c) and
(e).
\1\ For austenitic materials where two sets of stresses appear, use the lower values.
\2\ Type F (Furnace welded, using open hearth, basic oxygen, or electric furnace only) limited to Class II
applications with a maximum service temperature of 450 [deg]F. Type E (ERW grade) limited to maximum service
temperature of 650 [deg]F, or less.
\3\ Electric resistance welded pipe or tubing of this specification may be used to a maximum design pressure of
350 pounds per square inch gage.
\4\ Refer to limitations on use of welded grades given in Sec. 56.60-2(b).
\5\ Use generally considered for Classes I-L and II-L applications. For Class I-L service only, the seamless
grade is permitted. For other service refer to footnote 4 and to Sec. 56.50-105.
\6\ Furnace lap or furnace butt grades only. Limited to Class II applications only where the maximum service
temperature is 450 [deg]F, or less.
\7\ Limited to Grades 285A, 285B, and 285C only (straight and spiral seam). Limited to Class II applications
only where maximum service temperature is 300 [deg]F or less for straight seam, and 200 [deg]F or less for
spiral seam.
\8\ Limited to Class II applications where the maximum service temperature is 300 [deg]F or less for straight
seam and 200 [deg]F or less for spiral seam.
\9\ For Class I applications only the Class I Grade of the specification may be used.
\10\ When used in piping systems, a certificate shall be furnished by the manufacturer certifying that the
mechanical properties at room temperature specified in ASTM A520 have been met. Without this certification,
use is limited to applications within heat exchangers.
\11\ When used in piping systems, a certificate shall be furnished by the manufacturer certifying that the
mechanical properties for A192 in ASTM A520 have been met. Without this certification, use is limited to
applications within heat exchangers.
\12\ Hydrostatic testing of these fittings is not required but all fittings shall be capable of withstanding
without failure, leakage, or impairment of serviceability, a hydrostatic test of 1\1/2\ times the designated
rating pressure.
\13\ Other acceptable iron castings are in UCI-23 and UCD-23 of section VIII of the ASME Code. (See also Sec.
Sec. 56.60-10 and 56.60-15.) Acceptable castings of materials other than cast iron may be found in section I
or VIII of the ASME Code.
\14\ Acceptable when complying with American National Standards. Ductile iron is acceptable for temperatures not
exceeding 650 [deg]F. For pressure temperature limitations refer to UCD-3 of section VIII of the ASME Code.
Other grades of cast iron are acceptable for temperatures not exceeding 450 [deg]F. For pressure temperature
limitations refer to UCI-3 of section VIII of the ASME Code.
\15\ For limitations in use refer to Sec. Sec. 56.10-5(c) and 56.60-20.
\16\ Copper pipe must not be used for hot oil systems except for short flexible connections at burners. Copper
pipe must be annealed before installation in Class I piping systems. See also Sec. Sec. 56.10-5(c) and
56.60-20.
\17\ The stress values shall be taken from UNF23 of section VIII of the ASME Code for B75 annealed and light
drawn temper as appropriate.
\18\ B68 shall be acceptable if provided with a mill hydrostatic or eddy current test.
\19\ Centrifugally cast pipe must be specifically approved by the Marine Safety Center.
\20\ Limited to pipe fittings and valves. See Sec. 56.60-15(d) for additional information.

\3\ Mill or manufacturer's certification is not required, except where a
needed portion of the required marking is deleted due to size or is
absent due to age of existing stocks.
\4\ Because this standard offers the option of several materials, some
of which are not generally acceptable to the Coast Guard, compliance
with the standard does not necessarily indicate compliance with these

necessary to fully identify the materials used. The material used must
comply with the requirements in this subchapter relating to the
particular application.
